Stayed at Mamba Point as other hotels were booked. Mamba Point is a very very basic accommodation. Clean, safe. Definitely not warm and cozy. The staff overall was very nice. Breakfast again is very basic - nothing at all special. Bed and bath linens changed daily - but quite worn and stiff. Would recommend if you are on a budget... more

We have been hesitating about writing a review about the Mamba Point for a couple of years now. We have visited Mambo Point a few times now and hope to have a chance to travel to Kampala again soon. We are afraid that by writing this review, next time we drop by Kampala it will not be any rooms available... more

As a frequent traveller to Kampala and having stayed in a wide variety of the accommodation available, this is undoubtedly the best available. The accommodation is well designed, comfortable and has all the facilities required, including reliable (and free!) internet access, for a stress-free stay. It offers a haven of peace and quiet in a frequently trying city, coupled with... more

In a city with many questionable guest houses, this one left no questions un-answered. We have stayed at many different places in Kampala seeking rest and refreshment, this one tops them all. Didn't feel like a guest, but welcomed as family. more

Our favorite place to stay when we're in Kampala. Friendly staff and personable owners with a top-notch restaurant attached (Italian). The internet connection was the best we found in the whole city, and everything was immaculately clean. There are only 6 units, so you don't feel like just another number. We had the swimming pool all to ourselves. We've stayed... more

The Mamba Point guest house is indeed a peaceful haven that sits in quiet tranquility on Nakasero hill above the chaos of central Kampala. My travelling companions and I looked forward to stepping through the gate of the compound every evening after a long, hot, dusty day in the suburbs of the city. The owners Guido and Fiona make you... more

Dear travellers! I have been working in Uganda on and off for about 4 years and have stayed at many different hotels in Kampala. It was not until I found Mamba Point Guesthouse that I felt at home although I was very far away from home. It is a little heaven in Kampala and it has a very friendly, quite... more

I stayed at Mamba Point for a couple of days. it was recommended to me by the staff at Emin Pasha hotel, who are just across the street and were fully booked. My room was clean, the service was efficient, and the price was reasonable. I really can't complain. So what was missing? It was a bit sterile and lacking... more

I'm afraid, dear traveller, that you are confusing tranquillity and peacefulness with something that you define as lack of character. In fact, the true character of our establishment is represented by those very factors that you denigrate and that instead make our guesthouse so appealing to many other business and tourism travellers. I'd suggest that, instead of writing a demeaning...

Mamba Point is a fantastic guesthouse, perfect for business and holiday travellers alike. It's a short distance to the centre of Kampala, yet situated in the quiet and sophisticated neighbourhood of Nakasero. Patrons Guido and Fiona offer comfortable rooms, all mod cons (including free wireless broadband) and fantastic and professional service, supported by their excellent staff. The rooms at the... more
