Villa Kololo

Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, very helpful staff (special thanks to Joanne), nice green surroundings, nicely decorated restaurant, good breakfast albeit not varied. On to the things that were not so great, the restaurant food is a bit overpriced/over hyped... my lamb shank wasn't fall of the bone and the vegetables were bland, far too many unnecessary small tapestry/rugs on the floor that aren't glued in place and look like they need a clean, lighting inside the bedroom and bathroom were inadequate, it felt like some of the installations in the room were an afterthought that weren't skillfully executed (e.g. the electrical sockets, light fixtures, faucets and shower heads), no room numbers on the room door exterior, one of the rooms in the hotel suffers from noise pollution.

I have stayed here many times and always enjoy my stay. In particular, the bed and pillows are so comfortable. And the restaurant is fabulous!

Nice boutique hôtel conveniently located near the city center. Perfect for short stays. Staff was very helpful and provided great service.

This is a little gem, less than 10 beautifully decorated rooms. This place is also one of the best, and consistently good restaurants in town “Mediterraneo”. The service is excellent, the staff extremely nice. The rooms have very nice showers and comfy beds. If you are looking for a cosy hotel, clean, well decorated, with excellent food and atmosphere, look no further.

We stayed at the guest house on two separate occasions in two separate double rooms. Both rooms were very clean and well appointed. They each had enormous closet space, which was convenient. Hot water and Wi-Fi were reliable. The staff were pleasant and professional. Breakfast was included and was a generous portion of delicious food. The adjacent restaurant has an excellent Italian menu, albeit a bit pricey. This guesthouse is terrific value for the money. It’s in a convenient location, walkable distance to the Acacia Mall area that has plenty of affordable restaurants. The grounds are lovely.

Very clean room with modern touches. Great Wifi. Wonderful restaurant on-site with great Italian/Mediterranean including awesome wood-fired pizza. Located near downtown Kampala, Arcadia Mall, and MUJHU hospital and more.

i've stayed at this hotel multiple times and I have mixed feelings about the place these days. On the positive side - the place has a small boutique feel to it and the rooms, while not huge, are comfortable with an eclectic 'colonial' style decor and vibe. The showers are consistently outstanding - important if you are coming in from a more rural place and want a great relaxing, hot shower! The wifi was great on one of my visits - and I could do work calls - but not so good another (maybe just a sign of the telecomm times), so may be worth checking if you really need to do an important internet-based call while here. The lunch/dinner restaurant is excellent - also consistently so. Restaurant staff, cleaning staff, garden staff - could not be nicer or more welcoming - they are giving such great service. Removing the 5th star from my review is that the front desk folks- seems to be a family..? maybe the owners? - could not be more unwelcoming and unfriendly. Not a single welcome was offered, not a single thanks for your business, not a question on whether the stay is ok, can we help - nothing while checking in or checking out. Its like being a guest there is a disturbance to their day. I don't understand this because the 'floor staff' are so nice and its so inconsistent with every other experience I've had in Uganda - weird. The rooms are on the dark side - but they are quiet so that can be a bonus. Breakfast is not a good meal - there must be a totally different kitchen staff as I found multiple times breakfast is bad! Overall its a very good alternative to big chain hotels in town but front desk staff give bad vibes.

This is a brilliant option if you want peace, quiet, a little style and great food. The restaurant (Mediterraneo) is one of the best in Kampala so I tried the accommodation as well. Pretty good and very good value. Would definitely return.

The moment you waltz into the villa restaurant section ....wow the customer care is really top notch I love it ....the villa makes you feel like you are in medieval Italy with so much Aromas dashing in the air.lovely glass roof top ....having dinner as you gaze at the stars it's really beautiful and customercare is good and the food is really great. Keep it very high up
