"Nice firm comfortable mattress and soft pillow made sleeping great. In the restaurant we ordered from ala-carte menu. Met up with manager Vishal who helped us through the Indian vegetarian meal and honestly can say him and his staff prepared a superb dinner. To simply put it the whole experience of staying there was superb. Views of river Nile from outside the room was breath taking. Overall great experience. 👍"

"We stayed in this hotel for only one night but we had a great time. The staff was especially nice, friendly and helpful. The rooms were a bit smaller but it was enough for two people. It is a more remote area of Jinja but it's safe and calm. Definitely recommend getting grilled fish in the restaurant!"

"We have stayed at 2 Friends several times since 2016 with both the previous and current management. We have explored other hotels and guest houses in Jinja but always return to 2 Friends for good reason, their consistent quality accommodations. The grounds, dining area, and pool are beatifully maintained and there have been upgrades to the rooms (A/C, TV, mattresses, etc.) over the years. Management pays attention to detail and 2 Friends is a very pleasant place to stay and relax. From the time we arrived, Leticia at reception made sure that we were happy with our room and cared for our needs. The housekeeping (Margaret & Prossy) and waitress (Josephine & Zubega) staff are so friendly, helpful, and diligent, as is the chef, Mary, who happily prepares a beautiful breakfast each morning with an extensive selection and even provides some items via order. For lunch or for dinner, food can be ordered from All Friends, the restaurant next door (under different management), and delivered to your room or the dining area at 2 Friends which is a nice feature that we took advantage of several time. We have eaten at All Friends many times since the early 2000's when we lived in Jinja and while we feel that the overall appearance of the restaurant has declined, the pizzas are still very good. If you are visiting Jinja, 2 Friends is well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed. The maintenance of the hotel, incredible staff, and amenities at their price point are unmatched."

"Ładne apartamenty z cichym otoczeniem"

"Hotel jest czysty i pracownik jest przyjazny i pomocny. Również jedzenie jest dobre. Wejść, że każdy kto musi uniknąć owadów i reptilów wewnątrz pokoju będzie dobrym wyborem w Jinja. Również w głównej ulicy jinja, która ia prawie wszystko, czego potrzeba, to prezenty, banki, itp."

"Very quiet and clean place we had a great stay .Nice 👍 service"

"Zostaliśmy w Jinja Backpackers na weekend jako trzy rodziny, i szczerze czuliśmy się jak w domu. Dzieci miały tyle miejsca do zabawy, z darmowymi rowerami i skuterami, przytulne rogów do czytania, a nawet gazebos, gdzie grali w karty. Przyjazne psy sprawiły, że czuł się jeszcze ciepły! Pokoje były czyste, przystępne i każdy miał swój własny urok. Jedna rodzina miała czterokrotny pokój ($90), który czuł się jak mały dom. Inna została w prywatnej kabinie otoczonej zieleni ($70). Moja rodzina zabrała 8-bed dorm z prywatnym łazienkowym skrzydłem idealnym dla naszej dużej grupy. Można również uzyskać jedno łóżko dorm za tylko 15 dolarów. Mogli nam pozwolić używać perkolatora do gorącej wody w każdej chwili, co było tak przemyślane dotyk. Jedzenie było niesamowite Nie jestem ryba osoba, ale karrie ryba była niezapomniana. Wielkie dzięki Ivanowi i niesamowitym pracownikom, że są tak pomocne, miłe i elastyczne. Kochaliśmy każdą minutę i nie możemy czekać, aby wrócić!"

"Love this place! I have been twice. in 2022, and 2025. We love the staff, Sylvester is the most humble host, and everyone cares so much about your happiness. The owner, Mr. Tilly is a very kind man.THE KITCHEN IS IMMACULATE!! I have worked in it, and I am from America...our kitchens are FAR more to worry about as I have worked in them as well. I am from Florida. If you are going here thinking that it will be like American hotels, why are you leaving America? This is Africa, and more specifically Uganda! They have their own culture, and ways of doing things. So, as an American let me tell you this, in all of Uganda, at restaurants that is, they cook everything to order. It is not Fast Food, It is amazing food! and you will wait for it. I suggest ordering dinner at breakfast time and setting up your dinner time. You will be more happy that way if you do not like waiting. This Mazungu has learned how to be patient, thanks to Ugandans! I go back this summer!!"

"Shambles is quite possibly an understatement to describe the experience. There are significant issues that should be raised before this questionable hotel should be allowed to receive guests. So let’s review the issues that quantify this place being a shambles: 1- Rooms were not ready (we arrived at 1500hrs ish). 2- Rooms were unclean and appeared to have plenty of temp fixes to them: a. windows not fitting correctly in place leaving large gaps between the walls and window frame. b. towels at the bottom of wood rotted doors. c. bed sheets still dirty and stained d. towels stained and dirty brown e. bugs in the bed sheets 3- Snacks or food menu; food was ordered but the food we got was not that of what was advertised on the menu and lacked items from the menu on the plate such as the main ingredient (instead alternative was given with still no full compliment of what was on the actual menu. a. Would not reduce the cost of the item either. 4- trip was arranged to go on a boat trip from reception staff and the trip was to that of somewhere else that was requested by group lead. 5- kettle in the room ✅ cup ✅ teaspoon ✅ sugar ✅ tea or coffee ❌ milk ❌ 6- used flip flops in the bathroom for us to use, no thank you that is unclean yet again. 7- one poor sole in the group had a bed shower with a downpour from the ceiling and the mourning rain storm. This hotel needs a full lesson on all aspects of hospitality and the needs and requirements of guests and expectations of it were to survive."
