GOOD Based on 199 reviews Posted on Annelies MVerified Wonderful place Wonderful place to stay in Jinja. Very friendly staff, great breakfast. For dinner you can order from the restaurant next door, also excellent. Nice rooms, good airconditioning, good shower and nice beds. I can also highly recommend booking a massage from Jackie. Very friendly and professional. We had a great stay here and will definitely come back when visiting Uganda again. Main street is at a walkable distance and lots to do in Jinja.Posted on Mook75Verified A Hidden Gem: Amazing Stay at 2 Friends Guest House! Our seven-night stay at the 2 Friends Guest House was absolutely fantastic. This small hotel offers a wonderfully personal feel, making for a much more intimate and enjoyable experience than larger hotels. We were pleasantly surprised by the very nice, modern gym, which was a great bonus. The pool area is very comfortable, with plenty of lounge chairs for relaxation, and the grounds are meticulously manicured, adding to the serene atmosphere. Included breakfast had plentiful options and was delicious, setting us up nicely for each day. The staff was consistently great and always eager to be helpful, making our stay incredibly smooth and pleasant. A fantastic perk, especially for longer stays, is their complementary laundry service – a thoughtful touch that was greatly appreciated. The guest house is also centrally located, making it convenient for exploring. An extra bonus is the attached restaurant that has a broad menu and plenty of seating, which was perfect for convenient meals. We had an absolutely fantastic time here and can't recommend it enough. If you're looking for a comfortable, personal, and well-located stay, the 2 Friends Guest House is an excellent choice!Posted on Jane MVerified Weekend Escape in Jinja at 2Friends Guest House The most affordable luxury stay in Jinja. Great staff, great food and rooms and ambiance. We had a great time here. Keep it up!Posted on Ivan Philip BVerified Very great food, nature and activities! I had a fantastic stay! The customer care was exceptional, but what truly stood out was the work culture. The employees seemed genuinely happy and comfortable, creating such a positive atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond, and the healthy work environment was evident. It was inspiring to see staff even writing songs about the place out of love! I met the humble, hospitable, and punctual owner. The night pool swims were wonderful, the beds were comfy, and the community-made soap was a nice touch. The boat ride on the River Nile was exhilarating, taking me to the source and onto Lake Victoria. I saw many bird species, snakes, and the fishing activities on the lake. There are also many other activities like kayaking, ziplining, tubing, and rafting. I highly recommend for couples, family and solo trips in Jinja. Its very few minutes from the River Nile.Posted on Namulinda GVerified Cozy environment and value for money My weekend stay at 2Friends Guest house Jinja was an amazing one.
