When i checked in I was not happy about the size of the bed because it was not the standard queen size bed. However the manager on duty Nicholas was very helpful in getting me another room. In the morning i had to leave @9am leaving my partner sleeping. When she was leaving at around 11am the lady Joan at the reception told her that I had not paid for the room. This was a big embarrasment.She went on and paid and called me. I went to the hotel and spoke to Joan who immediately apologised and promised to refund the money in 24hours.This never happened I have tried to get in touch with the manager Samuel Ssembatya to no success they keep on telling me he is in a meeting.Calling the hotel is a bit expensive because i came back to the USA.

Noise! Noise! Noise! There are a number of night clubs across the road from the hotel and the music was so loud I had to call reception at 1am and ask to be moved (which they did). The next morning I awoke to the banging of the construction activities happening on the other side of the property! I will not be staying at the Protea again in a hurry (if I do I would definitely find a room as far from the Kololo road as possible), I think Protea are going to struggle to fix this.

Hotel is in a good central position, food is excellent and staff are very helpful and welcoming, particularly Noah. However, lots of building going on in the area at the moment and so can be noisy during the day. At night, lots of loud music in the surrounding area, on Thursday and Friday night this went on into the early hours - is possible to drown it out a bit with the air conditioning but not great if you are a light sleeper

The hotel is conveniently located. Staff are polite and helpful. One issue which is ongoing is the water pressure in the bathrooms it is constantly surging so you are getting hot, then cold water every few seconds. It sometimes surges so much the shower head comes off it’s holder.

Stayed also in the Kampala Golf hotel so i can compare. Liked my room, the gym and the staff were quick on their feet and friendly. Internet was good enough for zoom and stable. Didn't like the breakfast since they switched from buffet to menu and only open at 8 am. In the Golf the rooms are good too and breakfast is buffet from 06.30 but the internet is dismal and bad altogether. Price though is much better than Protea and shops are more accessible as the Golf is adjacent to a mall.

The place was clean, the staff were mostly friendly and professional. At the end of the day, I just think there are better value hotels in Kampala. For being on the higher end of prices, there are few amenities (no pool, spa, etc.) I think the place was quite nice when I stayed here about 13 years ago but it felt like they hadn't done much to update it since then. I was disappointed that they called one of 'their drivers' for me who didn't know the place I needed to go but also had no data to pull up google maps with and look it up. I expected a bit more because of the price.

This hotel needs to train their staff and management to think out of the box.

After booking this hotel accommodation through Expedia, no email address was available for the hotel to contact them directly for any personal queries. Expedia contacted them directly and supplied their possible email but it never worked when tried. Also, at the hotel they allocated us a basic room with no fridge facility and very sparse furnishings. I had to go down and talk to one of the reception staff to offer us an alternative room with adequate room facilities. He said some rooms were reserved for executive patrons. One would not expect this from generally five-star rated Marriott Hotels with above average facilities and standards. However, we were offered an alternative room with was a bit better than the last one.

Chose to stay at this hotel after some awful customer service at another hotel. So I was very pleased to find that everyone at the Protea was helpful, friendly and seemed keen to assist. The car from the airport was rather expensive, but otherwise I can't fault anything about my stay.
