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.

Standard Apartment at the Speke
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.

Ambiance and price friendly hotel in City Center
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). .

Speke staff are like family to us!
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.
