Beautiful gardens. Clean. Breath taking place. I will go back to this place again. Big thank you to the staff who can't do enough for you. Look forward to coming back. God bless you all.

I'm from Italy and I went to Speke to represent my country invited and (in theory) paid for by an international competition called "Miss Planet International" and arrived at the hotel, the bitter discovery of having been the victim of a scam by this woman Monika Akech. I had to pay for my stay, but thanks to the kindness, availability and friendliness of one of the managers, Vivek, the burden of the scam eased and I was able to enjoy a wonderful holiday feeling welcomed, protected and safe. I highly recommend the structure from every point of view: hospitality, services, cleanliness, food, friendliness and magic. Thanks Speke, heartfelt thanks Vivek.

Well kept. Clean and with fresh breaths as gardens grow green throughout the year. The touch to lake Victoria is seen from the windows and you can walk around the place. Sit outside and sip your coffee/tea. Friendly workers. Be prepared to carryon enough cash as this place is somehow expensive compare to prices in downtown Kampala

One of the best experience that I ever had in my life. The property is spread with quite and calm environment and I must say that I'll surely recommend this property for a night stay. What makes this hotel amazing is the staff; especially Mr. Vivek Negi who is all rounder and always anticipates guests request on time.

Checked-in Friday 9Sept expecting to spend a relaxing weekend but the pricey room facing lake & swimming pool became a nightmare by the loud noises created by fabricators of an event company, not stopped until 2 am until complained heavily. Started again in few hours …! Management what’s the protocol for the event companies?
