Northern Pearl

Northern Pearl is a nice and very safe hotel, with beautiful gardens, and a truly excellent restaurant (especially the Indian options!). The staff were very friendly, and I had a very pleasant experience throughout. However, while it is comfortable, the accommodation is not the best value, especially compared to alternative options in Gulu. The rooms could use a little work, the bathroom in particular needs an upgrade, while I also had some issue with cockroaches, caterpillars, and mice in the room.

This hotel keeps dogs that are released without informing guests. I got attacked in the night by dogs and it was a terrible experience especially since I was not informed at the check-in. It was a big trap and it was also very strange for a hotel to have dogs roaming the compound. I asked the guard and he pointed me to a small note in the room mentioning the fact. The rooms do not have phone extensions for guests to get help from the reception desk. So, you have to move to the reception physically. If you insist that this hotel is your choice, please be very careful, especially for those travelling with children or heart problems. You may witness your worst travel experience while in Gulu.

I stayed here for a few days and had dinner in the restaurant twice. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I felt 100% welcome. The room (a small standalone cottage, actually) was good (not perfect: the bathroom needs some upgrading) and fairly priced. The gardens are full of mango trees and really good for relaxation. The food in the restaurant is really decent.

This guesthouse has a really good indian restaurant and individual huts in the back. The area is quiet, the huts are quirky but clean, there is hot water with a decent water pressure, the breakfast is excellent and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. In addition there is a large garden, at good place to hang out or eat dinner.

I travelled to attend a evening party and overnight stay. The place is peaceful, service is top class. I really like the gardens in the middle of property. all the public areas are tastefully decorated with different flowers. Food is amazing, accommodation is cottage style and has all necessary amenities like hot water, TV, Fan, Ac and cotton beddings etc.

Has really good food with a lot of variety cuisine wise and its not too pricey either. I really enjoyed my stay ☺️, although it was short (only 2 days). There is a really nice garden with swings, very peaceful. The whole place just a great vibe imo, 10/10 would recommend 👌.
