    As youngsters, we really loved the spacious and quiet rooms at Protea Hotel. The staff, especially the housekeeping team, were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our request for a quiet room was fulfilled, and we had a great view overlooking the conference center.

    My stay at Protea Hotel in Kampala was fantastic. The location was perfect for exploring the city and enjoying the vibrant nightlife. The staff, especially Samuel, was welcoming and efficient during check-in and check-out. The room and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. The hotel grounds were well-maintained and provided a pleasant atmosphere. The live entertainment provided a lively atmosphere, but it ended at a reasonable time. I had a great experience at Protea Hotel and would highly recommend it.

    Free Cookies and Great Breakfast

    Had a weekend stay at a hotel near the city center. Loved the complementary cookies and coffee in the lobby. Breakfast offered a good variety and everything was fresh. The location was convenient, close to shops and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, and had good Wi-Fi.

    The hotel charged too much for what they offered. The gym was basic and not well-equipped.
