We stayed at the Central Inn for two nights. The first night was so horrible that we tried to leave before the second night. Unfortunately, management demanded the full cost for the night, even though we wouldn't be staying there, making that choice financially unsound (truth be told it was so bad, we were still tempted). The rooms/bathrooms at Central... More

The room was pretty good by Uganda standards, not too noisy. The food in the restaurant was okay, but took a long time in the kitchen. The restaurant manager tried to short change us on the exchange rate. The cab service and airport shuttle service were excellent. We got an all-afternoon cab (6 hours) to take us to Kampala for...

This is my 4th. visit to this hotel for one night on the way to Kampala. This a very basic hotel but quite adequate for a couple of nights. It was busy the night we stayed. The phone rang a bit early to remind us about breakfast but we would have been very hungry had they not called three times.... More

Not bad when you need a simple place to stay on business. Room was clean with a fan, mosquito net, small fridge and TV and en suite bathroom with a bath only. Don't expect any views. They try hard and are friendly and there's free (slow) wireless internet. That all counts a lot for me on business. Better value for... More

This is the average mid (but lower-mid) level Ugandan hotel. It all really depends on your needs and perspective. I consider it "poor" for my needs, but that's unfair, because its pretty standard, so "average" is justified. Its just a few kilometers from Entebbe (EBB) airport so I think many of the guests are one-night guests in or out of... More

On two trips to Uganda, my partner and I stayed at this modest but excellent Ugandan hotel. To drive the Entebbe road into Kampala at night is very dangerous and not advised until the morning and as many flights arrive at night, a hotel is advised. This small hotel has a nice bar and outside restraunt and the rooms are... More

I have mixed feelings about recommending Central Inn to anyone coming to Entebbe on business. I stayed at the hotel for 8 nights, before being rudely told by the receptionist, whilst waiting on a transportation to head to the office, that I needed to check-out now since she told me via email that the hotel was fully booked from today...

A decent place with very friendly staff. Well located in a quiet place but close to the UN HQ and the shopping center. An generally good breakfast spread. Rooms are neat, bathrooms not as good. Sometimes hot water is not available, but they changed rooms on request. Top floor rooms are better. Bar is good food is also OK. I... More

I found Central Inn to have acceptable standards, and the staff friendly enough. For $45, I booked a decent sized room with a bath, 2 single beds with mosquito net, a tv, a fan, and a chair and small table. The bathroom had the standard amenities, although I found it strange that the bathroom window opened to the main hallway.... More

We stayed here for 1 night as it was the starting point of our tour, otherwise we would definitely not have done so. Although the room size was reasonable we were made to feel like potential criminals by the way the name of the place was stamped / etched on everything in the room. The pillowcases were too small for... More
