Nice property as per Africa standards with excellent staff. Rooms are decent but hotel stands out on its offerings with respect to restaurant choices; Indian, Italian, Continental; you name it and they have it in the same compound. No hesitation in recommending this property if you are on Business trip.

We stayed at this hotel one night in April 2013. The hotel is a little "oldish". The room had a nice balcony (ask for it, as the back-side is much less appealing) facing a main street and a garden across the street. The street noise in Kampala isn't a big problem at night. Our room was not too big. It... More

An excellent resort just outside city center Kampala by the famous lake Victoria. It has every thing you want in a great hotel and resort. A huge property of its own you can spend all your time in side the resort compound even if you don't want to go out. Very green with lush green gardens and walk ways from... More

This institution in Ugandan colonial history is well located for the business traveller, provided you get a room facing away from the entertainment and restaurants. Be aware the 'escorts' that frequent the Rock Garden. Variety of options as far as meals are concerned, all reasonable quality, Mamma Mia for Italian, hotel's weekly Mongolian fare, as well as a really good... More

We stayed at the Speke Hotel for 8 days in February. The Speke is excellent value -- clean, spacious rooms, very friendly staff, and a superb central location. It is not a luxury hotel, but we wouldn't have wanted luxury in Kampala. It is simple and appealing, and we felt much more connected to the city and the people staying... More

Greeted with very friendly service on arrival and throughout the stay. The wifi worked well in the rooms and the food in the on site Indian restaurant was good - large portions as most places in Kampala. The rooms however were dated, old and uncomfortable. The pillows were very thick and the AC was super cold even when the temp... More
