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.

If you're in Jinja, you MUST stay here!!
What a beautiful place!! What beautiful people!! What fantastic meals!! I was there for 11 days. After the first couple days i mentioned to the manager that mattress was pretty worn. That evening i had a new mattress!! All the staff, including the security team, are extremely pleasant and helpful.

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.
