Staff were friendly. Information in the room on resort and room etc would be helpful. The kitchen needs to be upgraded along with other outside areas. Nets were too small for bed.
A great relaxing spot in the middle of a busy city. Breakfast was included and was good.
We will go back again.

The service and restaurant at Forest Cottages was fine, and helped make up for very lacklustre rooms. Our room was so small we barely had room to walk around the bed. The place was noisy. Our friends apparently were given a larger room, but others in our group also suffered with extremely tight spaces. Overall, I would not recommend.

This hotel is centrally located in Kampala, off a busy street. Hotel and grounds are nice, restaurant serves good food. The rooms are very small, tiny bathrooms, good Wi-Fi. There were a lots of celebration, graduation and wedding happening at the hotel and it was very noisy until 11pm.

This property is lovely and the staff was great, but this hotel absolutely caters to events. There were loud weddings throughout the day and evening and one night the restaurant was closed due to an event. Hotel guests had to scramble to find a nice place to sit for a meal (and the high tops were not comfortable). Without events, I would stay here again. With events, I would not.

This is a great place to get away, the property is packed with many activities located on the property, becuase its stationed on a hill it can be quite chilly in the mornings and evening in the room.
.
A gentle suggestion would be a Split unit or a heater in the rooms to remove the chill, as hard as it is to believe my wife and i got sick 😫 as a result of this, outside of that the place is great!
.
Would definitely go back!

Nice surroundings if you wanted to sit outside. Food was good as was the wifi. Room was clean and tidy and pleasant looking. However, no armchair, just a hardbacked chair or sit on the bed and no wardrobe, just some hooks over the bed. Shower was very difficult to get in and out of as it was in a very narrow space. Continual music until quite late with other noise late at night from beyond the hotel.

Beautiful property and the simple twin room was mostly very nice, BUT I wouldn’t recommend or stay here again. There were multiple parties both nights I stayed, replete with DJs, thumping bass music, kids popping balloons and it lasted until after 11pm both nights. I had a room between the 2 parties so I got blasted with Christian songs from one side and pop music and a DJ talking on the other side. On the second night my room didn’t have water. I alerted the front desk (Shakira is amazing) and was told that it would be on within 15 mins. Two hours and four trips to the front desk later, I got fed up and showered in the pool house. The manager hid in his office and made the poor desk staff deal with my repeated complaints and questions. Dinner at The Avocado House was good, breakfast was okay. Also, beds were saggy in the centre. I would not recommend this place.
