Hotels Near Virat Alloys Ltd in Kampala

I stayed at Mestil for 6 weeks and it was an amazing experience. I thought I was getting an apartment, rather I got a community of wonderful people - a family of caring and selfless people. I remember one day I was late for lunch and I was really hungry such that my vision was getting impaired. I rushed to the restaurant and lunch had just closed. There was no food. Rather than turn me back, Sharon Bii, one of the hotel staff, called me back and handed me a pack of food that was meant to be for her. I insisted that I couldn't take it from her, but apparently she insisted more than me. I really felt cared for. Others including Cedric, Prisca and way too many others to mention went above and beyond to ensure my stay there was worthwhile. I high recommend Mestil if you like excellent service and a community of staff who are like family. One day I did not go for breakfast and they reached out to my room to be sure all was well. Other hotels will be thankful you did not show up. Thanks to you all. I really enjoyed my stay.

Having had alight meal, we were ready to go, requested for the bill, after the bill was brought, we requested to confirm which type of payment to make. We were advised that we could pay by credit card, cash or mobile money. We requested to make payment using mobile money and they accepted. The payment number was confirmed and the name of the recipient. It was then that we initiated payment to the said number and payment was made in direct transfer and the waiter was witness to this. Despite having completed the payment with a payment confirmation, we were denied exit with reasons that payment hadn't been received. Gates were forcefully locked by untrained junior staff an act which got us terrified. We spoke to Chinese management who pretended not to know about the Ugandan mobile money payment systems. They started being abusive inclusive of their junior staff. But the payment was clearly showing cash had been transferred to a *MIN FANG*. This happened on 7th March 2020, Saturday evening at around 11:30pm. We believe this was a trick to try get us to make additional payment. It's not until we mentioned that we would put this incident on trip advisor that they opened the gates. It was a terrible experience after a good meal. Be aware of such tricks.

The hotel is very international and the service is very good, very nice.

A hotel with a story. The whole hotel is clean and comfortable, and there are not many people. The breakfast is very attentive and I like it very much.

The food is so good, the Chinese food is great, and the breakfast is good. It is much better than what I had in Shanghai. I miss it very much when I arrive in Tanzania. I really want to go back to Uganda. The chef of this restaurant is the best I have eaten in Africa. Recommend

The hotel is well located in Kampala and easily accessible. It is a standard quality hotel with very polite receptionists and waitresses. It has a Wi-Fi with a good speed. Breakfast has a range of options and can accommodate the needs of all customers. Pleased to stay here.

As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and happy staying here! They offered a great price for laundry, all the staff were so nice and helpful, the breakfast buffet was amazing, and the rooms were so clean! Also, it's incredible that the restaurant offers vegan and organic options. Moreover, I love that there is a wine shop on the premises and a local shop offering African-made products! The only two drawbacks that I will mention is that I had to ask for coffee every morning at breakfast. This would often take 15-20 minutes to serve and I was surprised that coffee wasn't already offered. Also, every morning they started sweeping just outside of the rooms. I could hear this loud broom along the floor at 7:30 am so if you like to sleep in then you need to either bring ear plugs or stay at a different hotel. For some reason, the sweeping was so loud and I was woken up every morning (even with earplugs).

Yesterday 9th I visited my favourite restaurant again with my friend n we wea attended to by Victoria who suggested we should try ur buffet this time and guess what I love every bite,thanks to d management and staffs as well coz whenever I crave for great service I look no further than four points

There were many other hotels we could have chosen to stay in Kampala but having had such a great experience 4 months ago, we decided to return to the Protea Hotel by Marriott in Kampala. Joan and Charlotte were very good at checking us in quickly. Thank you so much as we were very tired having travelled nearly 20 hours by plane! Maurice, Noah and Rehema were excellent with their customer service by ensuring my mother and I had everything needed for a nice evening. Our room did not have a mini fridge so Maurice suggested he will go and check for a spare one. Maurice brought us one, given the fact that the hotel was almost full. Noah, thank you for all your help in making the tasks I needed completing easier and quick. Maurice, Noah and Rehema thank you for your great hospitality. You were all so kind. Jasper, Sampson and Issac looked after us when we were having diner in our room and made sure we had what we needed by being so quick with their service. They had to run to the kitchen back and forth and were very efficient although they were all very busy that night. In the morning, the breakfast buffet was great with a big variety of food choices. The chef on the night duty made some Poha upon our request, thank you for doing that for us. The Poha was delicious and so were the Indian pakoras. Chef Godfrey made beautiful omelettes as we wanted and went beyond his time to fulfil my mother's need with the chillies. Derrick made us teas the way we liked and the teas were perfect. Cissy and Aisha thank you for your kindness and service. Sharon it was lovely to see you and wish you all the best. The buffet was a mixture of continental and cooked breakfast with a couple of ”chef's speciality of the day” which were delicious! Well worth the money. Samuel, thank you for your speedy checkout and your advice. Thank you all again for your kindness and making another stay wonderful. We will miss you all but promise to return again in the near future. Each one of you have contributed to another great stay and made it even more special, you were all very friendly, courteous and very accommodating. The quality of each of you was very impressive. With regards to the hotel, it was great to see some improvements to the room. The bed was very comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud :) The room was very clean, spacious and the new decor was superb. However the shower gel needs to be changed back to the old style one as the new gel is so runny like water and not soapy at all! Also, the WiFi was a bit slow this time and got cut a few times. Still giving 5 out of 5 stars as each member of the staff were amazing and professional with their duties. Can not wait to see the refurbished version of the hotel in months to come :)
