Hotel Acacia City — Hotel in Kampala

Stayed here for 3 nights on recommendations from multiple friends. Although staff were very hospitable and rooms were clean and spacious and location was good, I won't stay here again. Stayed in room K20 the first night, and the road noise and noise of other travellers arriving late made me feel a little insecure and difficult to sleep. Next day the staff were very understanding and let us move to another room also on the ground floor which was a bit quieter but still with other travellers arriving, people at the Resteraunt, and guards locking up, was still difficult to sleep. Also water pressure in the showers wasn't very good (that's what I look for in a hotel, quiet, clean, and good hot water pressure!). I've had friends stay here who told me the rooms on the second floor facing the back are more quiet, so if you do stay ask for one of those. The Ethiopian Resteraunt was really good. Oh and the wifi...

I was in transit, and needed a cheap and quiet hotel to spend the night, and made a reservation through Booking.com. The hotel is located on Kira Rd, behind the Acai Mall in Kololo which is on a major street where you can find taxis and bodas travelling up and down throughout the day. When I got there the receptionist had no problem with finding my booking, and I paid with cash because they do not accept credit cards. I had booked a single room which was clean with a bathroom and television. The bed was so comfortable, and hotel very quiet.

The next morning I had breakfast which consisted of an omelette, fresh fruit, toast without butter, juice which ||complimentary. Their wi-fi is free and excellent, and from now on I will be staying there anytime I come to Kampala which is about...

This is a relatively cheap accommodation option in central Kampala, right opposite the Acacia Mall and well-placed for taxis etc. The staff were universally friendly and helpful, but sadly my stay was tarnished by a poor room. It was on the ground floor with no outside window or natural light (a permanently curtained window looked only on to a corridor) and was only just big enough for the two double beds placed in it. It was also right next to the Ethiopian restaurant - which produced wonderful food and exotic aromas when I was hungry, but I wasn't pleased to have to contend with cooking smells all through the night. I guess that there must be other rooms with real windows on the upper floors and further from the restaurant, but apparently they were all taken when I stayed. The breakfast was alright - nothing special - but I preferred to cross the road to Cafe Javas which was...
