“I recommend this accomodation.”
Great services, fantastic food, I really enjoyed my stay there. It was also facilitated by the drivers' services. If you need a driver, ask for Iwan in front of the hotel. He is the best.

“Speke Hotel suites disgusting to say the least”
Nothing to be honest but felt i had no choice Spoke to employees who told me 9/10 people complain about apartment and get moved to the hotel Apartments are a long distance from the main hotel reception, through a gravel parking lot and dark with no lighting. Feels unsafe especially for a night out

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were really helpful. My room was cleaned everyday with 2 complimentary mineral water drinks everyday, which was a nice touch.The breakfast was superb with a nice selection. The location is ideal, bang in the centre of the capital. I would definately come back again.

“Several nights at the Speke Hotel Kampala”
An absolute gem of a hotel in Kampala...excellent location in the heart of the city. Fantastic staff, very attentive and accommodating. In particular, the mgt team (Dharshan and Mitelesh) led by the GM Mr Dhaval. They all provided excellent guidance and tips on food, excursions, travel options etc etc.
