For me Speke Hotel was nearly perfect. The location was close enough to the heart of the city but in a very quiet district. The onsite dining and food options were diverse and very entertaining, with a great ambiance. Excellent hospitality, warm, caring and eager without motive, always available and accommodating.
Thank you Darshan and staff for making my stay there very memorable. I will see you again my friend.
Room was comfortable. Shower facility was good. Asked for a hair blow dryer which they provided. Provided a nice breakfast box as we had to leave very early. I would recommend the Speake hotel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.
Great place for the price , the staff was amazing. In one of the best parts of town as far as location . I would recommend this hotel if you come to Kampala.
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
A good central location, apartments/suites are subject to external noises (2 night of loud music!) but otherwise well appointed. Staff are great, meals were lovely.
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.

Ambiance and price friendly hotel in City Center
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). .

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Almost no water in tap or shower. Whitney Houston music from early morning to 11pm from the dining area. Run down and shabby
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.
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.
