Overall Ratings & Reviews New Court View Hotel

Lovely setting amongst lush gardens. Each little banda is cute and comfortable.

Quality of the hotel is reflected in the price (in my case about $35 per night). The room was very small and very basically equipped - not even a TV. WiFi only works in the restaurant area. However, the water was hot (always worth checking before you lay down any money). All rooms are African 'bandas' - in the garden on ground floor. The foreign visitor may find that charming and authentic but when it's been raining, that means lots of mosquitoes. I got bitten a lot but that could be my fault for not spraying up beforehand. The staff are very good, polite, friendly and attentive. The restaurant is good too - fairly varied menu of European and African dishes, but beware...as in many Ugandan establishments, they don't always have what they advertise. Breakfast was nice and well presented. Masindi itself is not much. The main attraction is obviously Murchison, but I would have thought it's too far away to be a real launchpad for there. However, most of the other hotel guests were foreign tourists so maybe I'm wrong.

Nice place, Nice staff, naar Murchison Falls.
