Koki Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service , but restaurant Manu items and quality of food needs improvement."

Mestil Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The value for money that you get at Mestil (especially at Expedia's discounted rates) is just incredible. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The rooms are amazing, more like an apartment than a hotel! The environment is just heavenly and the food is very good. Since the lunch/dinner buffet's are a bit expensive (by local standards) you can save money by ordering food delivered on Glovo or cooking for yourself in your room since I think most rooms have a kitchen, which is amazing for extended stays. The pool is very well kept and beautiful but a bit small, 10-15 people maximum to really feel comfortable. Overall I can't recommend Mestil enough. I'll be back again and again for sure. I came with my wife and our two year old daughter. I do wish that there was a playground for kids but the pool was enough for us!"

During the dry months, you'll experience less rainfall and more sunshine, making it ideal for walking around the Makerere University campus, visiting the local markets, and enjoying outdoor cafes. This also means the roads, particularly those off the main tarmac, are generally in better condition, making travel smoother.

For academics or those interested in the university's activities, attending during the university's term time, particularly in the drier months, allows for a more vibrant campus experience. You'll find more students about, lectures in session, and various university events taking place.
