missingWrote a review on Nov 08dirty poollimited breakfast
what a disapointment this hotel was. I simply could not believe the dirty pool area, like, are we really in a hotel? also, breakfast was absoutely underwhelming for the price charged. I almost gave this place a good review, but I woudl ve liked some sort of complimentary gesture, yet nothing was offered. pathetic!

The beautiful gardens surrounding Hotel Africana provided a serene atmosphere for leisurely strolls, while the spacious layout made it easy for me to navigate comfortably as a senior. The vibrant colors of the landscaping were truly uplifting.
Improve room sound insulation for a peaceful stay.

We had a fantastic time enjoying the live music performances at night, which created a vibrant atmosphere. Staying here with my niece was unforgettable. staff like Grace provided exceptional service, arranging a delightful birthday cake on short notice for one of our group members.
My kids wished for better kids’ activities.

Business travelers expect better
The amenities were actually decent, like the gym was well-equipped with everything to get a solid workout in. I also appreciated the warm towels and delicious drinks when I arrived, a nice touch that felt personal.
It wasn’t cheap for what was offered but overall, still acceptable.

missingWrote a review on May 31comfortable bedplenty of pillowsresponsive staffsmelly toiletslow lifts
The Deluxe Double Room had some issues. the toilet in one room smelled pretty bad, but luckily, they moved us to another. The lifts were slow, so we waited a bit. The beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows, which was nice. Not the best experience but at least we got a good night's sleep after the room swap.

It's an appropriate option for a day tour in Kampala with the best value for money ratio. I enjoyed the lovely garden atmosphere and live music in the evenings, which made my stay enjoyable. Consider visiting during the week for a quieter experience.
