I checked into the hotel late in the evening and the process was quite fast. On getting to my room, I found that I had been allocated the disabled room. Upon enquiry the next morning, I was informed that the hotel was fully booked but they promised to allocate me a different room the same day-this did not happen until... More

Large, clean rooms, nice and bright. Good service but if the hotel is busy, the breakfast area gets too crowded. Friendly staff. I'd go back. More

i arrived in Kampala from Canada after a very long flight. The Golf Course Hotel is an ideal blend of North American service standards mixed with the pleasure of African culture and service. The European food choices were welcomed and the morning buffet was fabulous. The staff are pleasant, trustworthy and they extend a warm welcome. Great location, minutes from... More

I had read various negative reviews of this. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that it is absolutely excellent. The bathrooms are to die for and the rooms (or at least the double room we had) was the largest hotel room I have ever occupied. The staff were courteous and helpful and and it didn't take long to check... More

Lovel hotel with very friendly staff, exceptionally comfortable and clean rooms, nice restaurants and a good location. Thoroughly recommended. Try and get a room over looking the golf course - the road outside can be quite busy and whilst it is great for people watching it never quietens. The gold course side is far nicer. More

I live in Uganda and have been to the various restaurants in the Golf Course Hotel on more than one occasion. Spurs (a South African chain) offers decent burgers and steaks and the Bamboo Terrace is a little fancier, but still reasonably priced. The hotel is conveniently located and there are many hotel amenities (golf, fitness centre, pool, etc...) I... More

I stayed at the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala for 2 weeks in April 2011 - late review! I have to say that I was sorely disappointed! There was a terrible smell in my room, which I complained about, but there wasn't any recourse. Eventually, during week 2, I entered my room to be greeted by such a foul stench,... More
