8/10 Good
"The location was great for Fort Portal with the garden overlooking the mountains for sunset and sunrise views. The highlight was the delicious food, a great chef here. The room was spacious with outdoor seating to enjoy the views and it was clean and comfortable. You can hear music from local bars at night so earplugs might be helpful if you are a light sleeper as this is a city location. I would recommend a stay at this convenient and comfortable guesthouse."
