Las Vegas Hotel Mbarara
8/10 Good
"We did enjoy our two-night stay at the Las Vegas hotel. The staff was super nice and the grounds wonderful. Only disappointment, which had nothing to do with the hotel itself, was the distance to Lake Nburo N.P., which was a lot further than we had anticipated."
"My third time staying here. I come to Uganda for a charity - so on a budget. Also staying by myself. I travel out each week day to work and spend evenings and weekends here. I like the Wagga because of the large garden it. You have a feeling of space. It feels safe. It is quiet at night. The WiFi isn't brilliant but OK. The staff take good care of me. But there can be very noisy weddings at weekends. The restaurant is limited and the coffee lousy. There are no leisure facilities like a pool or gym. This time I had to pay cash for my meals/laundry on check out (before I used a card)."
