Good, central location in Kampala. Friendly, helpful staff. Good food.

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 ....

Ok pour un week-end mais pas assez de confortable pour un long séjour

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.

Cosy, comfortable rooms set in a delightful garden.

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.

I'll be back.

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.

Small hotel with kind staff and a very unique Ugandan decoration and sculptures. Highly recommended

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.

Excellent location and a peaceful place for a break in Kampala.

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.

Alright

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.

Great business hotel in Kololo

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.

One member of staff made it so-so. Beautiful and quiet nonetheless.

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.

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.
