My stay at TriStar Hotel was truly memorable due to the impeccable service and elegant ambiance. The hotel offers great value for money with clean and comfortable rooms, and the food was excellent. While the location gives a glimpse into real Kampala life, it might not be to everyone's taste. The bathrooms were a bit unusual, but overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely return.

The bathrooms are unique, lacking traditional shower setups which might not appeal to everyone.

I had a great stay at Tristar Hotel in Kampala. The hotel is clean, modern, and offers excellent service at a reasonable price. The food was tasty but a bit on the pricier side compared to the room rates. The location wasn't perfect, being a bit off the main road, but it helped avoid heavy traffic to the airport. Overall, a solid choice for value for money.

The dining experience was enjoyable, with excellent food options. However, I felt the prices were a bit high compared to other costs at the hotel.

The hotel is fairly new and clean, but I feel there could be enhancements in signage and perhaps more soundproofing due to noise from nearby bars.
