Unsatisfied

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
I I didn't like how a night shift employee checked into my room at 5:30 in the morning while i was at the gym. The employee had no reason to be in my room at that time and he couldn't give me a reason why he was there. Then i call the front desk to report the incident and its the same employee who picked up the phone and assured me that no one was in my room. When the morning supervisor came we reviewed the camera and sure enough that employee was in my room for no apparent reason. I was forced to check out of the hotel prematurely and had to find another secure hotel. I will never go back to that hotel for poor security.

My worse stay in Metrople kampala -feb'2020

Hotel stay was worse -compare to my previous visits. property is old not maintained well -insuffient lighting in wash room /fused bulbs/ dusty rooms / ineffective air condition in room .. etc etc . ANTS were seen around and also a small RAT that was moving about -reported to the reception-on check out. food and facility average - I do not recommend this property to anyone and will never stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very helpful and went out of their way to answer my every request. I think the rooms would be better with carpet rather than bare tile and a pair of house slippers or shoes would make a difference with the bare tiles. Water pressure is good though the shower would do better with a sliding glass door rather than a curtain. The breakfast is good and has nice variety. A little noisy in the morning due to being next to a major road but it is manageable. Overall I would stay here again.

If you have no better place to stay,then book this hotel.very poor ethics in regards to front desk and management. Booked a fully paid stay for 15 days but due to other obligations had to leave in 5 days, with booking company promising to refund my balance. The hotel management RIPPED me off by refusing to honor the request from Expedia. Again if you have no better place to stay and all the many surrounding hotels are full then make this your choice. For me i will never.

Surprised and Embarrassed

Somewhat surprised to assign a lower classified room rather than a pre-booked one. I was more embarrassed because they didn't ask for any comment or understanding on this at the time of check-in. Facility status varies from room to room. Especially, lighting and bathroom drainage are different. Housekeeping time varies with employees. Accommodation costs US$ 75/day, which is not cheap.

Great location, not worth the money

The breakfast is terrible, seems like it was cooked a few days ago as nothing tasted fresh, very few options as well. Hotel staff could be trained in customer service as it seems like none of them wanted to be there. The rooms could also be refurbished.

Comfortable stay

The recent stay at the Metropole Hotel in Kampala was pleasant. The hotel is generally clean and maintained however it is getting a little shabby. On the other hand the staff could not be faulted. Nothing was too much trouble, every request we had was dealt with efficiently and with graciousness. The room was always clean and fresh and the general areas were also clean. Of special mention is Agatha who organised our daily travel - she went above and beyond to ensure we travelled safely, comfortably and efficiently even in the crazy traffic of Kampala. All the drivers were courteous and helpful with one in particular waiting 2 hours when an appointment overrun. If you are looking for somewhere where you feel looked after then I would definitely book at The Metropole.

Ikke helt perfekt. Men acceptabel!

Rengøringen var ikke helt god. Virkede lidt som der ikke helt var styr på rengøringen af rummene. Man kunne godt se at hotellet var gammelt og slidt. Men alt det blev helt og opvejet af et utroligt flink, smilende og meget hjælpsom personale. Så alt i alt 3 1/2 stjerne jeg vill ikke betænke mig på at benytte hotellet igen!
