Pearl of Africa Hotel

Pearl of Africa Hotel

Kampala|0.95km from Waterfall Cruises - Murchison Falls
Background: Two 90-year-old girls travel to Uganda. Arrived at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The male boss of the same flight was late, and one day later, the two of us went to Uganda first. 1, the address is particularly difficult to find. Pick up our friend and sent us to find the hotel for a long time. The hotel is on the top of the mountain, but it is impossible to find the way to go. The doorway is not particularly noticeable. I found an hour and ran around on the mountain road. 2, after we check in, the friends who sent us will leave. When we checked in, we lived in a connecting room. I don't know if anyone is next door. At about nine o'clock, we packed up and took a shower and sat down. We placed two 25 kg suitcases and two 11 kg suitcases at the door. Plugged in the safety chain. At this time, the country has had a good time in the early morning. Then we fell asleep. . 3, Uganda at 1:15 am, I was awakened by the sound of people hitting the door. Too tired and too sleepy, flying for a dozen hours from China to Uganda. When I woke up, I thought I was dreaming. Because I opened my eyes and didn't hear people hit the door again. When I close my eyes, I am going to fall asleep. But the feeling of the slamming door is especially true. I can't sleep. Strong support. Listen carefully to the outside. After less than three minutes, I started to hit again. I was so scared that I got up and dressed. Call my colleague. The two girls did not dare to say anything. Listening to the door outside our door, I dare not speak and make a sound. After a while, I went to the door and looked at it. I found that the door lock was opened. The suitcase that I pressed a few pounds was pushed away, and only the safety chain was hung on it. The safety chain is stuck and cannot be pushed. We didn't dare to talk. I don't know if it was time for two girls to be seen during the day. I am afraid that others will know that there is someone in the room, the door will crash and the safety chain will be knocked open. Scared us to call our friends right away. The friend immediately rushed over. I slept in our room at night. My friend's English is not very good. There are not many people who deal with the hotel, so when people come in, they come in the room. We don't dare to let him go out again. I slept in the room at night. We went to the front desk the next morning. In the daytime, I am not afraid of anything. The front desk actually told us that it was a rounds. Check the room at one o'clock in the morning. I saw something inside blocking the door and hitting the door. Fortunately, the safety chain is worn. In a foreign land, I don't want to talk to the hotel. Don't want to cause trouble. Say, don't go to the round again, and then go back to the house silently. Having said that, reminding everyone to go out, the safety chain must be set. You must pay great attention to your expensive star hotel. This place in Uganda is really not suitable for girls. I will never go again in the future. Girls are not safe. The economy is really too backward.

Protea Hotel Kampala

Protea Hotel Kampala

Kampala|0.4km from Waterfall Cruises - Murchison Falls
There were many other hotels we could have chosen to stay in Kampala but having had such a great experience 4 months ago, we decided to return to the Protea Hotel by Marriott in Kampala. Joan and Charlotte were very good at checking us in quickly. Thank you so much as we were very tired having travelled nearly 20 hours by plane! Maurice, Noah and Rehema were excellent with their customer service by ensuring my mother and I had everything needed for a nice evening. Our room did not have a mini fridge so Maurice suggested he will go and check for a spare one. Maurice brought us one, given the fact that the hotel was almost full. Noah, thank you for all your help in making the tasks I needed completing easier and quick. Maurice, Noah and Rehema thank you for your great hospitality. You were all so kind. Jasper, Sampson and Issac looked after us when we were having diner in our room and made sure we had what we needed by being so quick with their service. They had to run to the kitchen back and forth and were very efficient although they were all very busy that night. In the morning, the breakfast buffet was great with a big variety of food choices. The chef on the night duty made some Poha upon our request, thank you for doing that for us. The Poha was delicious and so were the Indian pakoras. Chef Godfrey made beautiful omelettes as we wanted and went beyond his time to fulfil my mother's need with the chillies. Derrick made us teas the way we liked and the teas were perfect. Cissy and Aisha thank you for your kindness and service. Sharon it was lovely to see you and wish you all the best. The buffet was a mixture of continental and cooked breakfast with a couple of ”chef's speciality of the day” which were delicious! Well worth the money. Samuel, thank you for your speedy checkout and your advice. Thank you all again for your kindness and making another stay wonderful. We will miss you all but promise to return again in the near future. Each one of you have contributed to another great stay and made it even more special, you were all very friendly, courteous and very accommodating. The quality of each of you was very impressive. With regards to the hotel, it was great to see some improvements to the room. The bed was very comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud :) The room was very clean, spacious and the new decor was superb. However the shower gel needs to be changed back to the old style one as the new gel is so runny like water and not soapy at all! Also, the WiFi was a bit slow this time and got cut a few times. Still giving 5 out of 5 stars as each member of the staff were amazing and professional with their duties. Can not wait to see the refurbished version of the hotel in months to come :)

BMK House Apartments
3.5/512 Reviews
We booked a one bedroom apartment. It was agreed in writing by email. On arrival on the agreed date we were told there were no one bedroom apartments available until the next day. So we were given a studio for the night. It was agreed there was no charge for that first night. The next day we went into a one bedroom apartment. It was reasonably OK but nothing in the kitchen actually worked. The cooker didn’t work. A cupboard door fell off. The oven didn’t work and so on. We were given a two ring gas hob as a temporary solution but it took up what little available space we had on the worktop. Despite being promised the cooker would be sorted the next day we were stuck with the “temporary” solution till we left. 13 days before our month was up, we asked to move to a two bedroom apartment. Staff were happy to arrange that but I was asked to pay $700 for the upgrade. I pointed out that $700 was the difference between a one bedroom and two bedroom apartment for the whole month. Surely as there were only 13 days left in our stay it would be fairer to pay, say, $350, instead of a full month’s difference of $700. This was out of the question, apparently. So, I told them we would leave at the end of the month instead of extending it to two months. We picked a two bedroom apartment with a washing machine. Big mistake. Not only did the washing machine not work but neither did both ovens nor the toaster etc. the “washing machine specialist” who came round was a 16 year old girl armed with just a screwdriver. She confirmed the washing machine was faulty - something we already knew. Next day two men came round to fix it. When we got back there was a note to say it had all been sorted. It hadn’t. It was still broken. So we complained again. The following morning, SEVEN people turned up with another washing machine. This one worked but, unfortunately the entire control panel was in Chinese with no English at all. The fridges in our original apartment and this later one had touch screen control panels but they were entirely in Chinese. I discovered they were also counterfeit LG fridges but that’s another story. We were given the temporary gas rings we had in the last apartment as the hobs didn’t work here either. So, when our month was up they were very surprised we were leaving. “What about your second month?” I was asked. Hmmm I thought I’d made it quite clear we weren’t staying when charged $700 for 13 days’ upgrade. So, nice location. But, we won’t be back any time soon.
Sheraton Kampala Hotel

Stayed here for the second time, the hotel is not too long, it is acceptable, the hardware level is nothing to say, the international standard, the breakfast is very rich (and takeaway meals can be picked up by yourself), it is acceptable in all aspects, but the price is too expensive .

The food is so good, the Chinese food is great, and the breakfast is good. It is much better than what I had in Shanghai. I miss it very much when I arrive in Tanzania. I really want to go back to Uganda. The chef of this restaurant is the best I have eaten in Africa. Recommend

Hotel Africana

Every time I travel to Uganda, I always stay at this hotel. I booked a room with a balcony. The room was large and comfortable. . . The hotel is also very big with a swimming pool. Every night there is a live band playing on the lawn. The hotel restaurant tastes good and the price is very affordable. . . Praise
