ICU guesthouse is a great place to stay when you are in Kampala. There is a mix of long and short stay guests. The rooftop bar/lounge provides an excellent place to relax and meet other people. The first day I arrived I was immediately invited by the other guests to join them for dinner in the city center. I stayed... More

My friend and I stayed at ICU guesthouse for two nights. We chose a double room because we don't like dorm much but the double bed is very small, I'm 165cm, 47kg and my friend is about the same size and it was very uncomfortable for us to sleep on the same bed. The internet was down on our first... More

Very basic rooms, beautiful terrace. ICU is a nice place to chill out - its in a very quiet neighbourhood although the house itself echoes the movements and conversations of most of the other guests. If there were a rowdy group here sleep might be difficult. It seems slightly overpriced for the room but the terrace, good WIFI and chilled... More

I stayed for almost 3 months while I worked in town. While it is nice, and safe, you can get better prices and a better experience elsewhere. I was woken up by loud groups at all hours of the day and night. The guests treat the staff like personal assistants and the owners allow this. If you aren't Dutch, you... More

The guesthouse is absolutely a great place to stay to check out everything that Kampala has to offer. It is clean, service is great, staff is very helpful. They offer delicious meals and the fridge is always full of cold drinks. I've visited this guesthouse a couple of times already and I will surely return.

We stayed a few nights at the beginning and the end of our two-month stay in Uganda. THe guesthouse is nicely located just out of the very busy centre of Kampala, a 10 minutes bodaboda-drive (quite adventurous experience!). It's a lovely spacious guesthouse, we stayed in the smaller and the bigger dorm, which were both good and clean, with most... More

From August 11th until September 2nd in 2012 I went with my wife and two friends on a trip through Uganda, organized by Grassrootz. We began in the ICU Guesthouse, which belongs to the same organization. For me this was the sixth time (apart from being a traveler I also run a foundation) in this Guesthouse, which feels like home... More

We spent a couple of night at ICU, before leaving for 1 week tour organized through Grassrotz, ICU's travel agency. The day in Kampala we had a city tour with guide from ICU: it was very interesting and nice. The tour (Murchinson Falls and Rwenzory) was a perfect mix of nature and culture, relaxing guesthouses and community accomodation. The driver... More

We spent a night at the guest house after renting a 4x4 + driver for a tour through north Uganda (George is the best driver in Uganda!). Apart from the awesome trip though the North, the ICU guest house was a perfect relaxed way to end our week sleeping in the rooftop tent. Relaxed place, nice bed, and a reasonable... More

My stay at ICU guesthouse has been great. The people, both guests and staff, are very friendly and always willing to help. Most guests come on their own, which causes that you easily get in contact with other people. The guesthouse is clean, safe, welcoming and friendly. I appreciate the fact that the profit of the guesthouse goes to community... More
