Pros:

I I didn't like how a night shift employee checked into my room at 5:30 in the morning while i was at the gym. The employee had no reason to be in my room at that time and he couldn't give me a reason why he was there. Then i call the front desk to report the incident and its the same employee who picked up the phone and assured me that no one was in my room. When the morning supervisor came we reviewed the camera and sure enough that employee was in my room for no apparent reason. I was forced to check out of the hotel prematurely and had to find another secure hotel. I will never go back to that hotel for poor security.

ANTS were seen around and also a small RAT that was moving about -reported to the reception-on check out. food and facility average - I do not recommend this property to anyone and will never stay again.

Central stay in Kampala
Pros:

Good business hotel with a very friendly staff and central location. I advise to ask for a hotel room facing the golf court rather than the Main Street at the back of the Hotel. The restaurant offers a great choice of local and international food.

Pros:

The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to answer my every request. I think the rooms would be better with carpet rather than bare tile and a pair of house slippers or shoes would make a difference with the bare tiles. Water pressure is good though the shower would do better with a sliding glass door rather than a curtain.
The breakfast is good and has nice variety. A little noisy in the morning due to being next to a major road but it is manageable. Overall I would stay here again.

Good for Business Visit
Pros:

The location of hotel is good and near to all major businesses. The rooms are big and clean. Staffs are friendly. People can go by walk in the night to near by Clubs & Restaurants. Breakfast is limited to local foods. But no much complaints.Overall I enjoyed staying.

Pros:

If you have no better place to stay,then book this hotel.very poor ethics in regards to front desk and management. Booked a fully paid stay for 15 days but due to other obligations had to leave in 5 days, with booking company promising to refund my balance. The hotel management RIPPED me off by refusing to honor the request from Expedia. Again if you have no better place to stay and all the many surrounding hotels are full then make this your choice. For me i will never.

Big Disappointment!
Pros:

I am a frequent traveller to Uganda but it is my first time to stay in this hotel. This place needs a serious attention to cleanliness. The rooms are not well maintained. Bathroom stinks! Beddings looks dirty. The loud sound of the AC in my room didnt let me sleep the whole night! I arrived late night and had to go for early morning meetings and i didnt have good rest at all. Terrible experience.
One more thing is that the hotel should be a little considerate. I was told I can check out at 2:30pm but since my flight is in the evening, i asked for a later check out around 4:30pm. They didnt agree and said i will be charged extra. I spoke to the Duty Manager and he said the maximum he can allow is 4PM. I didnt feel good arguing for just 30mins so i checked out at 2:30PM. Some consideration sometimes makes a lot of difference, especially if the hotel is not fully booked.
It was a complete disappointment and I dont see myself staying in this hotel again.

Amazing stay with amazing staff!
Pros:

We travelled to Kampala as a group of 5 and stayed at the Metropole. The staff were so lovely and helpful. A special mention of the manager Ivan Kusemererewa who solved every query we had with a smile. We stayed there for 2 nights & had to return on our way to the airport. He had everything organised and welcome. The food was great & the drinks were a very good price. I fully intend to stay here again on my return. Caroline

Food from restaurant was excellent especially the Thai and the fish.
Room at the back was noisy with traffic and people talking outside. Ask for rooms in the front.
Adequate gym facility.
Good siting area for a small hotel
