Friendly staff, clean rooms, beautiful ambiance at the pool side and a peaceful gymnasium. You will enjoy the king prawns and the warm welcome at the bar. The reception staff make sure you will have a beautiful day ahead. Don't forget to walk down the street nearby to indulge yourself with some excellent music at the vibrant night clubs around.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever been. The room is positioned for ample sunlight and quietness. So spacious and exceedingly clean. The staff are a happy team which brings good energy. The food is very tasty yet costs reasonably. I would recommend Hotel Athena if one wishes to come to Uganda. A fresh environment with very professional staff.

The hotel is located in a peaceful quiet area, has spacious clean modern rooms and offers various amenities including an outdoor swimming pool and a fitness center. The customer service team is excellent. The background music playing in the corridors is very well selected and is soothing!

From the security to the front desk staff and other staff at large. They were super helpful. I would say like a hive mind all up to one task and that’s to assist and make one feel at home. I don’t remember all names but the housekeeping team was super clean. Grace at the restaurant was just amazing.Definitely coming back !!!!
