On the whole very pleasant. Polite and helpful staff. Except that the girl at reception always tries to give us a room that is cheaper than the one we have booked and paid for. This has happened twice in a row. On thé plus side the manager has contacted us when we had left a bag by mistake and we got it back.

Initially I booked an apartment-it is not clear from the site that you have to walk across a muddy car park to get there. The apartments are really poor quality. So I upgrade my 2 day stay to a room, which was nicer but still not in the main hotel. I paid USD 15 for this but when I came to check out I had to pay another USD 15. There was no hot water in the room and the shower attachment leaked terribly. I was offered a room change because of the water but a friend who was staying there said he too had no hot water so there seemed little point. The reception staff are uninterested generally. The breakfast is poor.

I booked a standard apartment for 4 nights, which was bigger than expected but pleasant. It is not in the hotel, but out the bar area and across a parking bay. Not a problem for me, and the autonomy of an apartment makes it worthwhile. The staff was friendly and helpful, the Indian food in the Khyber Pass was probably the best I've had. The kitchen in the apartment was stocked with plates and cookware, stove and fridge worked as well. I would definitely stay at the Speke again and I highly recommend it.

The hotel is very reasonably priced to nearby alternatives - and very conveniently located - in Kampala city. The hotel has a nice old ambiance .... some services are a bit run down and the breakfast is of poor quality. The staff is friendly and old school. The hotel doesn't have a gym - but its sister hotels have and you get access to those excellent facilities (a 12-minute drive). .

I just love staying there. such a great ambience in the middle of Kampala. Food good, staff great. It has to be experienced. Has car parking and good access for where one need. Just nice to sit even waiting for food and soak up the atmosphere

The staff is WONDERFUL! (That’s why we continue to come to the Speke) A bag was delayed on arrival, and when it came a couple days later, the staff (Robert!) secured it for over a week until we returned.

The building was nice but this hotel needs renovation. Most things in the room didn't function. Staff doesn't have a clue. It is close to the city center but at night it because a red light district.

I loved this hotel, it's old and quaint with large rooms, powerful showers and old school toilets. Its got charm and style that some of the modern hotels lack. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is right in the centre of town so it's a bit noisy with traffic going past throughout the night. Better to ask for a room at the back. The only thing I will criticise is the food, the bread and cakes at breakfast were stale, and the restaurant doesn't serve local food. Other than that, I am a happy customer and will stay again.

I made a mistake thinking I booked Speke resort and in fact it was thé other Speke in city center. I vé been charged 80 dollars for staying Speke resort with 2 meals and 2 breakfast. I took it. Potentially I m not alone being a kind of victim of thé confusion between thé two places. I love Speke resort AT thé point WE stayed even sunday afternoon. Globaly for this moment I spent 230 euros and not even a coffee has been offered...

This is a very nice hotel, and where I always stay in Kampala if I'm not up for spending the amount required for one of the five star hotels. It has a nice charm, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is also a central location. My one concern on this trip is that the pictures are deceptive. I have always been given a room that looks like the pictures - with a sitting area that has windows. On this trip, they tried to give us all small rooms, without any sitting area. I was told that it is the same room. Of course, that is not what the pictures show though, and it is a very different type of room and experience, especially since we needed a little meeting space. Eventually they were willing to move one of the three rooms to be in one as per the pictures, but I am still not sure if the person at check-in made a mistake, or if they have deceptive pictures. Either way, this should be fixed.

Plenty of character, several options for dining, good food. Welcoming and helpful staff. Some decor is looking tired, the toilet flush leaked when pressed, the shower could not hold even temperature. I didn’t like them charging vat on drinks prices shown in the menu when it was included in the food prices shown. Eg. 6000Ush for a beer became 7400Ush.

Apartments at rear of property are spacious and good value. Be prepared for a lengthy walk between reception and the apartment though, including a walk thru a public car park (muddy and slippery after rain). Excellent service and food.

The room I was given was not the one shown in the Expedia app. When I brought it to the notice at the reception they had no answer. The so called deluxe room was like a pigeon hole and unclean. I have taken a picture. Would never stay in this hotel again.

The staff are so kind and the most professional of all of Uganda. My wife had fallen ill due to her time of the month and trying to keep up with me exploring the city and the hotel staff helped us get medicine that had her back up and on her feet within a day's time. They are heroes in the motherland!

My advice to anyone thinking of staying at this hotel, is to make sure you understand the difference between the Speke hotel and the Speke Apartments. Go with the Speke Hotel part.

nice place to stay for a few days. The hotel is 100 years old. so, obviously, it is not the most modern of all buildings.....It has a lot of atmosphere and a very nice a friendly staff.
