Its been over a year since I was there but felt The Protea deserved a good report. Having been to Uganda on a few business trips we decided to try a different hotel to the Sheraton. Being South African we chose the Protea Hotel which turned out to be way above my expectations. My room was large, as in super... More

I stayed in the hotel for two nights. The food was very good and rooms tidy (room service sent me an ironing board within ten minutes of asking). Breakfast buffet had loads of selection – would have made a good lunch. The hotel is on a small block but they have integrated everything well; with gardens and outside bar sitting... More

This was my first time to sub-Saharan Africa and Protea impressed on all fronts. Nice rooms, terrific/helpful staff, adequate business center, nice restaurant/bar, central location, modern amenities, decent gym,... I felt very at-home after my 8 nights there, the highlight really being the staff.

We were scheduled to stay there this week for 2 nights. We would be arriving by plane very early morning and we had requested pick-up from Entebbe airport. Their car was not there and we had to venture outside the airport to find a taxi on our own. When we got to the reception, after checking computer for 15 minutes,... More

I spent one business night at the Protea Hotel in Kampala and was very impressed with their level of service. The reception processed me very fast and were very helpful, instead of requesting me to fill in a long form all I had to produce was a business card + passport of course (they make a copy and return it)...

Our treatment at this hotel was highly unprofessional and unacceptable. The hotel offered a group a certain rate and then proceeded to change the price a number of times. Staff wasted a huge amount of time (a whole week) through a series of miscommunications, lies and intended avoidance in trying to resolve the problem. In addition they moved part of... More
