this place is typical of Africa, its beautiful and the concept of the hotel is great, but the managers have a problem teaching the staff how to do good service. examples such as the bellhop showing us a room and us asking if there was a room that had a better view and he showed us one we liked and... more

When travelling to a place like Uganda, I am a big believer in staying in a very nice hotel to transition myself to the culture, food, smells, and pace. The Emin Pasha did not disappoint me.

We enjoy the place and people. Very best option in Uganda more
