This is Uganda and not everything works - internet, credit cards and so on. But this colonial style hotel is an oasis for resting. Food is good, rooms modest but fclean, views delightful, staff friendly

This place is a must stay for me wherever am in Mbale. Its quite gardens, the picturesque mountain in the eastern background, large spacious rooms, great breakfast & dinner is not to be missed. The rates are reasonable and the staff very helpful & friendly. This is where to stay while in Mbale.

Mt.Elgon Resort is located on the outskirts of Mbale further east right from Mbale Resort. It's a reasonably priced, some people find it expensive as it's located in Mbale.

When we were shown the room where we were to stay, we were happy to find it far better than many other hotels. It was spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was cozy with... More

We stayed two nights with our six young children. We had a great time. The service was great, The rooms were very clean, especially by African standards. The grounds were very well kept and the view is beautiful. The only things I would want to be different, are for the pool to be open after 6 p.m., and for the... More
