Hey friends;||||I guess those of you who had some cons could have visited the hotel a while back.||||I must say that I have been visiting Gulu for atleast two months every year and this is where i stay whenever I'm in Gulu and every time I go there is a new addition or improvement.||I have also been to a number of the hotels in Gulu and that's why I have come to this position.||Just a quick highlights of the Pros;||- Receptive staff||- Cleanliness||- Location and ease of access to the bus park, banks, post office, Uchumi Supermarket (the biggest supermarket in the town), the central police station and almost all offices.||- There is hot water on all the sides of the hotel and it never fails.||- 2 hotel shuttles ready to pick you right from the bus park, or even Entebbe Airport (they always pick me)||- 24hr security surveillance||- wireless Internet||- Business Center||- Stand by generator||- Pharmacy (this one I like)||- Laundry||- Gardens (I found this when I went there early this year and the ambience is just so good for a cool sitting or even a private party)||||NB: In a nutshell it's the only hotel in Gulu with all these services including a Pharmacy in one place.||||Thanks and hope you enjoy too.||TD...
