It's hard for me to write a negative review about Hotel Africana since I feel so strongly that they have one of the best staff out there. Each person from the bell hops to the front desk to the swimming pool treats you like a valued guest and a special person. I can't count how many times I was asked,... More

This is a large busy hotel with spacious, well furnished and clean rooms. As previous reviewers have said, the hotel is popular for weddings and conferences, with music in the gardens going on well into the night. We had a room on the 11th floor of the tower block which really helped as the noise was far below us, so... More

There is a mosquito net curtain around the bed which gives a wonderful feel. The views are great, you can see right across Kampala and see the traffic jams in the morning and the city lights by night. The only... More

The rooms are spacious and clean. Room service is good and the customer service is wonderful. However, the noise can be deafening. I happened to go on a weekend where there was some sort of party or conference. No sleep for the weary. Music blared until almost 5am. It would be nice if the informed guests while they are booking... More

This is a good hotel with fantastic staff that go out of their way to please. When I asked for a place to cut my hair, the lady at the reception came out and took me to the hotel's hairdresser. Then, during our three-day conference, I asked for many things to be moved around, for taxis, laundry, food that was... More
