We stayed here on two different occasions. The first time we were there, we stayed on the street-side. It was noisy- but not nearly as noisy as the second time we stayed and had to listen to BLARING music all. night. long. Really, it felt like we were up in the club trying to go to sleep! It's really clean,... More

After three visits to the city in eleven years this is the best budget hotel I've found in the center of Kampala. If you are going to stay in the center you just can't beat the location on Kampala Ave. It is a 5 minute walk to the Post Office/ Post Bus station and the Old Taxi Stand, from which... More

This hotel has a fantastic location. The rooms are large, clean and airy, and great value for money! Free breakfast consists of fresh fruit, omelette, toast and tea, and the free wi-fi is an excellent bonus! The staff are all lovely, the only downside to this hotel is the noise. Rooms at the back have loud music playing and the... More

Occupying a good location across from the square the hotel is clean, with good hot water and friendly staff. We especially appreciated the late breakfast that they were nice enough to make us. The only major downside is the traffic noise, but it is to be expected being right on Kampala Road.

This hotel is right in the centre of the city and you can walk upto Nakkumatt and Centenary Park within 20 to 25 minutes. The hotel Manager is an Indian who is very polite and cooperative. The worst thing about the hotel is its entrance; you have to walk through a narrow corridor and climb the suffocating stairs probably through... More

I liked Hotel City Square enough to stay there twice, and I'd stay there again. I thought it was pretty good value for money. The staff were reasonably pleasant and helpful. My rooms were comfortable and clean, and everything was in good repair -- far too many African hotels let themselves go to seed and fall into disrepair, but it... More
