I arrived in Kampala around midnight and was spending two nights here before beginning a 12 day primate trek with Volcanoes Safaris. The hotel was excellent. My standard room was spacious and very comfortable and very clean. The food in the hotel was very good, the buffet breakfast was excellent. The grounds are pretty expansive. More

Great hotel for the rooms , service. Gym is fantastic and a stunning pool area is beautifully maintained. Really friendly staff. Such a shame about the food , apart from breakfast ( there are not too many ways to screw up an egg..) the rest was average to awful. More

This is every company's go-to hotel for Kampala, and it doesn't disappoint. After staying up country in some of the smaller districts, I loved coming back to the hotel - they have thought of every comfort you might need and are happy to help you in any way. The television system went out while I was there, but it wasn't... More

To be fair I was only there for two nights but the rooms were immaculate, the food excellent and I found the price for what I got was amazingly cheap. The Serena is a huge hotel and has large gardens and... More

This place couldn't be better. An oasis in the middle of the city. Best of all is the amazing customer service. They even remembered our names we came back the next week. Couldn't recommend this place more. More
