Keelan Ace Villas — Hotel in Kampala

In the middle of the craziness that is the city of Kampala, the last thing you might expect is to drive through huge security gates and step into an English country garden. It is like suddenly being airlifted to an entirely different world in the blink of an eye. The grounds, the pool area, and the grouping of villas surrounding it, create a magical oasis. The couple who owns it couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. On a nice sunny morning, breakfast, if you wish them to provide it for you, is served by the pool. Or, if you prefer, it will be brought to your villa at the prearranged time. The two dogs are as friendly and welcoming as their owners and, somehow, just seem to fit in with the ambiance. The rooms are quite adequately appointed but I will bet, if there was something you thought you were missing, it would show up the minute you asked, Sadly, I was only there for one night but, if I am ever back in Kampala, that would be the first place I would head. If you didn't want to cook all your own dinners, there are at least three restaurants within safe walking distance. We went to the German pub for beer and schnitzel. They will even do your laundry for a very reasonable cost. Whether you are in Kampala for business or pleasure, this is the spot to spend a few...

We all know the anxiety that comes with booking online. In this case this was put at bay by the host who keeps in touch with you until your arrival. A quick tour round and finally key to your villa(complete with a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and private bathroom).|Being from the city, a step to the villa with a beautiful garden brings with it peace and relaxation. There is a clean pool cleaned twice daily, Wifi is standard and is unlimited, the host and the staff at your beck and call, hot water is also available, kitchen amenities at your disposal(this made my sister and I to prefer doing our meals) Otherwise there are restaurants in the area if you so wish to dine out. For breakfast, one can request the host to prepare one at a cost served at your preferred area,by the pool or in your room. |Did I mention I have dog phobia😂 the two dogs are friendly and actually mind their business. |The place is easily accessible both by public and private means.|This was indeed a home away from home for my sister and I, given a second chance I'd chose it again and again.|A...

A lovely quiet compound of little cottages/villas, surrounding a pretty garden and small (but not shallow) swimming pool. Owners Shane and Emily, who live on site, were wonderfully helpful, both before and during our visit. We stayed a whole week, using all the cottages - quite a large group! Ideal for families with couples and singles. The staff were also very polite and helpful.|Cottages are equipped with fridge and cooking facilities. As a big family group we gathered in the largest one for breakfast every morning, then got takeaways to eat together near the pool in the evening, or went out for dinner. |The cottages are well-equipped and comfortable, with reliable wifi and TVs (although we were so busy we didn't watch TV!). |This is an ideal base for resting, holidaying, and also exploring Kampala. It's easy to get to Lake Victoria from here too, where there is a wealth of wildlife, especially birds. We hope to come...
