I should have written a review immediately after leaving - this is 1 month later - but if I did it would be even worse, since I left upset... Don't write angry, I always say :) Why did I leave angry? - it took over an hour to check out. I'm not kidding, that's how long it took for them... More

Metropole is near to the CBD while far enough to from the crazy Kampala city traffic; the nearby the Kampala Golf Course accords a quite seclusion that does not pinch the pocket; rooms are decent; Free wifi - although signals are a bit weak, especially in the rooms on the 3rd floor; good Thai restaurant and a relaxing sit-out restaurant...

I stayed here for 2 night, really smal place, not much on the place. The food is really poor. The rooms are modernish, but are a little run down. Manager was friendly but the staff were horrible, not helpfull. The place appears to be near a swamp or something because it had an odd smell around it on the day... More

Rooms - relatively big, quite new, very clean. Good Internet. Make sure to take a room facing the golf course and not the road!!! Prefer a high floor if possible. Service- very good; from drivers to reception staff and restaurant waiters Location - it is 5 minutes drive from the center of town. This is OK, but do consider that... More
