My stay at Forest Cottages was very pleasant and I would stay again.
Pros:

The staff was friendly, and this hotel has so much character. It is like an oasis in the middle of Kampala, with large trees and lots of plants.

Cons:

Lack of attention to detail with facility upkeep, such as old plumbing (loose faucets), shabby carpets on stairs, and unclean tables at breakfast. Two of the nights I was there, there were very loud events on the grounds, but the noise ended by 10:30pm.
