THE BEST HOTEL IN ENTEBBE

Hotel No. 5

$$ | 5 Edna Rd., Entebbe, Uganda
Fodor's Choice

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

Entebbe's only luxury boutique hotel provides impeccable attention to detail in an intimate setting. Stylish apartments and rooms feature private balconies overlooking well-tended tropical gardens and a tiled swimming pool. 24-hour room service, air-conditioning, satellite TV, reliable Wi-Fi, a safe, and a hairdryer, cater for every whim. Original artworks, a cocktail bar, and a carefully curated international wine list add pizzazz to the hotel's fine dining experience: Perch ceviche, vanilla bean panna cotta and breakfast cocktails such as Bloody Mary bucks fizz are a delight. An in-house spa and curated gift shop provide every reason to linger on a stopover between flights to Uganda’s National Parks. Single-use plastic has been replaced by filtered water in elegant glass jugs—how refreshing!

Pros

  • Vegetarians and gluten-free diets well catered to
  • Highly trained staff
  • Their Cinque Restaurant serves authentic Italian pizzas and homemade ravioli

Cons

  • In a class of its own, thus early booking essential
  • Gym is small
  • Airport transfers charged extra

Protea Hotel Entebbe

$$ | 36–40 Sebugwawo Dr., Entebbe, Uganda

Part of the Marriott chain, Protea Hotel Entebbe offers a convenient base just minutes from the airport. Despite its proximity to the runways, the hotel enjoys a serene lakeside setting with a private stretch of white sand overlooking Lake Victoria. Guests appreciate the tranquility, though the décor in standard rooms feels somewhat uninspired. The hotel’s best feature is its lakeside terrace with panoramic water views—just beware of the occasional evening swarms of (harmless) lake flies. Leisure facilities include a lakefront swimming pool, spa, massage services, and bike rentals. The hotel has 24-hour front desk service and a free airport shuttle (unless it's a big group, in which case US$5 per person). Twin-bedded standard rooms face the airport; deluxe rooms have a double bed, private balcony, and lake view.

Pros

  • Super-convenient for the airport
  • Beautiful beach location
  • International brand

Cons

  • Service can be slow
  • Spa needs renovating
  • Food gets mixed reviews
