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!

Residence 256 Kampala, Kigo, hotel in Kampala

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.

Residence 256 is a small hotel situated inside a safe enclosed residential area. It is on the second or third floor of a building without a lift. You need to climb the stairs, but the hotel staff carry your luggage for your. The hotel is beautifully decorated in African style, without sacrificing modern amenities. You are given a choice of various dishes for breakfast, which you must order the evening before, as well as indicate the time you will have breakfast. For the other meals, you also have a choice between two or three dishes. It's not gourmet food, but the food is prepared with care. There is a coffee/tea station in the dining room, with biscuits throughout the day. From the dining room there is a beautiful view to Lake Victoria, where you can experience the sunset. The staff are very polite and attentive to your needs, and always ready to help. The wi-fi was adequate. There is no air-conditioning in the room but there is a good quality fan. They provide a gown, slippers and rubber slippers for the shower, as well as shower gel, body cream and a toothbrush kit. The bed is surrounded by a mosquito net. There is a desk in the bedroom. It is not a 5 star hotel, so you cannot expect 5 star hotel amenities. In all, I regard Residence 256 as a good hotel, that offers a calm atmosphere and attention to your needs.

    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.

    The breakfast was very very good. The staff is great. Bushpig is definitely is social meeting point. I have noticed that even travelers (and locals) who aren't staying in the hostel, visit Bushpig for drinks or dinner or for one of its fun regular events, like a pub quiz or live music gig.

    The property is conveniently located, Claire is a very good host and responds very fast to any requests. The apartment is very good with a comfortable bed, a smart TV with multiple channels, a microwave, a gas oven, a washing machine, etc. The internet is much better compared to other places I have stayed in Uganda. Overall, it was a comfortable stay.

    I had the pleasure of staying at Tgs Homestay in Kampala, Uganda, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by Emmanuel, the manager. From the moment I arrived, he went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. His warm hospitality, in-depth knowledge of the local area, and willingness to assist with any request made my time in Kampala truly memorable. I highly recommend Tgs Homestay, thanks to Emmanuel's exceptional management skills and dedication to customer satisfaction.
