This was my first stay at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised at the attention of the staff. The service was excellent and friendly. The receptionist was especially helpful in guiding me in the right direction for a great evening dinner. I will be returning again within the month and know that I will be greeted once again with quality... More

This is the second time I have stayed at the Hotel Ruch, the first being July 2010 on recommendation from a friend. As a field-based researcher, I have a small budget, so I was looking for low-cost alternatives for a couple of nights in Kampala. This hotel provides security and comfort at an affordable price and a great location. I... More

A nice hotel near Kampala centre. Only 10 minutes walk to Kampala Road, but nevertheless very silent. Very friendly staff, always open for a small talk. In case of any problems or questions very helpful. More

I found this hotel through Trip Adviser two years ago and have now used it three times for short work trips to Kampala. It offers great value for $65 in an East African capital. The rooms are clean, bedding very good, and I have had a hot shower, though perhaps not all the time. The breakfast room has expanded to... More

Apart from not a hot shower, a common issue with this hotel.....for $65, not bad at all.....free wireless, satelite tv, clean, mozzy net, wonderful Indian restaurant adjoining the hotel and very pleasant staff.....and you're smack bang in the business district.....I'll be back....pls just get the hot water fixed More

I'm a fairly well-travelled male and was extremely disappointed by Hotel Ruch. The staff are extremely friendly and the garden is also very nice. The rooms are definitely not worth what they are charging and overall, the hotel is in desperate need of a face lift. The TV and wifi were not working for the majority of my stay and... More

I had reserved at the Ruch based on the positive reviews and arrived late in the evening from Entebbe. I admit that my first reaction was to tell the driver to continue on to the Sheraton and I would have had he not been the Hotel Ruch driver! The hotel is very much second rate - dark, paint chipped, cement... More

With this being my fourth stay at Ruch, it is only appropriate that I give them a fair review. Was here with a few colleagues attending a conference in the nearby Sheraton. Ruch is great value for money, very quiet and the rooms me / my colleagues stayed in had a garden view which was nice. Excellent location, and the... More

Hotel Ruch (pronounced: Roach) is priced like a mid-range hotel (65$-150$), but feels like a 15$-20$ youth hostel. The rooms are beyond bland. Water damage drips from the ceiling. Bedsheets and blankets are all polyester. Mosquito nets have gaping holes and colorful stains. Breakfast looks like it was prepared for (and by) a geriatric diabetic. Everything always needs to be...
