Speke Hotel

The hotel is a little pricey, but it is worth it considering other options that are "cheap", but give you no service whatsoever. The staff was great and attentive. There are three restaurants onsite, so one has many options for meals. It's very quiet at night and the Internet works quite well. It is the first time I haven't had to tether my phone to use the Internet at any hotel at which I have stayed in Kampala.

My advice to anyone thinking of staying at this hotel, is to make sure you understand the difference between the Speke hotel and the Speke Apartments. Go with the Speke Hotel part.

I have stayed at the Speke Hotel on several trips over the past few years. The stay has always been enjoyable the staff is friendly and very helpful.

The rooms are spacious, clean and the beds are comfortables. What I really appreciated is that there was 3 different types of restaurant, so I did not have to go out in town as I was staying there for 5 days.

nice place to stay for a few days. The hotel is 100 years old. so, obviously, it is not the most modern of all buildings..... It has a lot of atmosphere and a very nice a friendly staff.

Property is a bit dated, needs some face lift. Lock in our room door damaged and couldn't lock properly from the inside.

The stay was pleasant. Hotel is in need of renovation.

stayed here three nights. This was my second time staying here in the last year. GOOD - They have a nice breakfast from 7-10. They do work with and support Hotels.com BAD - On Hotels.com it said it was an apartment, in small print, watch the print. It does have a kitchen but it is small, a small fridge. The apartments are separate from the rest of the hotel but some distance, like the other end of the city block. UGLY - Where do I begin.!! It was that bad. I WILL NEVER stay in the apartments again, not knowingly. It is way way far away from the rest of the hotel, I was at one end of the city block and breakfast was at the other end, the path to breakfast was either the street side walk or through a muddy parking Its lot of dirt and through a metal gate that is locked from midnight until 7am. The parking lot is terrible, no pavement all dirt. The hotel rents out the lots to car washing ppl, so if you park your car there at 10pm there will be very few cars there but then you wake up the next day at 9am and your car is surrounded by 200, yes 200 other cars and there is no way in H*** you are getting your car out of there. So you park in the main hotel parking lot which is at the other end of the block. Try carrying your luggage one entire block. S***, I hated this apartment situation.. And, the staff harassed me and my fiancee, thinking she was a prostitute and all white men are Whoremongers. Thats not professional.!!!

the location is good. the staff are good the lack of an elevator might present challenges to more elderly visitors the cleanliness overall is good but the room facilities can be challenging the aircon in my room took the entirety of my stay to be resolved. also hot water in the bathroom can take a while to reach the shower or basin.

The staff are so kind and the most professional of all of Uganda. My wife had fallen ill due to her time of the month and trying to keep up with me exploring the city and the hotel staff helped us get medicine that had her back up and on her feet within a day's time. They are heroes in the motherland!
