4/5 Prof. Dr. Wolfgang H T. 4 months ago on Google
I
occasionally
take
time
for
a
weekend
staycation
somewhere
in
Kampala
and
this
time
my
choice
was
the
Emin
Pasha
Hotel
and
Spa.
TripAdvisor
continues
to
offer
no
'Good'
option
between
'Average'
and
'Very
Good'
which
is
sad
as
it
does
not
let
a
reviewer
give
a
thumbs
up
to
a
good
impression,
when
'Average'
is
too
little
but
'Very
Good'
too
much.
(This
is
to
explain
my
marking,
meaning
I
would
have
loved
to
give
a
'Good'
mark
were
it
not
for
TripAdvisors
lack
of
procative
response
and
ignoring
dozens
of
my
comments
to
them)
Check
in
was
courteous,
professional
and
swift,
with
my
booking
information
well
reflected
on
the
check
in
form
and
after
presenting
an
ID
and
signing
it
I
was
shown
immediately
to
my
room.
It
turned
out
that
I
was
given
a
room
in
the
original
wing
of
the
hotel
where
I
had
stayed
before
too,
but
since
then
two
more
wings
have
been
added,
the
most
recent
one
only
opened
about
a
month
ago
with
16
rooms
and
two
one
bedroom
apartments.
I
had
stayed
before,
a
long
time
ago,
and
memories
came
back
when
I
stood
on
the
balcony
looking
down
into
the
well
manicured
garden
and
admired
the
trees
which
over
the
past
20
years
have
matured
very
well.
I
checked
out
the
bed
on
arrival
in
the
room,
which
proved
to
be
very
comfortable,
a
really
good
mattress
with
a
mattress
top
cover
making
it
even
more
comfy
to
sleep
on
and
two
each
softer
and
two
harder
pillows
to
allow
for
the
right
combination
when
sleeping.
A
sofa
set
invites
to
sit
down
and
read
a
bit
and
I
did
enjoy
a
cup
of
tea
before
venturing
out.
Coffee
and
tea
making
facilities
are
there,
including
a
kettle
but
the
mini
fridge
is
empty
unless
a
guest
requires
it
to
be
stocked
with
drinks
of
his
or
her
choice.
Two
mineral
water
bottles
are
also
available,
restocked
every
day,
for
guests
free
of
charge.
The
bathroom
and
WC
were
in
seperate
cabins
off
the
main
bedroom
and
a
claw
foot
stand
alone
tub
invited
for
a
hot
bath.
A
vanity
kit
is
available,
such
as
a
tooth
brush
set,
shampoo
and
body
lotion,
enough
to
get
a
guest
going
if
she
or
he
forgot
such
essentials
at
home.
The
hotel
offered
me
a
relaxing
atmosphere
which
was
exactly
what
I
was
looking
for
and
I
spent
some
time
outside
in
the
garden,
as
well
as
on
my
balcony,
having
a
drink
before
getting
ready
for
dinner.
Dinner
service
saw
first
a
drink
order
taken
before
then
taking
the
meal
choice,
which
one
night
was
Fillet
of
Tilapia
and
the
other
night
a
Fillet
Steak.
The
presentation
of
both
dishes,
as
well
as
of
the
starters,
was
certainly
creative
and
above
average,
and
accordingly
much
appreciated!
As
starter
I
opted
for
the
fish
cakes,
crisp,
tasty
and
setting
the
mood
for
the
main
course.
The
Emin
Pasha
remains
an
oasis
of
peace
and
tranquility
in
the
bustling
Nakasero
suburb
of
Kampala
and
especially
the
extensive
garden
offers
quiet
corners
to
sit
down,
read
a
book
or
just
take
in
the
sound
of
birds.
With
the
added
18
rooms
the
hotel
is
now
able
to
accommodate
larger
groups
and
more
clients
which
will
no
doubt
benefit
their
business.
Overall
a
good
choice
for
a
weekend
staycation
and
I
am
sure
to
go
back
to
try
out
the
new
rooms
or
perhaps
even
one
of
the
apartments.
