Very clean room with modern touches. Great Wifi. Wonderful restaurant on-site with great Italian/Mediterranean including awesome wood-fired pizza. Located near downtown Kampala, Arcadia Mall, and MUJHU hospital and more.

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.

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.

Liked: Staff & service
Not as good as it looks
The villa is located in the bar and party area Kololo which makes it a noisy place at some nights. It has a very good Italian restaurant. It's a one-floor building so that people (workers, gardeners, cooks) were walking during the day in front of my window, looking inside. The staff doesn't show the level of friendliness I'm used from other hotels in Kampala. My overall impression was surprisingly negative.

Opubo

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.
