Book Lira hotels

The only bad hotel experience we had in Uganda. Upon arrival, the night receptionist could not find trace of our booking (ok, this can happen) but addressed the situation very disrespectfully. First, by suggesting that we may be liars or in the wrong hotel. When the manager joined us and after again long discussion, he called the IT who drove to the hotel, and who acknowledged it was their mistake not ours. Yet, despite this the manager kept us waiting until the IT solved the problem with hotels.com. All together we waited 1h30 before being allowed to check in and of course they offered nothing, not even a beverage, and barely apologized. After that we were assigned a room but it had only 1 person equipment (we were 2). The room had no windows, and was extremely noisy, with hotel staff yelling in the corridor from 7 am. We were also told we had only 1 breakfast included (not 2) and had to insist to the manager so that he gave both of us breakfast, which was by the way below average. Beside that, the room was clean, correctly equipped, shower was good with hot water and good pression (rare in Uganda). But again no windows.. In short, the hotel is a 5/10 but the incompetence of the manager and the staff makes it a 3/10.

We love staying at Lillian Towers. The staff is helpful and the restaurant is high quality and tasty food. They would benefit from a few updates, like their air conditioning units. But, we will always return when we are in Uganda.

This place had very friendly staff and good food. Otherwise a disaster. The shower does not work. the ants were crawling all over the floor and on my bed. I would not stay here again.

The hotel is not up to date to be able to receive payment from Expedia. We arrived and they did not have our booking or payment - despite paying upon booking here. Expedia was helpful to send a refund, but do not book this hotel online. Otherwise, it is a basic place.
