We arrived late (9PM) and while the person who checked us in was pleasant the person that helped us to our room and arranged for the room service was hostile and unpleasant. We ordered a margarita pizza which took over 2 hours to arrive and had mystery meat and vegetables all over it and looked like it was made with Velveeta cheese. The floors were tiled so the hotel was extremely noisy - you could hear everything and there was a window over the door that ensured the hallway light never allowed our room to be dark. There was loud music (and a party?) at the bar directly outside our room that went on until 11PM at night. There were lake flies (which we learned later are common) on the beds but this was cleaner than other hotels in the area. We had to ask for toilet paper and towels but there were two showers in the bathroom and the toilet was on a pedestal. The provided breakfast was inedible and small. Skip this place for one of the nicer ones (with not as nice a location) near by.

Stayed at the hotel for four nights, and was well looked after by wonderful staff, Hotel does not have a safe in the room or at reception. Breakfast is very good and the meals on the menu is very good. The restaurant and bar is opened 24 hours. There is a lovely sitting area by the lake but is losing it to a flooded lake. A nice place to sit and enjoy the lake is on the veranda. The staff are wonderful, friendly and helpful. A big thanks to Hedrin, Lawrence and Owen, Due to the Corona virus my holiday had to end abruptly. Hedrin was a big help with assisting me to get an early flight home.

I arrived from Amsterdam late in the evening and the hotel provided a driver to meet me at customs.
The room was good with a hot shower that I needed after a 36 hour flight. The next morning they had a delicious breakfast and then I was off to the airport for my next two flights to Congo.
The staff was attentive and friendly. I would like to return again and see Lake Victoria in the daylight!! Thank you.

In 2018 I had started this review: I arrived from Amsterdam late in the evening and the hotel provided a driver to meet me at customs.
The room was good with a hot shower that I needed after a 36 hour flight. The next morning they had a delicious breakfast and then I was off to the airport for my next two flights to Congo.
The staff was attentive and friendly. I would like to return again and see Lake Victoria in the daylight!! Thank you.
But then in 2019 I came back with my wife and it was much different and worse. To start, as we drove to the hotel, two men carrying rifles were running down the street as if they were chasing someone. When we got to the hotel, we were told that they did not have a room in the regular hotel, and that they were taking us to their sister hotel down the street. What a disaster. The sister hotel was essentially empty. We were certainly the only guests. And they took us up to the fifth floor, by stairs with our luggage. For who know why. The room was dirty, the bed as hard as a concrete slab, the hot water didn't work and they recommended that we keep our outside windows shut. It was a sauna indoors. The next AM they took us back to the original hotel for breakfast. It looked like there had been a keg party on the lawn with beer bottles scattered all over. But at the same time, at 7AM, there was no-one in the lobby. Just us. So if this place was full the night before, the guest either all left or they were all sleeping off their drunks. The meal severed was adequate, but nothing spectacular. We were taken to the airport for our next flight and the pickup and drop off by the driver was the highlight of the stay.

Most of the rooms have undergone some form of recent renovation / revision and are comfortable.
If you are thinking of ordering food, please be patient, its not a fast food joint.
The grilled fish is an excellent choice, either whole or fillets.
May your stay be an enjoyable one!

I needed some me time, wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, ended up at Sienna Beach Hotel and I must say, I was blown away. The view is breathtaking, the freshness of the lake was divine, service was on point and the price was unbelievably low. I had my money's worth that's for sure.

This is the ideal location to recover from, or prepare for a long flight. Immaculately clean, well provisioned rooms on Lake Victoria, right next to the Botanical Gardens. Safe for jogging and stretching your legs in the area. Prices are reasonable. Excellent Thai restaurant in the vicinity. Super comfortable beds.

This is definitely not a luxury hotel, but I've come at least three times for business meetings and stayed 3-5 days, and always been very satisfied and impressed. I can't recommend it enough. I've stayed at a lot of budget/midrange hotels in Uganda and this is the only one where I've felt consistently taken care of, rooms are pleasant and clean as are the shared sitting areas, and the meeting rooms were perfect and their catering service around our conference worked seamlessly. It's definitely not perfect, but I've never had a major issue and at anywhere in this price range it's unmatched in my experience. It's a fantastic value.The facilities are basic, but pleasant and clean, and the service is excellent. Food was delivered timely whenever we organized it in advance for a group meal. Staff were very available and communicated well.
I loved having views of the lake constantly, and at the same time being very close to the airport. Fantastic location from that perspective. It's also easy walking distance to other lakeside restaurants. Their airport pick up service worked well for us.
The only downsides I've experience there are noise from the music sometimes playing loudly on the lawn, and some of the rooms have kitchen noise around mealtimes.
One thing I like about it but I don't know how real this is or just luck, but personally I frequently get ill from food I eat when I travel in Uganda (I'm from the US) but I've noticed I"ve never been ill the days I've been staying and eating at the Sienna. My impression is they have good food prep training and practices.
One note- This is common in the area, but if you aren't familiar, you'll need to give them your key on days you want your room cleaned.
