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 hotel was ok out side our room but our twin bed room was very small. You goi k x not have swung a cat around in it. No where for luggage. Fortunately we were not staying the whole night. The bathroom was very different climbing some steps to get into the shower. The bar and restraunt area was very pleasant and there was a lively pool on a lower level. The food we ate wax very nice. We may have just been allocated a bad room.

The location is beautiful surrounded by green and trees in the middle of a busy city. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The big problem is that they drilled holes in every wall of your room against the dampness and hulidity. This means that you hear everything from the oustide and you can easily follow the conversation of you nextdoor neighbours. I don't mean muffled sounds, you can actually follow it word by word. Bring earplugs or take a sleeping pill if you want to get any sleep at all. We were there as a satrtingpoint for our trip with G Adventures

Beautiful lush grounds and terraces. Super friendly and helpful staff. Good restaurant (the Indian items are the best choice). The rooms are pretty basic. Some screened windows do not close - which is a problem at night. This is a noisy place in a noisy area. Bring earplugs

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.

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.
