Masindi Hotel

Masindi Hotel

📍 22-34 To Butiaba Road, Masindi
★★★ 8.9 (32 reviews)

"During a recent business trip with my company Safari Lux Travel accompanied by photographer partner Tom, we were warmly welcomed by Opio at the historic Masindi Hotel in Uganda. To our surprise, we even caught a glimpse of the Queen Mother of Bunyoro during our stay. Opio, a passionate storyteller with a deep knowledge of the Bunyoro Kingdom’s rich history, immediately began sharing tales of King Kabalega, the British colonial era, Hemingway, and the filming of The African Queen. The Masindi Hotel has hosted great kings, queens, and adventurers—and the walls seem to echo with their stories. We specifically requested Room 8, famously known as the Hemingway Room. This was where Ernest Hemingway recuperated after surviving two plane crashes in the African bush in 1954. Bruised, burned, and mistakenly declared dead, Hemingway emerged days later—alive, battered, and reportedly celebrating with gin and champagne. He spent time here healing, reflecting, and writing. As I sat at the same reading table where he once crafted his legendary prose, I felt his presence. I was reminded of two profound truths: great stories often arise from what didn’t go as planned—and every setback, no matter how dramatic, might become part of the greater narrative we’re meant to tell. If you want to be part of a great chapter of history, I encourage you to stay at Masindi Hotel. The staff are friendly and professional, the atmosphere is rich with heritage, and the dining was a pleasant surprise—we enjoyed a Chinese dinner, and it was great to see such a diverse menu."

★★★ 6.4 (5 reviews)

"Last minute booking after we were let down by another local hotel. The room was basic but spacious and clean. Hot water, mosquito nets, pool. Breakfast included. Worked out at just over £10 a person. Dinner was plentiful and hot, roughly £50 for 8 of us including beers. Would recommend for an overnight stay."

Masindi Hotel ★★★
"I enjoyed my stay at the Masindi Hotel. I liked the historical context. The hotel is old fashioned but everything seems to work. The staff were pleasant and helpful, food was good. It can be a little noisy because of the proximity to the main road and our room lacked bedside lights ( always frustrating to have to get up and turn the lights off in a bedroom and then fumble back to bed in the dark) and some hooks to hang towels in the bathroom would be useful. Wifi is slow as it seemed to be all over Uganda."

Petal Palace - Masindi
"I slept in this hotel twice during my stay in Masindi. The room was very clean, quite big with a balcony, equiped with tv and a fan. The comfortable beds have mosquito net. The staff was so kind and helpful. You can pay by card for your stay. There is a Petal Restaurant next to the hotel when you can eat included breakfast even early in the morning or dinner and lunch. The food was good. Possible one of the best acomodation in Masindi."

New Court View Hotel ★★★
"Good location in Masindi although some rooms were noisy. A number of people in our party had water issues and inadequate mosquito nets. We had a triple room with excellent hot water and perfect nets - these rooms also have a small terrace with a table. Worth paying a few $ more for the space and facilities. Food service was slow and food generally disappointing. All the staff were lovely."

Country Inn Masindi ★★★
"The mattress was terrible.... probably overused with a big dent in the middle. The sockets were a trick to maneuver. The restaurant closes very early and the tv channels to watch were non-existent for the night we spent there. But the ambience was quiet all in all"
