Starlight Hotel Mbale

We were in Mbale for 10 nights, and chose Starlight because our local friend felt it had the best security. We always felt very comfortable. It's a nice place, lovely grounds in back, nice view of Mount Wanale. Room clean, had a writing table and chair as well as an easy chair and a big wardrobe. Bathroom big with a pan-type shower, not slick or hard to get in and out (important!), had a curtain, water mixed well. Sink leaks and not attached to pedestal. Bed was comfortable with a nice mosquito net, although we never saw a bug of any kind. TV in room but we never turned it on. Fan attached to wall above the bed, set on oscillate; mostly kept the room cool except when the power was off - the generator wouldn't run the fans. WiFi in room, not quite as strong as in lounge area but there. Comfortable couches and chairs in the lounge area, and it's a pleasant place to sit and visit. Dining room chairs are comfortable enough, tables fine, everything clean. Service pleasant but communication a little difficult. Breakfast good but service slow - one Spanish omelet cooked at a time. Link sausages most days, always had fresh pineapple, watermelon, bananas, toast with Blue Band and jam. Coffee a little weak for my taste but drinkable; had African coffee a few times and it was good. Also had mandazis one evening and they were good. Didn't eat dinner, just snacks once or twice.
