Villa Kololo Guest House

Quiet luxury in a curated environment

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.

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!!

Spacious and a very lovely room with a big bathroom. Charming interior design with a colonial vibe. The hotel is right next to a very good Italian restaurant. The only thing missing is a garden.

I stayed for one night and had to check out at 6:00 AM. I asked the front desk staff if breakfast could be packed to go. She assured me that the meals would be prepared after the restaurant closed that evening. Upon entering the room, I found it smaller than expected. There was no door knob for the room or the restroom, which was quite unusual. Additionally, there was no place to put the soap except on the floor, which was inconvenient. The room's furniture was outdated. The hotel has a restaurant called Mediterraneo. I ordered pasta, but it was disappointing in flavor. The price was disproportionate to the quality. At checkout, I asked the front desk staff if the meals were ready. After checking the refrigerator, he informed me that no meals were prepared. I was deeply disappointed and left the hotel hungry. I left a message for the hotel through the app but received no response after a week. I don’t recommend this hotel and would not return.

Good
