Traveller reviews

“Superb”
11 Mar 2025
I was in Kampala for a conference and stayed at Residence 256 for a week. The rooms/facilities look even nicer in person, and the Superior room was excellent and had all the amenities I needed and more! The breakfast (fresh and delicious) was my daily highlight, and I tried the in-house lunch/dinner on a couple of occasions, which was also lovely to have. The staff was fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was smooth. The only challenge I had with my stay had nothing to do with the actual place, but more so the location. There was a road/roundabout closure nearby at the time that made it slightly more challenging to get a taxi, but the staff was always helpful in those instances in securing one. I would highly recommend- you truly can't beat the value for what you get in terms of comfort and quality.

“My stay was relaxed and pleasant.”

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.

“What a hidden gem, excellent decor, Esther and Tonie are amazing hosts and truly sumptuous meals..”
