Answering my own question...
[QUOTE=Premier1]Tell us, does your "knowledge" of Kampala also extend to the areas of hotels, guest houses, etc? It's more than apparent that affordable, quality accommodations are hard to find there and quite possibly, may not even exist. Unless you're traveling on an expense acct, paying $150. 00+ a night is crazy, particularly when factoring in the airfare cost. When you do the math, even if the girls are "free" it's really hard to justify Kampala over other mongering destinations.[/QUOTE]I found that the best hotel option within the city center is the JBK Hotel [url]http://www.jbkhotel. Co. Ug/[/url] (pictured below). It's just up the street (on the opposite side) from the Holiday Express Hotel. It's $50. 00USD for a room with A/C, hot water, cable tv and a fridge. The reception has an actual safe for your valuables and the staff is very friendly and efficient. It's also 100% guest friendly (no chg)!
Cheaper options (from $15. 00USD+) are avail in the area but quality and safety is suspect at best. Btw, forget about the Astoria Hotel (previously mentioned on this site) as it's a complete dump.
I also stayed at the infamous Speke Hotel (also pictured below), but found it too basic for the $138. 00USD price tag.
