Property is smaller than l thought it would be. The room definitely has some colonial character, but was smaller than expected. The restaurant was nice, but pricey though.

Oranges and Lemons

We have stayed at Villa Kololo many times yet recently, the vibe has changed. It used to be a beautiful garden setting - very natural and authentic Italian style restaurant, and well maintained. Now, there are plastic oranges and lemons everywhere, fake flowers, and the real garden is overgrown and not maintained well. We feel the standard is slipping away, which is very sad. It used to be my favourite place to stay in Kampala. The breakfast service was disappointing - servers not very friendly, food very slow and average. Beds are still very comfortable though. If you like plastic oranges and lemons - you’ll love it!!

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.

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.

An excellent option

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.
