Fang Fang family is a Chinese-owned and operated hotel, and the family is one of the oldest Chinese families in Uganda. The hotel is strange because it does not feel like one is in Africa, unless you need someone to do menial tasks e.g. get your bags or room-service, then you interact with Ugandans. Most of the time at the... More

We originally booked an $89 room with no AC. When shown the room, we noticed it had a damp, musty smell, as if there had been recent water damage. We requested another room and were "upgraded" to an AC room for no additional cost. This seemed like a gracious move on their part until we settled in. The room had... More

I usually burn to write on tripadvisor after exceptionally great or bad experiences. But also the mediocre warrants some attention. For 90US$ per night, I've kind of come to expect constant availability of hot water and some shampoo in the bathroom. Instead, Fangfang provides you with odd furniture and a small cockroach. But it's kind of hard to get angry.... More

I lived in this hotel for a month whilst on a project in Kampala. It's in quite a convenient location near enough the centre, but far enough to avoid noise and hassle. Some of the other hotels (including more pricey ones) can have a very seedy edge, this one is well run and maintains good standards, you'd be happy to... More

stay away from this hotel. the food is horrible, and the staff don't give a damn. customer service is not some service they can even claim to boast about. a friend's car was broken into in their car park, and management didn't give a toss. the rooms are dingy and frankly tacky.i wouldn't dine or let alone stay here for...

Disappointed with this hotel. It was not value for money and we found the service rather poor to the point where we actually got refunded for part of our stay. The rooms are adequate but rather gloomy and dull and they often have VERY loud music pumping until the early hours of the morning to the point where you can... More

After our disappointment with the other hotel in Kampala on our first night, we decided to book two nights at the Fang Fang hotel for the end of our Uganda trip. We stayed in room 202, which is very spacious and clean. There is even a little nook by the window with a set of couches and a coffee table... More

Kampala is not blessed with a huge number of reasonably priced, medium class hotels and we had heard good things about the Fang Fang; mostly from reviews. Unfortunately we were to be disappointed. Perhaps we were unlucky with our room but the hotel would have been instantly closed in many countries. The air conditioning leaked water directly onto an electrical... More
