Beautiful clean room. Comfortable bed and pillows. Delicious buffet breakfast with real coffee included! Hotels.com website mentioned a playground for kids but there wasn’t one… although they did have a Bouncing Castle on the Saturday which my son loved. The pool and pool area is lovely. The hot stone massage was awesome!! Loved it. Overall, a fabulous stay and we will definitely be back.

Good clean property. Big rooms. But the area is poor. No shops or restaurant around. Unsafe to walk around. the arena mall is too far about 20 minutes away by walk. It looks close but it is not.

10/10 Exceptional

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Menstil Hotel in Kampala, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. Right from the outset, the hotel exuded a warmth and sophistication that immediately made me feel at home. The rooms were spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the modern amenities one could hope for. The staff at Menstil deserves a special mention. Every individual I interacted with was professional, courteous, and genuinely keen on ensuring my comfort. Whether it was the concierge recommending local attractions or the housekeeping team ensuring my room was spotless, the service was consistently top-notch. Dining at the hotel was a treat. The menu showcased a delightful blend of local Ugandan delicacies and international favorites, each dish prepared to perfection and presented with flair. Its location in Kampala made it convenient to explore the city, with many of the major attractions and business hubs just a short drive away. In conclusion, Menstil Hotel stands out as a beacon of hospitality in Kampala. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, this establishment promises an unforgettable stay. I eagerly look forward to my next visit.

6/10 Good

Checkin is 2-3pm, not 11am as per Expedia. Too conservative on resources, water dispensers are switched off, a/c is off in some rooms like gym, bathrooms didn’t smell good or fresh, etc Price was decent though considering alternatives.
