"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."

"Ο ιδιοκτήτης του ξενοδοχείου ήταν πολύ καλός... αλλά εκτός από τη συμπεριφορά του ιδιοκτήτη, τίποτα δεν ήταν σωστό. Η τοποθεσία του ξενοδοχείου δεν είναι καθόλου καλή. Είναι ακριβώς δίπλα στον αυτοκινητόδρομο. Έτσι, λόγω του ήχου των οχημάτων, οι άνθρωποι δεν μπορούν να κοιμηθούν τη νύχτα. Δεν συνιστώ αυτό το ξενοδοχείο να μείνει."

"The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Also the food are good. Incase that anyone need to avoid the insects and Reptiles inside the room will be a good choice in Jinja. Also its in the main street of jinja which ia near to almost everything needed include gifts,banks..etc."

"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!!"

"If you are in Jinja: go to the Backpackers. We enjoyed our stay so so much: Nash and all the other staff is truly amazing, always open for a chat and willing to help you with activities you can do. We stayed in a ensuite double room and it was really beautiful- so is the whole place: The huge garden, the restaurant and the bar, all the little places you can sit and relax- or even work because there's WiFi everywhere. The food is great, especially the breakfast is amazing. They have 2 very friendly dogs and 2 nice cats. The location is perfect, it's quiet but also not far from town, the staff is more than happy to call an bodha for you, so you won't get overcharged. We can highly recommend the place, it's not too expensive and really worth a stay."

"- Ωραία. - Πολύ ωραία."

"Οι Shambles είναι πιθανόν μια υποτιμητική περιγραφή της εμπειρίας. Ας εξετάσουμε λοιπόν τα ζητήματα που ποσοτικοποιούν το μέρος αυτό ως ύφασμα: 1- Τα δωμάτια δεν ήταν έτοιμα (πήγαμε σε 1500 ώρες). 2- Τα δωμάτια ήταν άκαθα και φαινόταν να έχουν αρκετές χρονικές διορθώσεις: α. παράθυρα που δεν ήταν κατάλληλα εγκατεστημένα αφήνοντας μεγάλες κενές θέσεις μεταξύ των τοίχων και του πλαισίου των παραθύρων. β. πετσέτες στο κάτω μέρος των σαπισμένων πόρτων ξύλου. γ. τα κρεβάτια είναι ακόμα βρώμικα και χρωστικά d. Πετσέτες με λεκέδες και βρώμικα καφέ π.χ. στελέχη στα κρεβάτια 3- Σνακ ή μενού τροφίμων· φαγητό παρήγγειλε, αλλά το φαγητό που λάβαμε δεν ήταν αυτό που διαφημίστηκε στο μενού και δεν υπήρχαν στοιχεία από το μενού στο πιάτο, όπως το κύριο συστατικό (εναλλακτική λύση δόθηκε με την πλήρη συμπλήρωση του μενού. α. Δεν θα μειώσει ούτε το κόστος του στοιχείου. 4 ταξίδια είχαν σχεδιαστεί για να ταξιδέψουν με πλοίο από το προσωπικό υποδοχής και το ταξίδι ήταν σε ένα άλλο μέρος που ήταν αίτηση από ομάδα κεφαλής. 5- κούπα στο δωμάτιο ✅ κύπελλο ✅ τσάι ✅ ζάχαρη ✅ τσάι ή καφέ ❌ Γάλα ❌ 6- χρησιμοποιημένα κύπελλα ρίχνουν στο μπάνιο για να χρησιμοποιήσουμε, όχι ευχαριστώ που είναι ακαθαρτό πάλι. 7- ένας φτωχός μοναχός στην ομάδα είχε ένα κρεβάτι ντους με καταιγίδα από το ταβάνι και την θλιβερή βροχή. Το ξενοδοχείο αυτό χρειάζεται ένα πλήρες μάθημα για όλες τις πτυχές της φιλοξενίας και τις ανάγκες και τις απαιτήσεις των καλεσμένων και τις προσδοκίες του να επιβιώσει."
