Very good breakfast (greatly improved from the last visit, to be honest ). Friendly staff, good location for a working visit to Kampala. Safe parking. Comfortable and spacious room. Very good room service. Secluded shady terrace. Good option to have the evening meal at Mediterraneo on site.
A bit noisy at night, but it was a Friday night ....

Very nice rooms, friendly and helpful staff, airport pick-up and drop-off was well organised and relatively good value.
Wifi didn't work well in the restaurant area

The bar is amazing and the reception staff go an extra mile to offer the best customer experience specifically Sadiq.

Bon emplacement, très bon restaurant, personnel serviable et à la recherche de solutions lorsqu’il y a des problèmes.
Chambres très sombres, petites, salles de bains mériteraient d’être rafraîchie. Lumières au sein des chambres ne sont pas pratiques.

Everything was amazing

The Villa Kololo is located in a beautiful small garden with a fantastic restaurant attached to it. It has a warm, welcoming style. Rooms are spacious though a bit dark. There is lots of wood, lovely furnishings, and the decor is charming. The staff at reception, housekeeping and the restaurant are kind and attentive. The breakfast is excellent. It's a very good base if working in central Kampala.
It is a bit pricey; I think prices could be adjusted for single travellers. Also, I think the policies around eco-tourism could be better implemented e.g. towels/linen do not need to be changed every day.

The location was fantastic. The people even better. With Pardis, Serena, and DiVinci restaurants with in a 2 mile radius you have the best dining in Kampala. This little paradise is tucked away minutes from Embassy row and Interpol headquarters where the best views and scenery of the capital are captured.

My room was next to the restaurant bad idea at night since the bar opens until late.

Excellent breakfast served by very kind staff. Villa Kololo is a tiny place with a unique feeling. Excellent location, Walking distance to the shopping mall. Good Italian restaurant.

The breakfast was great with various choices available to guests.
4.1
Breakfast is fine - bread, fruit, eggs, coffee, tea, juice etc. We really appreciated being allocated a room with a small balcony/terrace as it made the stay very relaxing. Lovely beds, bed linen, furniture with bathroom well appointed and good range of toiletries. Kettle with tea and coffee in the room a really nice touch. Helpful staff. Good parking.
Breakfast could be more imaginative, with more options - which would be in keeping with the 'boutique feel' of Villa Kololo.

Originality of the location and the quality of the food in the restaurant!

The location and restaurant vibe
Really limited parking space for hotel guests that are not comfortable parking by the roadside, the lighting of the room and entire interior was on the darker side, low to no natural aeration in the room.
While the location is great, it’s also in a busy part of town that makes for a not so quiet stay. The same goes for the popular hotel restaurant that gets busy through the night.

Beautiful and well appointed boutique hotel in busy Kololo, and still quiet at night. Excellent and friendly service during day and at dinner, nice food and wine cards. Room 16 excellent for working travellers - extra quiet, large and with all amenities.
The breakfast service, both food and staff, does not live up to the standards of the hotel.

The rooms are beautiful. I love a boutique style hotel with nice furnishings.
Thé staff that attended to us was just rude and disrespectful .
We did not appreciate the call at 11pm telling us to move
our car nor the difference in treatment from other guests.
Management was understanding but it’s terrible how one person can change your whole experience.
4.1
Location - Excellent location in the Kololo area of Kampala. We walked to Acacia Mall (20 mins) and restaurants close by.
Room - Clean and comfortable.
Facilities - Very nice, the area for breakfast is very tranquil.
Staff - Very helpful and friendly.
Value for Money - Good.
Nothing, we would stay here again.

Breakfast was excellent
Room was overcrowded with furniture. Television was extremely difficult to use.
4.1
The breakfast was not consistent, from protioning, to breakfast contents. One day you would get bacon and the next not so much. Sometimes you recieved toast and sometimes you didnt and in addition, you were required to pay extra in cash to have the meal on your balcony.
