I definitely try to get a few nights at the Speke when passing through Kampala. An old colonial hotel that some may say is tired but most see as having great charm. The hotel is not perfect but the atmosphere is excellent and this is not London or New York after all. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Bathrooms are... More

I am a 40 year old professor from Canada and I spent my last night here after a long journey through Uganda staying at not-so-great places. The Speke was amazing -- my room was renovated, but the rest of the hotel had been restored to maintain its colonial charm. The bathroom was huge and spotless. The restaurants were reasonably priced... More

The Speke Hotel was once aon of the great hotels in Uganda. Unfortunately, years of underinvestment and generalo lack of care, has taken its' toll. The staff there are genrally helpful and friendly but there are amny areas that require attention. The first is probably Rocks Bar. It is in the garde grounds but is full of prostitutes and other...

The Speke Hotel is I think the oldest hotel in Kampala. Full of charm, very slightly tired. Enormously helpful staff, and the food at both the Italian/European restaurant and the Indian restaurant very good. The Indian restaurant, with its Gujarati curries frankly right in the top drawer - never had anything better and very few to equal them. The hotel... More

We stayed in this hotel for two nights after a trip to Northern Uganda where we were really roughing it. This hotel provided a clean room in a great location and we would most definitely stay here again! Our room was air conditioned with two queen beds on the top floor with a lovely little terrace overlooking Nile Avenue. We... More

The Speke, i guess was once a grand old hotel. In terms of age, yes it is old, but it is a little tired also as well as old. Unfortunately the company that now runs the Speke, have not bothered to invest in its heritage. The rooms are clean and simple, the internet is reasonable fast for Uganda. However the... More

I stayed here in 2003, so this is probably a bit outdated. This is a very fun hotel to stay, full service with all the restraunts you need within the hotel compound, plus plenty of tour operators within walking distance (rafting, safari, etc...). The rock bar is a bit seedy, but there are guards and security everywhere and the rooms... More

I was used to stay in Speke Hotel Kampala during the days when either Tripadvisor was not there OR I was not aware about Tripadvisor-during 2003 to 2006. After a gap of almost 5 years, I had to visit Uganda for my business and stayed in Speke. As usual, very nice experience. One could give 100 out of 100 marks.... More
