Villa Kololo

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.

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.

Good Mediterranean restaurant in-house, located in upmarket area of town. Large rooms. Comfortable. Failed to provide breakfast next day in the morning as staff were not present. 24hr security in place, also has car park facilities for those with a car.
