"Saleh and his team are amazing. Best place to stay in Mbale! LJ"

Mbale Courts View Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was good for the price. The only real issue was the number of menu items not available, which as I am a vegetarian means that you were left with one or possibly two or three if you hacked the menu. That said, the staff were all extremely nice and did their best to help."
