Pros & Cons At Emin Pasha Hotel In Kampala

What We Like About Emin Pasha Hotel

  5. Offers the use of a swimming pool, surrounded by lush gardens, and a pleasant, relaxing ambiance.

Things To Note When Staying At Emin Pasha Hotel

  1. As a branded and award winning boutique hotel, parity of high level of services and upkeep of furnishing can sometimes be inconsistent with advertised levels of quality; though, expected from a Tier 2 deluxe accommodation.
  2. Room and meal prices are on the higher side as there is limited competition in central Kampala for a smaller boutique accommodation.
  3. With just 20 rooms, business and leisure guests looking to stay at the hotel should book their rooms well in advance i.e. 12 to 18 months prior to arrival during the peak season.
  4. The hotel facilitates garden conferences and weddings, guests might find that the hotel becomes noisy during such events. There is also live musical entertainment after dinner on some nights.
  5. For guests wanting more rooming space and a bath, we recommend booking the Garden Suite if you prefer ground views and access or the high Superior Suite for upper level views.
