The host was very friendly. The interior decor was great and clean. The bed was comfortable

The stay at Residence 256 have been great! We loved the room and enjoyed to walk around the compound; a big thanks to Esther who since the very beginning made us feel like home and supported us in each request.

“A safe and tasteful place to discover Kampala.”

A safe, quiet and very well designed place between Entebbe and the crowded centre of Kampala. Within a sort of secured compound area. Everything in the room was there. Very clean too. They know their job very well. You can also have dinner there. Special thanks to my host Esther; she was very helpful and nice and fun to talk with. Great performance overall!

“Staff excellent, really enjoyed the food, very handy south of Kampala. Safe comfortable stay.”

It was quiet

“Privately owned apartment in a residential area.”

Spacious facility.

“We had a wonderful stay, and felt very welcome”

Very friendly and helpful people, food is good and affordable. Property was clean and beds were comfortable. Location is in an apartment building in Mirembe villas (compound). Not too much around. We arrived in the night (from the airport) and staff was waiting for us. Air-conditioning in the room worked properly.

“Lovely”

Was good and clean

Customer service and hygiene is topnotch

“I highly recommend this place especially for guests attending weddings in Kigo. It works out great.”

Residence 256 is an unassuming hidden gem. You walk through the doors into a little, tastefully decorated oasis. The rooms are exactly as pictured and very comfortable, the staff are wonderful and so friendly - shout out to Esther - and the complimentary breakfast is a delight. It’s also very conveniently located if you’re staying over for a wedding in the Kigo Gardens, like we were. Can only recommend this place highly 🙌🏽

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.
