Jinja Nile Resort
8.1 (34 reviews)

Jinja Nile Resort ★★★★

📍 Plot M130 Kimaka Road, Jinja

"Terrifying experience, very beautiful place from a naturalistic point of view but the structure and especially the staff are zero. 2 hours to have dinner in the evening, forgotten questions, waiters who were not informed if there was a product or not. And all this with the hotel almost empty."

Hotel Zeptan
7.9 (4 reviews)

Hotel Zeptan ★★★

📍 Danida 2, walukuba, Jinja

"Breakfast was well organized and tasty, friendly staff, room had everything you need, only not entirely practically laid out, meaning some things were not fully or not at all usable, an extra section of the hotel was still being built during our stay, well secured, beautiful view, a perfect location for us, because we were very close to the reason we were in Uganda,"

8.7 (28 reviews)

2 Friends Guest House ★★★★

📍 5 Jackson Ave, Jinja

"Great stop off on our road trip. Comfortable rooms, large bathroom, hot water and busy restaurant next door and quieter one on site. Very lovely staff, secure parking. Pool available but too cold on our visit to swim. Good location and 10 minute walk to the lake"

Hotel Paradise on the Nile ★★★

📍 19 Kiira Rd, Jinja

"This place is a home away from home for my family and I. Been visiting since 2004 to date! The hotel Is clean, friendly staff, pocket friendly and the breakfast is the icing on the cake! especially the sausages!! The view of the nile is refreshing..but as a fanatic of yours, was there this Christmas, the general furniture needs to be upgraded from the eating area to the rooms..other than that Dr&family will always have Paradise at heart!! I think we need royalty points now 🤗"

JD LUXURY HOTEL
6.5 (2 reviews)

JD LUXURY HOTEL

📍 Tororo Rd, Jinja

"The owner of the hotel was very nice. But other than the behaviour of the owner nothing was right. The location of the hotel is not good at all. It is just beside the highway. So due to the sound of vehicles people can not sleep at night. I don’t recommend this hotel to stay."

The Mansion Hotel Jinja
7.7 (3 reviews)

The Mansion Hotel Jinja ★★★

📍 15 Jackson Ave, Jinja

"Don't prepay. We reserved 36 rooms for 2 nights and 15 rooms for one night and prepaid for them during a conference we had planned at their hotel. They booked us for one day earlier (which was never in our plan) and charged us for the rooms that weren't occupied. They waited for 2 days to tell us they were charging us for the rooms anyway. Many participants in our conference had to leave a day earlier. Joshua the general manager, was apparently unconcerned about how their mistake happened and blamed it on us. He said that we confirmed on a phone call on the day in question. The check in date was never mentioned so we confirmed for what we thought was the for the next day. The hotel knew that our Reception Dinner was planned on the next day which was supposed to the check in date. They had that correct. So why did they have the check-in date wrong? Joshua unilaterally decided not to take in consideration our point of view of the situation and offered no apologies."

Jinja Nile Resort ★★★★
"I had a wonderfully peaceful and comfortable stay. The bed was exceptionally cozy — one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The overall atmosphere was quiet and serene, perfect for unwinding. The hotel maintains an old-world charm, especially noticeable in the main lobby and the upstairs area of the reception. It adds a unique character that sets it apart from more modern, impersonal accommodations. The staff were friendly, attentive, and proactive in ensuring that every aspect of the stay was smooth and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience memorable. If you're planning a visit, I highly recommend booking a room on the riverside. These rooms not only offer lovely views but also enhance the overall sense of peace and connection with nature. Would definitely return!"

2 Friends Guest House ★★★★
"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."

The Mansion Hotel Jinja ★★★
"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."
