I had a mix of experiences during my stay at the African Tribe Hotel. The location in Kabalagala is fantastic, but the service left much to be desired. I faced issues with my check-in, and it seemed like the staff wasn't eager to help resolve my concerns.

My stay at the African Tribe Hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the location in Kabalagala is ideal for exploring Kampala. yet the service left much to be desired. The room I was in was spacious and comfortable, but it felt like it needed some refurbishment regarding maintenance. Overall, while there were some highlights, there were also significant drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at the African Tribe Hotel. While the location was convenient and the hotel itself is quite beautiful, I faced some significant issues with my booking and the overall service quality. The room I received did not match what I had reserved, and the staff's handling of the situation left much to be desired.
Rooms

The room I booked was supposed to be a spacious double room, but I got a cramped single cubicle instead. The bathroom door hardly opened due to the bed placement. Not what I expected.
Service

Service was inconsistent, to say the least. The staff was rude at check-in, claiming the issue with my booking wasn't their responsibility, and one receptionist even cursed at me when I tried to pay with a card.
Location

While the hotel dining could have been better, I did enjoy a few meals that were mouthwatering. However, I had trouble getting receipts for my restaurant bills, which was frustrating.
Facilities

The hotel has beautiful features, but there are definitely areas that need refurbishment. I found the ground floor rooms a bit stuffy and the bedding wasn't changed during my stay.
