Joyful in Jinja

The 2 Friends Guest House in Jinja, Uganda is quite lovely. The staff and security guards are very kind & hospitable. The area felt very safe and is walkable to town. The room was clean and comfortable. The gym is above average and the pool is quite refreshing. I was able to enjoy breakfast before departing for the day. The front desk staff also helped to book me a shuttle return back to Entebbe. I highly recommend the 2 Friends Guest House if you’re visiting Jinja.

Superb hotel - highly recommended

The hotel staff were amazing. They went out of their way to ensure we had a fantastic stay. They even helped my fiancé plan his marriage proposal and provided a beautiful candlelight table display and flowers. It was so special. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet was delicious!! And evening dinners too. The pool is really clean and fresh. And I had a massage which was great. I highly recommend 2 Friends Hotel and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much to all the staff for making our stay so memorable.

Prima guesthouse, gezellig om te verblijven.

Prijs/kwaliteit ruim voldoende! Leuke sfeer, huisjes/kamers zien er gezellig en schoon uit! Heerlijk rustig. Eten en drinken is prima, voldoende keus. Vriendelijk personeel. Voorzieningen prima en schoon. Zwembad is klein, maar goed genoeg om af te koelen.

Lovely guest house with great restaurant and pool

Really nice place, lovely poolside area for relaxing, good food (especially the breakfast) at the restaurant, friendly staff. Highly recommend - but request one of the outside rooms if possible. On my second visit (it was so good I came back!) I was allocated one of the few inside rooms, because the outside rooms at that price were all booked up, and it just didn't have the same charm. Ended up upgrading so that I could have an outside room.

Excellent!

This is a wonderful hotel in Jinja. The staff is friendly and helpful. They went beyond their normal duties to help us feel comfortable and answer all of our questions. Our room, located near the pool, was comfortable and clean. The pool was a good size and a great place to cool down after a long day. We will be staying here again and I would highly recommend this hotel to other families.

Don't bother booking online

Showed up to find it was fully booked, even though I'd made an online reservation. Still waiting for my money to be returned, a week later.
