“Is it as good as it looks?”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 13, 2012

Husband and I stayed 4 days. In fairness they are doing major refurbishment, so a lotta banging during the day. Replacing old windows.
The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms need a good scrub, I had to keep asking for - towels,shampoo, more than one teabag please, sugar etc. The telephone in the room needed sterilising yuk. There is a fridge with bottled water and good A/C
We were the road side so pretty noisy, pool sides good, beautiful swimming pool and surround.
The staff need training they do not listen to your order. I drink tea and was given coffee in a teapot.All the spouts were broken on the tip good harbour for buggies.
Samosas, lunch time I had to pour out the fat, nachos were like a bit of leather with cheese on top.
The evening Indian meal. Chicken Korma tasted like it was cooked in old fish oil.

Good gym and squash courts

If you choose this place then make sure you get a good reduction. At the moment it's overpriced




Ok, we ate Indian food in the evening, my husband stays here with his company, so he recommended the chicken. It tasted like it was cooked in old fish fat, no more to say. The rice was good.

Breakfast is a good buffet. Lunch time don't go for snacks. Nachos were like old boots and my samosas I had to pour out the fat on a tissue.

There are good squash court and gym facilities.

The hotel driver Luley Edwards took me out while husband was at work. He was very safe and courteous, what a lovely man.

The first impression of The Kabira are lovely, especially the owners Bently convertible parked outside, I noticed it was pretty clean in that!

If you are not too fussy then stay here, but get them to reduce the price because they are deffinately over charging.



The place is gorgeous to look at green and a lovely ambience, but don't look too close.


I do hope they get on with the refurb and staff/cook improvement.

Room Tip: The poolside away from the road. Also the roadside upper floors smell of greasy food.

“Kabira Country Club a waning Star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

In all the times i have visited Kampala since 2008 I have stayed at the Kabira Country Club. My first impressions then were relatively positive since I had limited travelled experience in East Africa and some of these experiences were not great...in terms of hotels.

The Kabira is a lovely hotel with good gym facilities and nice restaurant and awesome 30m swimming pool.

What I have witness however is that over the years there seems to be a slow decline in the overall impression I have of the hotel. While the hotel is still great compared to others I have been in little things start to catch your attention...like basins that don't drain, showers that don't work, poor or non-existent water pressure and wireless internet that does not work in the rooms and only at the bar (I know that wireless internet can be quite tempermental in Kampala).

Nevertheless It still is a good hotel.

“Not the best”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

From the outside, not to bad, nice gym, pool,
However, bar and restaurant very dark at night, not enough light, can barely see what you are eating.
Noisy, if you get the rooms on street & generator side.
No cctv cameras in passages, no electronic keylocks on doors. Expensive electronic equipment stolen from room whilst at supper. Was out of the room for 1 1/2 hours.
Hotel has not bothered to return emails nor calls in regards to the matter.
Hotel owners park all their personal cars out in front, Bentley convertibles, Range rovers, Mustangs, Mercs, a very nice collection, all family run with personalised registrations, SR, SR 1,JR, JR 1 etc etc,
Will never stay there again.
