This hotel is very well located in Kampala, in a quiet area. It is a typical business hotel, with conference rooms available but the size of the building, with only 3 floors, makes it a cosy experience and the food has been excellent throughout my stay. My standard room was very spacious, with a very nice view (room on side... More

Whilst this is a "standard" Protea that shouldn't detract from the fact that this hotel really delivers on all scores. Swift and pleasant reception, spotlessly clean, quiet and very comfortable rooms. Extremely good breakfast. The best bit is the comfortable bed. The only thing that could be improved is the bed side lighting as its not really good enough for... More

Its been over a year since I was there but felt The Protea deserved a good report. Having been to Uganda on a few business trips we decided to try a different hotel to the Sheraton. Being South African we chose the Protea Hotel which turned out to be way above my expectations. My room was large, as in super... More

I stayed in the hotel for two nights. The food was very good and rooms tidy (room service sent me an ironing board within ten minutes of asking). Breakfast buffet had loads of selection – would have made a good lunch. The hotel is on a small block but they have integrated everything well; with gardens and outside bar sitting... More

This was my first time to sub-Saharan Africa and Protea impressed on all fronts. Nice rooms, terrific/helpful staff, adequate business center, nice restaurant/bar, central location, modern amenities, decent gym,... I felt very at-home after my 8 nights there, the highlight really being the staff.

We were scheduled to stay there this week for 2 nights. We would be arriving by plane very early morning and we had requested pick-up from Entebbe airport. Their car was not there and we had to venture outside the airport to find a taxi on our own. When we got to the reception, after checking computer for 15 minutes,... More

I spent one business night at the Protea Hotel in Kampala and was very impressed with their level of service. The reception processed me very fast and were very helpful, instead of requesting me to fill in a long form all I had to produce was a business card + passport of course (they make a copy and return it)...
