Big rooms, but musty and no air conditioning. Food verges on being some of the worst I have ever tried and I have travelled fairly widely. Level of staff incompetence is amazingly bad even by African standards, would have stayed at the Serena next door except a friend got me a ridiculously good deal. But even so not staying here...

The Imperial Royale is well located. I looks very posh and the rooms and the attrium are huge. The room itself is a bit grotty. The capets look old and don't smell fresh, the bathroom is big but not very modern. I stayed here one night for business, which is ok, but I would not like to stay here longer.... More

This was a business trip of 20 days. Nothing could have been better than the location, pricing and facilities offered by this hotel. The rooms were big, cleaned every day (with sheets and towels changed), Wifi access, mini locker and clean bathrooms. Each room has Tea/coffee making equipment and some (like my colleagues) also have a mini bar. Please request... More

If you're a business traveller in Kampala, stay in the Sheraton or the Serena, and avoid the Imperial Royale at all costs. The place is like a ghost-town - a cavernous hotel where no one seems to be staying, with the top five floors in darkness, half the lifts not working, and an empty bar and restaurant. In spite of...
