On the other hand, the location was quite noisy due to the nearby market, and I encountered some frustrating issues with service and communication. Overall, the hotel offered decent value but could improve on certain aspects.

I had a mixed experience at the Biraj International Hotel. The location is vibrant and full of life, directly across from Nakosero Market, which is a plus. The rooms were initially impressive but lacked some basic amenities. The service was hit or miss, with slow Wi-Fi and limited breakfast options. Overall, while it has potential, certain simple adjustments could make this hotel much better.

My stay at the Biraj International Hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the location near Nakasero Market provided an authentic local experience, the hotel's amenities left much to be desired. The rooms were clean and featured a lovely wooden sleigh bed, but basic necessities were missing, which made my stay less comfortable than I'd hoped. The staff were friendly and did their best, but inconsistent Wi-Fi and a rather limited breakfast situation were disappointing.

The hotel presents a polished facade but struggles to deliver on basic amenities and services. While the rooms are clean and appear nice, many features simply don't work, from the unreliable Wi-Fi to the loose fixtures in the bathroom. The location is lively but can feel unsafe at night, pushing me to opt for taxis. Overall, while there's potential, it falls short in execution.
