DorrisKenyaWonderful! Great Choices! .
Too many stairs!
EireannIEGreat location
The room was not as described. Very old fashioned, poorly maintained. The hotel needs to be renovated and mattresses need to be changed.
MaryamKenyaThe ambiance, the breakfast, the friendly staff and the way the place was clean. The location is really great and I enjoyed my stay.
The shower in my room really had little water pressure.
K MullenCzech RepublicMy stay at Forest Cottages was very pleasant and I would stay again.
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.
Lack of attention to detail with facility upkeep, such as old plumbing…

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.

Questions about Forest Cottages
What time is check-in and check-out at Forest Cottages?
Check-in is from 12:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Forest Cottages allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Forest Cottages?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Forest Cottages have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Forest Cottages?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Forest Cottages have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Forest Cottages?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Forest Cottages have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Forest Cottages?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 12:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Forest Cottages?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
