The Hotel is currently renovating its rooms and that will improve the standard 100%. Rooms are very spacious, the best about breakfast are fresh fruits. The attached restaurant hosts excellent Indian cuisine! Walking distance to Garden city, the biggest malls for shopping in the city. Very friendly welcome, pool clean and warm. And best : fastest & free internet in... More

Very comfortable hotel in a safe location close to many NGO offices. I like the ability to make an e-mail reservation that will be attended to promptly. The shuttle pick-up from the airport is great after my 32 hour travels from North America when you're not in the mood to be accosted by hundreds wanting you to take their taxi... More

Nice hotel, great location. Rooms are airconditioned and big. Tv in all rooms, it is value for money. But the linen in the rooms can be upgraded. It is old and outdated. A lot of renovations has been done like the reception area. The food in the main restaurant is good, but service slow. The food, service and quality at... More

Been to Uganda a few years ago, a lot of things have changed. This was my first time to the Fairway. It has a very nice reception and grounds, very open and serene. There are some beautiful fountains in the front courtyard and some nice art pieces around. They also have an art exhibition there every Saturday where local artists... More

Upon arriving at the Fairway we realized that nothing they advertised on their website was to be found exactly as stated. We booked a triple room 2 weeks before the intended dates. When the front desk was showing us to our room I thought they were leading us into a prison cell rather than a hotel room. The hall ways... More

I have stayed at the Fairway for 3 years running now, usually at the beginning and end of charity work up country. Always a warm welcome, we have got to know the owner and manager well now, in fact, in 2010 when Kampala was targetted by terrorists, we had booked the rugby club (subsequently bombed) for a closing ceremony for...

It's inexpensive (for Kampala), the rooms are clean, the staff friendly and helpful, it's located near the UN and there's WiFi and a pool. What more do you really need? The main restaurant is a bit grim (too big and the food isn't fabulous) but the terrace Indian cafe is great and the food comes quickly. WiFi is quite slow... More

Looking for a room for a couple of day stay, I ended up at this hotel. The roomprice, so I was told, would be $85, too much for me so I told the staff I would leave. But sir, this includes meals. Quick thinking on my side, asking if the meals were really included so dinner and lunch? Yes sir...Ok,... More

When you arrive at the hotel, you are greeted by one of the friendly Bellmen who will offer you a shot glass of chilled Orange juice while you check in. There are some local art sculptures and painting to admire within the tastefully designed lobby area and a row of paintings line the hallway leading to the Restaurant on the... More

For $86 a night, the hotel needs to up its game! It is unkempt with aging carpets, seats and beddings. I wonder when it was last renovated as it has several leaks along the corridors and the bathrooms are also very scary! The mattress was also very hard. Honestly, it was a disappointment and I doubt will ever go there... More
