The Best and Most Affordable Place to Stay in Entebbe is Oslo Gardens Bed and Breakfast Hotel
I have been looking for a quiet place by the magnificent Lake Victoria just to spend a day before my onward trip to Bangladesh. For finding a better option, I initially looked into the google map and sorted out a few options. Out of all the options, ‘Oslo Gardens’ struck my mind out of nowhere. Location was definitely amazing but on top of that I was thinking how ‘Oslo Gardens’ came all the way to Entebbe! At the end I have selected the best and most affordable place to stay in Entebbe and it is Oslo Gardens Bed and Breakfast Hotel.
‘Adel’ the receptionist has received me and informed me that they have upgraded my room as there is some maintenance work going on. The atmosphere, behavior of the staff, and everything around me made me feel home away from home. After checking into my room, I ordered my lunch and that was really a fabulous lunch.
Meanwhile, I have met the wonderman Mr Steiner, the owner of the Oslo Gardens. An amazingly cool man. We both were sitting at the bar, and I asked him ‘what brings you here Steiner?’. Without even blinking his eyes, he immediately replied looking at the lake, ‘this brings me here all the way from Norway’. I looked at the lake and it was mesmerizing. The sun was setting opposite to us over the lake and everything around was beautiful. I left the bar and climbed the stairs of the three storied building and remained there till it was completely dark.
I was really amazed by everything about the hotel and more amazed by the personality of Mr Steiner. In the evening, I asked Steiner ‘what time do you serve breakfast?’. To my utter surprise, he replied ‘we do not have any time’. I failed to catch his words and wanted to confirm that I had booked the hotel with breakfast. He replied, ‘Yes! You will have breakfast, whenever you want. We do not have any time restriction. Steiner does not like chasing people when they come to him for relaxing!’ OMG!!!
What it was! In my short life of traveling around, I have never come across such a beautiful concept! In my head it was echoing ‘Steiner does not like chasing people’. It was not just him, but his entire team was amazing. Adel was a fantastic and gorgeous girl; always upfront for anything you need. Met Frank at the bar, who works at Oslo Gardens besides his study.
I really appreciate the entire team’s outlook and how they treat their guests. I remember Steiner saying ‘Our guests come to us as strangers but they leave as family’. And I did find the proof of this statement to every detail during my short but surely not the last stay. Their beautiful rooms with beautiful view, amazing hospitality, cordial staff, fabulous food, and open and broadness of minds made me fascinated.
The hotel provides everything you need at the cheapest price comparing to its location, service and standard. The rooms are beautiful, neat and clean. The place is quiet and away from the city chaos. The food is amazing and served always hot with super care. They provide free wi-fi with a very good speed. The place is secured and they also provide airport pick up and drop. What else you really need to make the most of your days during your vacation!
If any of you are planning for any trip to Entebbe, certainly it should be ‘Oslo Gardens’. It may not be super fancy if you are into fancy things. But certainly this is one of the best affordable options out of all the places around Entebbe. And I can quite guarantee you, that no other hosts will host/ treat you like a family member, the way Steiner and his team did to me. Well, you can also book this place for any other events like wedding, birthday celebration, or any other program. All you need is to reach out to the amazing people of Oslo Gardens.
