Find Hotels in Entebbe, Uganda

I arrived at Entebbe at one in the morning and exited to find nobody with my name or Albert Suites. Nobody had ever heard of Albert Suites or the address. Taking a taxi we circled for over an hour. Finally a kind boda boda rider caught up with us and said he knew the place. He took us down dirt roads and alley ways. I was ready to fight thinking this was a set up. Not a single sign to the destination. Arrived at a gate. No name. After much noise a man opened the gate. No knowledge of our arrival. Big discussion but finally offered rooms. Then called his boss in UK who conformed BO BOOKING but I had a booking reference. Later the boss called back and confirmed a booking BUT for next day forgetting that the 0550 time was the next day. A shambles. DIRTY house, very little equipment for a self contained house. NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL. STAY AWAY

I came to Entebbe to photograph the Milégé International Music Festival held in the Botanical Garden (next door). For me it could not be better to be so near the event, and the friendly personale made our stay perfect. We felt at home at once. The breakfast was very good and there is not one single thing I could complain about. Thank you very much for a nice experience.

Albert’s Suites: The property is a collection of 5 independent units, each with two bedrooms and a full kitchen. Many have a washing machine. House 1 is the coziest and House 5 is the largest. They are all newly built and have been open for only about six months. I stayed in House 1. Albert is lovely, lives on site, and made sure I had everything I needed even though I was only there for a brief stay. Bear in mind that, like many places in Uganda, credit cards are not accepted but Ugandan and/or US currencies are. I would recommend Albert’s Suites and wish I was able to stay longer!

There was a small issue with billing. This was resolved immediately and the GM and other hotel staff went above and beyond to compensate for the error. I am in Uganda every 6 months and this will be where I stay each time I am in Entebbe. This is my 2nd time here and I am not sure why I have been staying at other Hotels in Entebbe. Sometimes as a tourist you just want to try other hotels in the area, but when things are perfect there is no need to go to other places. The menu seems to have been modified (shortened) from the last time I was here and I am impressed on how they have perfected it rather then having an abundance of things on the menu. Overall I give everything a 10 (food, customer service, cleanliness, hotel staff). I can't find anything to complain about. The lady that worked the front desk my first stay is now the manager. She is as impressive now as she was back then. If you come to Entebbe and stay here I assure you that you will not be dissapointed. -Bernard
