This hotel is, at present, the best in the area. The other hotel is Mbale resort hotel. It has was refurbished/rebuilt 2 years ago but they still haven't an oven for the kitchen. So, for now, Mount Elgon Hotel is the place to stay. The rooms are big enough and clean. There is no safe, balcony or fridge but the... More

We just finished our climb and descent of Mt. Elgon and didn't feel the need to stay at the Sipi Falls Lodge so we jumped in a mini-van and headed for Mbale.

I enjoyed my stay during November, the staff are very friendly and a special mention to Anne for her smile. Lattes are good, however be prepared to wait from 5 to 15 minutes, views are great and the pools not too bad. More

Mount Elgon hotel is surely the best hotel to stay in Mbale. That's why it is sometimes difficult to find a room there. The rooms are great, completely renovated in recent years, new bathrooms, etc. The restaurant has an Italian touch, including a nice wine list, and they serve great coffee in the bar. They were building a swimming pool... More
