Dolphin Suites is a quiet hotel in a business district of Kampala. Many international NGOs have offices nearby and the area feels very safe, even at night. The stay, which also included using the conference amenities, was mostly to my satisfaction. Wireless Internet has almost complete coverage of the hotel area and very good speed, considering. My room also had... More

Excellent small hotel outside city centre, very attentive staff, lovely open dining room/bar and good smallish pool. Room spotlessly clean, newly decorated with excellent shower. Food only average & unfortunately three tvs in dining area were nearly always on, sometimes with different channels & could only be turned down if other guests agreed. Laundry prices high, so I didn't bother. More

Good points: Nice quiet neighbourhood. Bugolobi is an up-market neighbourhood with some super properties surrounding the hotel and is very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle and traffic madness of Kampala city centre. The staff were very friendly and service mostly very good. Food is not bad. Negative points: Despite other reviewers comments, the Dolphin does NOT have kitchenettes... More

Has the potential to be nice, but service is slow, rooms somewhat dated and prices too high. We also suffered having no hot water for 5 days out of 6. We complained to the management every day and were told a technician was fixing it. Clearly they were not. There are many other hotels in this area of Kampala that... More

Dolphin Suites is nestled in the quite neighbourhood of Bugolobi and is a modern and convenient place to stay. The swimming pool and the outdoor bar are surely my favourite places in the sprawling property. Managed by Frank Karake, a professional in the tourist industry, the Dolphin Suites are surely a recommended place to stay for tourists and business travellers... More
