Gately Inn Entebbe

Very warm and welcoming service. Delicious filling breakfasts (prepared even at 5 a.m. for early departure!). The property is mostly in shadow of several large trees, decorated with uniquely-looking metalwork sculptures. The furniture in the room also feels authentic: bedframes made of thick hardwood, bedside tables use giant tree cross-sections as tabletops. Although there was a safe in our room, we did not use it. The lighting in the room is rather dim, and the windows lack net curtains during daylight (for privacy), but these points were not significant for us. Also the electric sockets were only in one place - near the table with a single chair, although there were two of us. The hotel is located in between two busy roads, so car horn sounds may be a little bothersome during the first night, but you get used quickly. Although the hotel is located basically on the airport highway, a lot of our taxi drivers had difficulties finding it (maybe we were just unlucky). There is also a dog and a cat on the territory, and this, again, proves how nice and genuine the staff here is :)

Shockingly run down. FORGET sleep. The motorway means NO quiet rooms. Chef has checked out. BUT AT LEAST the bedding is clean.

A Nice, Quiet, Comfortable Stay..in an older place Gately is a quaint hotel that is always enjoyable. The staff are courteous, professional and attentive but not annoying. The facility itself is a bit nostalgic and unique, and along with that comes aging plumbing and electrical supply problems. You will enjoy Gately, particularly the staff, but expect a bit older amenities.

There was confusion with the ******* description that said there was full board in one place, which was not true.

Good hotel, the staff can advise you on how to get into Kampala on a local express minibus at a tenth the price of a taxi, Very good breakfast, it's in a quiet safe area, the hotel and the breakfast. You can get Uganda SIM card closeby,eat a Rolex.

This is an old style hotel with plenty of character. Comfortable bed and rooms with ensuite and really interesting decorations and artefacts. Good shower and a fan - important in hot weather. Good mosquito nets. A beautiful garden - though to be avoided at night because of insects. Great granola for breakfast and a good choice. Also a good chicken dish. Wi fi was reliable
