Where to stay in Kampala

The hotel may not have been the best, but the structure of its floors was fascinating. So was the food. After all, this is where I fell for the Ugandan pineapples! 
I adored the swimming pool and the view over Kampala, beautiful both at sunset and at sunrise!

Great big rooms; very comfortable.
"If you like space, you'll love these big rooms! We were picking up supplies for our village school and the staff were fantastic. They went out of their way to assist us. Even storing some small furniture and boxes for us until our truck arrived. They were really great."

It was overwhelming and did not feel completely safe. We relied on uber cars for transportation most of the time. There is a cute restaurant/club just down the street which has excellent pizza (called Cayenne) which you can walk to from Kabira).

I love and hate Kampala. It is a great place full of great people and way too many cars. Moving from one side of town to another has become untenable due to traffic issues. But if you can time it well and/or stick to one area ... it can work
