    The rooms were reasonably spacious in general, with immaculate linen. There were an electric kettle and a fridge too. Its location was absolutely perfect close to the downtown area of Kampala.

    Modern and luxurious accommodation with ideal setting close enough to northern Uganda, sea of disappointment and central Kampala. Helpful, professional people working here. A nice size rooms with complimentary water, coffee and fridge, great pool. A lot of outstanding food at breakfast time.

    The hotel staff were super friendly, and the restaurant prices were jaw-droppingly reasonable. The location was mind-blowingly convenient for my meetings, with a gas station convenience store across the street for snacks and drinks. The pool and large outdoor area were amazing for families, and the paid airport pickup and drop-off made my travel a breeze.

    the hotel was reasonably large, with very friendly efficient staff and marvellous location to various events. location: the property was close enough to the centre of kampala, the restaurant, and the downtown area of kampala. and there was bmk cafe with short-orders close to the venue, super convenient.

    There was bad smell in some areas and Wi-Fi was very spotty.

    The breakfast at Africana was absolutely delicious and offered a wide variety of options. The music show in the evening was a highlight of our stay, with talented singers who kept us entertained all night. The facilities, including the swimming pool, gym, and spa, were excellent and provided a great way to relax and unwind during our trip. I had a pleasant stay at this hotel and would recommend it to others.

    our recent stay in kampala was amazing - hotel africana outdid themselves this time! the friendly staff, clean rooms, and reliable wifi made our group visit unforgettable. the location was perfect, with convenient stores nearby and a safe area for outdoor activities. the hotel travel desk was also a great help for transportation needs.

    Reception staff could be more welcoming.

    During my recent Christmas stay, I appreciated the cozy ambiance of the hotel, which was greatly enhanced by the bright and colorful decorations that screamed festive. The hotel's proximity to top-notch restaurants and shopping malls made it an excellent location for sultry city walks, with just a short stroll to exciting places. I also found the hotel staff to be hospitable, always cheerful, and eager to assist with our needs.

    Some aspects of our stay dimmed the festive spirit. Our first setback was the disappointing Wi-Fi service, which was frustrating and most definitely not worth the expense of our stay.
