No.5 Boutique Hotel

No.5 is a small hotel in a residential part of Entebbe, set in a garden with a swimming pool. There are two room types: twin rooms on the ground floor and double rooms on the second floor. Both open onto the garden and pool through a small outside sitting area, and both have en-suite bathrooms with showers, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen television, a guest safe, a direct-dial telephone, filter coffee, and mosquito nets over the beds.

The hotel has a restaurant, and the kitchen works to planned menus paired with an international wine list — notable in a town where considered wine service is not the norm. There is also a spa, a gym, and a laundry service. Parking is secure on site, and the hotel runs an airport shuttle, which matters: Entebbe International Airport is the entry point for most travellers heading into Uganda, and having a transfer arranged from the hotel simplifies an arrival.

For guests with time in Entebbe before or after a longer journey, the area offers bird watching, wildlife tours, cultural tours, and catch-and-release fishing — all available as off-site activities. Room service runs to the rooms.
