I just love it here.
Pros:

very well welcomed, the staff is always ready to help you, the rooms are big, comfortable and very clean. I just love it here. Any one planing to visit Uganda/Kampala, this is an ideal place to be, located in the middle of the city, yet quiet for relaxing. We had great time here.

Great Value for what you pay....
Pros:

Had to travel to Kampala for business and colleagues made the reservation for me. Check-in takes place in 30 sec. Stayed a night first and then came back for two more days. Had a small problem with the bathroom (which can happen even in 200+$ 5star hotels) and they changed the room with an upgrade free of charge. Needed a small item in the middle of the night and the reception sent it to the room in 2 minutes. So this hotel is a great value for what you pay. Also it is located right in the middle of the city center, you can reach anywhere very easily.

Pros:

On the whole very pleasant. Polite and helpful staff. Except that the girl at reception always tries to give us a room that is cheaper than the one we have booked and paid for. This has happened twice in a row.
On thé plus side the manager has contacted us when we had left a bag by mistake and we got it back.

One of the worst hotels I have stayed in
Pros:

Initially I booked an apartment-it is not clear from the site that you have to walk across a muddy car park to get there. The apartments are really poor quality. So I upgrade my 2 day stay to a room, which was nicer but still not in the main hotel. I paid USD 15 for this but when I came to check out I had to pay another USD 15. There was no hot water in the room and the shower attachment leaked terribly. I was offered a room change because of the water but a friend who was staying there said he too had no hot water so there seemed little point. The reception staff are uninterested generally. The breakfast is poor.

Speke hotel kampala
Pros:

Speke hotel location is good but, this is an old hotel required renovations, building is very old, breakfast is reasonable with fruits, sausages, eggs of your choice, juices, coffee and tea. Indoor food is not good. They have open air sitting arrangements for lunch and dinner. Room service is average, no toiletries given in the wash room, always ask to provide soap and shampoo.
