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.

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.

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.

Everything we needed AND a refreshing pool.

We absolutely loved our stay at 2 Friends! The room was clean and had good amenities, including 2 fans! We enjoyed the pool at least once each day, and usually twice, since it was where the wifi was available.The location is convenient as it was an easy 12-15 minute walk to Main street for shopping/groceries/restaurants. We enjoyed the pizza oven very much on our check in day as we waited for the room to be ready (we arrived early) and we had a good dinner on our last night there at the main restaurant. We were given one free drink each at the bar area near the pool. We were suprised and happy with the in room refrigerator to keep our waters and drinks cold overnight. Security was great and staff was very kind and courteous. Everything we were looking for in the hotel.

Great place

Had an issue checking in. They didn't have me booked because of an expedia problem but i had a printed invoice saying that i had rented a room. This would have beed a major problen if they had no rooms left but it was off season so i was in luck. They got the best pan fried fish in the country.
Only thing that turned me off was a night watchmen asking me for money. Couldn't really say no right... he's wactching over me while I'm sleeping. I had to go to my room to get the cash.
I would and i have recommended this place
