Papyrus Guest House

Edward or his Ugandan name tugume and Patrick or Gift are some of the most lovely people I’ve met in Uganda and everybody in Uganda is lovely. The first round of margaritas was fantastic and made by Edward the second round of margaritas, of course was even better cause we were already feeling the first one.lol and it was made by Patrick. Edward was so genuinely happy there didn’t seem to be a bone in his body that wasn’t sincere. The same was true for Patrick. The lodge itself right in the heart of Entebbe where you can come here straight from the airport is still secluded and you feel as though you’re in the jungle.The price of the surprising affordable. I would think they could charge double as the manes activities are really good. I’ve stayed at some very fancy resorts in Uganda as well and I appreciate it the food more at those resorts than I did here. However, it was still quite good I would never give this guest house, anything other than a five star review I hope you have a chance to come and visit.

We were very happy with our stay at Papyrus. The accommodation is simple but comfortable and offers good value for money! The location is very close to the airport, but the guesthouse grounds are very quiet and green, making it feel more remote and peaceful.

The staffs at Papyrus Guest house made us feel at home with their excellent service and a warm welcome. Sam, Fatmah, Paul, Lisa, just but to mention a few were really courteous and welcoming. The ambiance of serenity gives you a heavenly impression. I appreciated using all Ugandan products in the bathroom, the meals were sumptuous and prepared with the touch of an experienced chef. Waking up to the chirping of birds and the silence of my surroundings made me have a relaxed feeling throughout our stay.

This is a lovely tranquil guest house only 15-20 minutes from the airport. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Meals are taken on an outdoor terrace and there’s a lovely seating area in the garden by the bar. Gift looked after us during our stay. The service he provided was excellent.

We visited Uganda for a 10-day tour, and stayed at Papyrus twice, once at the start and once at the end of our time there. We felt it to be very average, with some positive qualities (very friendly service personnel) as well as some negative aspects (A/C not working, showers of very low pressure and swinging hot to cold and back again), stairs to upstairs room hazardous and in need of repair. We won't stay there again.

The guesthouse offered several quiet rooms close to yet far from the bustle of the town. A walk-in shower with hot water and fragrant toiletries, mosquito nets, and comfy beds made a good night's rest. The all inclusive offered meal choices. The pumpkin soup started dinner. My talapia was grilled to perfection with potatoes and grilled veggies. The tender pork chop topped off our meal. Gift provided impeccable table service for dinner and breakfast, with 4 choices, no buffets. Several dining areas are available in three small outdoor settings. Tony jumped to carry our luggage from and back to our vehicle with perfect timing. This safe place provides a quiet night's rest.
