We spent some days in Kampala in between going on a safari and trekking in the Rwenzoris. Staying at Cassia Lodge was like an oasis in an otherwise fairly challenging holiday-programme. The staff was helpful and friendly, the rooms nice and clean, the view over the city and the lake is great, the breakfasts and the food in the hotel-restaurant... More

Great view of Lake Victoria, Relaxing environment, quiet. Food was great. Rooms are just ok. I was there with a group and we all had some sort of problem, either broken air conditioner, clogged shower, broken toilet, etc.

The major issue is that I didn't like the noise from the air conditioning and the flying visitors. Anyway, the rooms were clean, the food was good although a little too expensive and the country is really nice. There is a good Internet access and the price is lower than other hotels in the neibourhood.

Terrific view over Kampala and Lake Victoria. Friendly, helpful service. Main problem is the variation in rooms. Stayed there three nights prior to traveling north in room #2 with working air-conditioning and ceiling fan. A different room on our return was identical but lacked a/c and ceiling fan did not work. Comfortable beds, clean, quiet. Restaurant is good but much... More

We stayed at this hotel for 10 days while working in Uganda. We needed to be in the hotel every day to work, so it was an ideal location for peace and quiet, comfort and truly amazing views. The rooms are very nice, and the grounds also great - especially the pool which is large and clean. The downsides for... More

Incredible view over Lake Victoria. Really a place to enjoy. Food is great, rooms are nice and very clean and the staff is very friendly. I certainly go back there. In my opinion is this one of the most beautifull places of Kampala.

I stayed here in April 2011. The location was good, the vista serene, bedroom clean and on a par with any 4* hotel in UK (actually heaps better than a recent stay in a London 4* hotel, but I digress), the pool and sunloungers were perfectly adequate/comfortable (no flies whatsoever), the G&T (with ice - nothing bad happened) on the...

Excellent location, splendid view on Lake Victoria and a very relaxed atmosphere! Friendly and nice staff with a permanent smile on the face. Dining on the large terras is a gastronomic experience for a modest price. A must for visitors of Kampala!

The baseline of this hotel is really not a lie, it really offers you the most beautiful scenery you can find in Kampala. We stayed here at the beginning and end of our trip. Excellent place to recover from a long flight or to end your trip in this amazing country. A bit outside the noisy center you enjoy great... More
