Enjoyed the beautiful greenery. The rooms had a view and were quite spacious. Getting to the hotel was wonderful because it was late and they greeted me with juice. Laundry was included which was a bonus. Food could be more flavourful

Great service, very nice people, a beautiful place, comfy bed with mosquito nets, and a really great breakfast with each morning included. Dinner costs but I tried it once and it was good as well. Dinner runs about $20-30. Free shuttle from the airport on arrival but be aware that it is normally $20 for a ride back to the airport. Will stay here again!

A convenient guesthouse, just 15 mins from the airport, with a tranquil setting in a lush garden. Staff were very friendly and the deluxe room was good, but overpriced for the basic facilities available. The food was ok, though a little underwhelming.

In a display of true Ugandan hospitality, this property exceeded my every expectation! My only complaint was that I couldn't stay longer! The food is exceptional, its quality rivaled only by the quality of the customer service! The property was immaculately clean and ready to make your stay outstanding! I hope to stay again because it is rare you find a place like this!

We enjoyed our one night stay here. It was very, very quiet. We must have caught them at a quiet time as we did not see anyone else staying here. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The dining area was beautiful. They have a large deck to sit and enjoy your meals. The gardens are beautiful! The monkeys in the trees were fun to watch. The staff were helpful and kind.

We loved the Papyrus Guest House. The staff was super friendly and the dinner we had was excellent. There is a nice bar area to hang out at. The rooms were clean and safe but there was no air conditioning so it got a little warm for us. We felt safe while we were at the property. We did not seek to go out off the property for anything so we can't comment on that. Great value for the money.

Bad airport experience but a good night at Papyrus

Papyrus Guesthouse made my girls and my son's stay welcoming and warm. After a mix up at the airport the family were tired and hungry. The staff was very kind to let them check in so late and still feed them. I appreciate them being attentive and kind and the rooms are beautiful. I highly recommend them.

My Irish cousins and I began our trip to Uganda by relaxing at the Papyrus Guest House for a few days. It was a perfect base as we shopped for our stay at a school four hours from Kampala.
