Palm Gardens Guesthouse features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Kampala. This 3-star hotel offers room service and a concierge service. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. I had a spectacular view from my balcony, very clean and neat room. The presence of a common lounge where I watched some live games and bar on the side was really good. I can't forget to rate highly the tasty breakfast I had from chef Sam

At the guest house, each unit has air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a hot tub, slippers and free toiletries. All units include private entrance. All units have a desk. Beautiful guest house, with such accommodating stuff, nothing was too much trouble! Daniel and team were so friendly and welcoming. Felt at home straight away, and the location is perfect- Muyenga is a really lovely neighbourhood and safe to walk around in - would recommend anyone staying here to visit the Endiro Coffee just down the hill ! Kampala can feel so busy but this guest house is a perfect place to come back to after a busy day!
