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.

I just got back from visiting Uganda and stayed with the Papyrus Guest House which was wonderful and just a 15 minute drive from Entebbe Airport - so convenient!! The staff are so personable and friendly, the food AMAZING (and they give you plenty of it), the property lovely and our rooms clean. I would recommend anyone to stay at this lovely lodge house. We had such a Great time and definitely will be coming back. Thank you to Matt, Florence, Pious, Lyneete and all the lovely friendly staff - we had a great time. : ))

This property is beautifully set within gardens and trees which makes you feel removed from the city. It’s a short distance from the airport, so it’s my place of rest before and after flights. There staff are friendly and extremely helpful with planning excursions. I highly recommend it.
