2/10 Poor

The property looks excellent. The service is terrible. No wonder this hotel is a ghost place. In 2019 I had an excellent experience. See my comment then. Now I booked for 5 days without checking the latest reviews. This place has no hot water and the AC doesn't cool. The reception people promised to fix the issue. They brought hot water to my room in a 20 l plastic container and advised me to open the window cause outside is cooler. The issue looks about 1 year old but they do nothing to fix it. They keep cheating trapped customers like me. I left the place after 2 nights and asked for credit for the unused 3 nights. I am willing to come back after they fix the issue because the place is a great place, They wouldn't check me out at my request. I think they kept me checked in so that can keep my money without credit refund. This is stealing ! Another fact: they have a huge restaurant where it looked that I was the only customer. The menu is poor but unreasonably expensive; twice as much compared to the competition. And they did not have beef steak in stock. They didn't have bread and Coca Cola (lol). The people working there are nice and very frustrated. Im sure that the management will blame them. It is hard for me to understand why this unique great property is left in such disarray!

2/10 Poor

Hotel was without power for the entire stay, multiple days in darkness with no running water, no flushing toilets etc majority of facilities unavailable. Staff on the ground unable and/or unwilling to help or offer refund. Managment did not care either, we had already paid for the stay l, that's all they're interested in. I get it's not their fault if the power goes out but it's also not fair to pay full price when our kids had to search the building for a working toilet when we could not flush our own. Left early and would not go back, they do not care to attempt to help or resolve anything once they have your money.

I didn’t like anything about the place. My friends and I arrived during the early hours of the morning. The property was pitch black. We were told they had not had power for 2 days. So we had to find another hotel. We were told power returned 2-3 days later. We were never contacted to inform us there was no power.

2/10 Poor

When you get to the hotel the view outside looks promising but had a bad service, room with a lot of problems, staffs not respecting the measures against covid-19 I booked a Deluxe Double room but after my arrival I changed my room to a better room with balcony, paid the extra money and all problems started. The shower water was not heating, there were no amenities in the room, and the bathroom lamp was not working, I reported right away. I was promised to have the problems fixed, but nothing happened. Next day in the morning after my cold shower went for the breakfast that was not served even 30 minutes after the time. After complaining again I decided to change the hotel, again they promised to change my room and asked me for a chance to fix the problems. Since my business trip was only for 4 days I decided to stay. Came back from a day of work and apart from amenities the shower water was still cold, but i found hot water in the bathtube. Next day asked to change the room again because of the shower and the toilet light that was not fixed. Moved to another room, the lights were all working but no hot water in the shower again. One more time I asked to be fixed and again I hear many sorrys but after hours of the problems not being solved the manager showed up in my room saying that I could shower in another room and come back to the same room. Seemed like a joke to me I have been 4 times in Kampala and this was the worst hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

The Best and worst of the Pearl of Africa hotel.
Our stay at Pearl of Africa was overall, memorable due to the exceptional service that was offered in spite of the maintenance issues that we experienced. We understood that the country was just reopening and things were still progress to get the Pearl back up to full operation. Also, the views of the city from the Pearl were majestic!!!
