The restaurant Revive is the high and acts as the lobby mainly because the internet service is so poor in the ooms and garden. I am told they are fixing it, but seriously 2036, it should have been modernized 4 years ago.
The rooms need attention.the tile floors need to be polished.
They advertise desk in room but it is shelf not a work height with no powerpoint. So it is Not a desk.
Did not get daily room service as advertised, maybe i had to ask.
Lastly the shower head did not fit in the overhead holder. So it had to be used with one hand
Despite above it is a very pleasant, reasonably priced well located hotel in Kololo. I hope they put attention to rooms as they the restaurant.

Tranquil garden delight in the middle of Kampala

The staff are super friendly. Restaurant was nice and food was delicious. Bed mattress is foam, not spring. The lighting in the room is very bright. Some bedside lamps would be really helpful.
The garden areas make for a really tranquil setting.
Overall, a fantastic stay. Thank you so much!

The service at the restaurant was not the best other than the gentleman at the barista. However, the service at the reception from Stella and a dark gentleman was good.

The slippers in the rooms need to be cleaned.

Best value in the middle of Everything!

The EH is a fantastic value. Room was excellent- very clean, air cond was great, hot shower. The facilities - restaurant, gym, store in premises at Lee great. The best part, this hotel is smack in the middle of everything without the busy aspect found across most places in Kampala. If I go to Kampala again, definitely will stay there.

Hotel was nice, the only problem I see is that when you make a reservation you dont get to see how small the room is :/, so make sure you get the up grade, which we did once we were there of course by paying more but the room was bog, spacious, with air conditioning.

Good, but tiny rooms

The area is great. Nearby are the best (and most expensive) restaurants and nightclubs. The hotel seems to have bee recently refurbished, which makes it surprising that there are no air-conditioners, so avoid in the hot season. The room fan is very noisy. The rooms are absolutely tiny and not like the photo on the site.

Good location, reasonable price.

We were there for business and the location was good for having people come by for a meeting.
Well cared for and making improvements. There is a nightclub next door and on the weekend the party goes to 2 am. Hotel management is building buffers to keep the noise away. I slept with earplugs and the nightclub didn’t bother me.

It is a nice hotel with various room types, small balconies and very nice open area for breakfast, to work on the computer or hang out.

Our Stay at the Explorers Hub

This is a reasonably good budget hotel in an excellent location, the rooms are small and basic but clean. We tried several rooms before we found one that suited us and each had a small problem, in the final room the shower water did not run away and the water pressure and balancing was not great. There are no mosquito nets and I got bit a lot until we requested that the room was spayed every day after cleaning and the windows and doors left shut. The big problem is noise there is club close and it goes on most of the night I did not get used to it. The breakfast was basic but satisfactory. The staff were friendly but mostly untrained and accounting for drinks at the bar was a bit disorganised. Although this was a B&B the owners have restaurants nearby and will order food in for you which is convenient. Generally if your on a budget this is an OK place, but I would not go back.

Amazing Hotel, Great Location

What a special place, in a great location. If you're looking to experience Kampala, but be slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the city center, then look no further. The Explorers Hub (formally Explorers Inn) is amazing. Great staff, beautiful rooms, and a great breakfast option. It was walkable to some great restaurants, and even nighttime establishments. The only downside is that there is a club next-door, and on Friday night, the music was very loud until nearly 3am. But my room was closest to this venue.

The bathrooms were newer, and hot water was plentiful. All future trips to Kampala will include this hotel.

We were welcomed by friendly staff. Room was clean and had a balcony overlooking the car park (not as bad as it sounds!). Shower was very hot, but then cooled to luke warm by the end of it. Foam mattress was very firm but we slept well. Well-presented room. Breakfast was disappointing; tea was warm milk with a tea bag in, sausages were not very tasty and the choice of juice turned out to be a choice between the 2 glasses they bought us which were watermelon and pineapple and banana, both were not very nice.

I’m very happy about my stay at Explorers Hub. The hotel was clean, central located, safe and affordable, as well as the staff is helpful and very friendly! I enjoyed a nice breakfast at the terasse every morning with both good coffee, fruits, eggs and WiFi! I will definitely stay there the next time I’m in Kampala! Thank you!

Et godt valg sentralt i Kampala

Tilbragte en uke på Explorers Hub. Et bra hotell sentralt plassert i Kampala. Renslig. God sikkerhet og bra med parkeringsplasser. Wifi. Bra frokost med frukt, juice, kaffe, egg og bacon. TV kanaler litt begrenset (de jeg liker), men ikke avgjørende. Vennlig betjening. For de som ikke liker støy om natten - et diskotek like i nærheten som bråker en del, spesielt på helgene. Spesielt for rom som vender mot stedet. Ta med ørepropper. Hotelleieren er i samtale med diskoteket ang. støyreduserende tiltak. Oppsummert: et godt valg, spesielt for forretningsreisende.
