Very slick and modern, with a good but expensive (for Kampala) restaurant in the back garden. This hotel would be perfectly at home in a city like New York or London, both in terms of the quality and its placeless international style. (It doesn't read Uganda in any way, which could be good or bad, depending on what you want.)... more

We swopped hotels midway during our visit to Kampala as we were unhappy with our original booking (Cassia Lodge). The Kampala Protea became our home away from home -fantastically friendly staff from bottom to top; nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Particular thanks to Nicole and Melvina, and to the great lady at the bar who kept up with... more

I was on a business trip for four weeks. In a city where you don't know many people it is important to feel at home when you return to the hotel after work in the evening. The front desk , restaurant and housekeeping staff were fantastic! When I returned to the Hotel each evening I was warmly greeted by everyone,... more

for USD200 nightly; there is no pool, no gym, no breakfast, no bath tubs and a very weak offering for meals. the rooms have a 2nd rate interior finish and the check-out attendant was incredibly rude, better places to stay in Kampala more

I stayed at the Protea Hotel in Kampala last week and was very, very impressed. Very attentive staff lead by excellent South African management. The hotel is very new, so rooms are very smart and crisp. All rooms are air conditioned. Bathrooms are well fitted out with walk in showers. The quality of the finish is up there with any... more

A very good hotel and we had 3 nights there. Breakfasts are good, but limited lunch and dinner menu, all served in a nice peaceful inner courtyard by very attentive and kind staff. Rooms super and comfortable, and cleaning service as good as anywhere in the world. Free bottled water, wonderfully clean and staff very attentive. Some rooms look over... more

We have just returned from our trip to Uganda and our stay at the Protea was a little slice of heaven. Uganda is overwhelming to the senses, and Kampala is chaotic, dirty, hot and challenging. We had booked ourselves into the Africana, but finding that hotel extremely seedy, we went in search of the Protea, which I had seen advertised... more
