Boasting pool with a view, bar and views of pool, Savannah Suites is set in Kampala, 10 km from Pope Paul Memorial.

Florence and her team were great. All were friendly and couldn't do enough to make your stay more comfortable. Food was fabulous and rooms, pool areas etc all exceptionally clean.

Boasting lake views, Emmaus Guesthouse Kampala provides accommodation with balcony, around 2.7 km from Kampala Wonder World Amusement Park.

Lovely quiet location whilst being close to Kabalagala. Staff were great. Just a bit basic. No bed side light so had to turn off light by door and struggle in dark to find bed! Would be great to have kettle and tea! Hot water ok if you wait! Breakfast was great!

Featuring a garden and views of lake, Residence 256 Kampala, Kigo is a recently renovated guest house located in Kampala, 14 km from Kampala Wonder World Amusement Park.

I was in Kampala for a conference and stayed at Residence 256 for a week. The rooms/facilities look even nicer in person, and the Superior room was excellent and had all the amenities I needed and more! The breakfast (fresh and delicious) was my daily highlight, and I tried the in-house lunch/dinner on a couple of occasions, which was also lovely to have. The staff was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was smooth. The only challenge I had with my stay had nothing to do with the actual place, but more so the location. There was a road/roundabout closure nearby at the time that made it slightly more challenging to get a taxi, but the staff was always helpful in those instances in securing one. I would highly recommend- you truly can't beat the value for what you get in terms of comfort and quality.

    I recently stayed at C and C House and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The property is charming and meticulously maintained, with a perfect blend of comfort and style. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The location is beautiful, offering easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. I felt right at home and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

    The house is clean and it’s exactly as it is in the photos. The host was friendly and the caretaker who runs the place was of great help throughout our stay, they went above and beyond to help us. The location was perfect and quiet. It is a cozy home with all the basic amenities.

    We had an amazing stay at TGS Homestay in Kampala. The location was perfect, and Emmanuel's professionalism and warm welcome made us feel right at home. The sweet, fresh fruits added a delightful touch, and the comfortable, quiet atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this homestay and look forward to returning in the future.

    Great location; quietness, and accessibility to all other facilities like retail shops, pharmacies, clinics/hospitals, supermarkets and the main Kampala Entebbe Road which can easily connect one to the city centre and the airport. Great support from the hosting staff Mr Keith and all other people taking care of the property.

    The stay was perfect. Fred and Winnie are great hosts. I arrived without my luggage and they asked me if I needed things and bought me some necessities. The setting is very beautiful, the house very secure, it is quite far from the center of Kampala which allows you to be quiet. Do not hesitate to book. Looking forward to returning to your beautiful home.
