Overall Ratings & Reviews Speke Hotel

Room was comfortable. Shower facility was good. Asked for a hair blow dryer which they provided. Provided a nice breakfast box as we had to leave very early. I would recommend the Speake hotel

Too expensive for the value of the rooms

Property is very comfortable in all terms

On the whole very pleasant. Polite and helpful staff. Except that the girl at reception always tries to give us a room that is cheaper than the one we have booked and paid for. This has happened twice in a row. On thé plus side the manager has contacted us when we had left a bag by mistake and we got it back.

Initially I booked an apartment-it is not clear from the site that you have to walk across a muddy car park to get there. The apartments are really poor quality. So I upgrade my 2 day stay to a room, which was nicer but still not in the main hotel. I paid USD 15 for this but when I came to check out I had to pay another USD 15. There was no hot water in the room and the shower attachment leaked terribly. I was offered a room change because of the water but a friend who was staying there said he too had no hot water so there seemed little point. The reception staff are uninterested generally. The breakfast is poor.

It was ok... bed not comfy as expected hotwater was scarce and no water to wash on the commode

Peaceful, fast wifi, accessible to everything, good people

A good central location, apartments/suites are subject to external noises (2 night of loud music!) but otherwise well appointed. Staff are great, meals were lovely.

Great place for the price , the staff was amazing. In one of the best parts of town as far as location . I would recommend this hotel if you come to Kampala.

I booked a standard apartment for 4 nights, which was bigger than expected but pleasant. It is not in the hotel, but out the bar area and across a parking bay. Not a problem for me, and the autonomy of an apartment makes it worthwhile. The staff was friendly and helpful, the Indian food in the Khyber Pass was probably the best I've had. The kitchen in the apartment was stocked with plates and cookware, stove and fridge worked as well. I would definitely stay at the Speke again and I highly recommend it.

Had best experience

Wonderful place. Great location! Good food restaurant on the side. Delicious breakfast buffet every morning!! Friendly people.

If you stay in the apartments be prepared for a lot of early morning noise from the street

The hotel is very reasonably priced to nearby alternatives - and very conveniently located - in Kampala city. The hotel has a nice old ambiance .... some services are a bit run down and the breakfast is of poor quality. The staff is friendly and old school. The hotel doesn't have a gym - but its sister hotels have and you get access to those excellent facilities (a 12-minute drive). .

I just love staying there. such a great ambience in the middle of Kampala. Food good, staff great. It has to be experienced. Has car parking and good access for where one need. Just nice to sit even waiting for food and soak up the atmosphere

The staff is WONDERFUL! (That’s why we continue to come to the Speke) A bag was delayed on arrival, and when it came a couple days later, the staff (Robert!) secured it for over a week until we returned.

I loved this hotel, it's old and quaint with large rooms, powerful showers and old school toilets. Its got charm and style that some of the modern hotels lack. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is right in the centre of town so it's a bit noisy with traffic going past throughout the night. Better to ask for a room at the back. The only thing I will criticise is the food, the bread and cakes at breakfast were stale, and the restaurant doesn't serve local food. Other than that, I am a happy customer and will stay again.

A lot of noise outside by locals vet early mornings

Great value for money!

I made a mistake thinking I booked Speke resort and in fact it was thé other Speke in city center. I vé been charged 80 dollars for staying Speke resort with 2 meals and 2 breakfast. I took it. Potentially I m not alone being a kind of victim of thé confusion between thé two places. I love Speke resort AT thé point WE stayed even sunday afternoon. Globaly for this moment I spent 230 euros and not even a coffee has been offered...
