I stayed at Makindye Orange House for a week while visiting Kampala, and it was everything I hoped for. The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help — from arranging my airport transfer to serving breakfast on the terrace. The place is peaceful, clean, and feels more like a cozy home than a hotel. I’ll definitely be back!
What stood out to me was how calm and relaxing the environment is. After long days in the city, coming back to the garden and the view from my balcony was just perfect. The WiFi was strong, the food was tasty, and the service was genuine. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort without the chaos.
I booked the Deluxe Double Room for three nights and was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was. The team arranged a pick-up from the airport, and everything went smoothly. The restaurant meals were fresh and nicely presented. A few more breakfast options would be great, but overall, a wonderful experience!
