Overall Ratings & Reviews Forest Cottages

The grounds are lovely, a true forest in the city. Over the years my travel companion and I have had three different types of accomodations, a small budget room, a two bedroom suite, and a cottage. They all had advantages and disadvantages, but we agree that the cottage we recently stayed in for four nights was our favorite. It had two patios, two en-suite bedrooms, a living/kitchen/dining room and was surrounded by lush greenery. If steps are a problem, maybe not suitable. The food here is varied and good and the chef accommodating. The included breakfast buffet is really good. We wanted to have a dinner for 18, and the event planner helped us plan a great buffet in the garden. Downside for people with any physical problem is steps. Lots of steps.

It’s a very pretty place as a whole. The patio and other common areas were well maintained and the plants made it so welcoming. It didn’t feel like we were in a city. The bedroom was very clean and the bed was comfortable with the addition of the fan to keep the room cool. It also had a small fridge. Something most places I stayed didn’t have. My only issues were the front desk staff didn’t have written down (on a log book) the reservation correctly and it didn’t coincide with what I booked or canceled in Hotels.com. The shower didn’t work. At least I was able to shower from the faucet on the wall, but the knob wouldn’t turn on the shower. There are very many steps, starting from the parking to the rooms. Anyone using a cane or other device may want to rethink staying here. Otherwise, this hotel is worth staying at. The restaurant was very good.

Good central location and clean

Always stay at the property and treated like family. Love it!!!

Very nice area with trees, and a nice swimming pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good wifi (most of the time). The only thing was that on some evenings there was a party which was a bit noisy.

Beautiful place with beautiful trees, and really nice swimming pool under the trees. Very friendly staff.

Nice location in a forest and the staff are great. The food is also good. However, the property needs a major upgrade and renovation. The place has seen much better days and is falling apart. There are also safety issues - stairs in the units that are falling apart, no railings etc. Nevertheless, we were relatively comfortable. Being able to use the Kabira Club facilities is nice.

No room service Ordered for food and it never came Couldn’t make myself tea in the room coz there was no tea leaves sugar or even a cup only a kettle

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!

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.

Construction was going on during the night, a lot of banging of walls that could allow me sleep.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I kept my two suitcases behind the front desk for about 8 hours on the day that I checked out before I took a car to the airport. (They do not have a luggage room.) I had luggage locks on both suitcases. When I returned to pick up my bags, one luggage lock was missing, and the other had been broken off. I had nothing valuable in the suitcases, and nothing (from what I can tell) was taken. I called the hotel management, and they said they asked their employees if they did it. Since all the employees denied breaking into the suitcases, they said it didn't happen. What was otherwise an ok stay was ruined by this experience.

Great staff who are very friendly. Good value stay in Kampala

Beautiful surroundings. It used to be a very peaceful setting. Now the hotel caters more to parties and events. No peace and quiet and often loud music until midnight!

the rooms are quite unique with an upstairs and downstairs. the economy one i had was perfectly good for my needs

Staffs are nice! Rooms are old style and not correctly arranged & furnished especially lavabos...

Tv and phone in room didn’t work. Bedsheets were not clean. But general environment of hotel is nice if love you a forest arrangement and birds singing in morning in trees around your room.

It's pretty to look at. Lots of wood if your into that, it's near a nice club, Cayenne. Ppl were polite. The breakfast was simple and a hot meal but it taste good. Negatives; so so many stairs, from my car to my room, 82 steps and no elevator. If you have bad knees, if you are old, this is not the place for you. Very many mosquitos so I used the mosquito net they provided. I would start here again. The price was only $55 per night. But I have good knees and I like the exercise.

We love the atmosphere found at Forest Cottages! Very relaxing!
