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.

Friendly staff, Nice Stay and Safe for a solo
Great experience as a solo traveler. The breakfast was delicious, the room was clean, the bathroom was great: the shower was perfect, clean toilets, and sinks. The room has a safe to keep your important items until you leave. The staff are gentle and accommodating.

Lovely guest house with great restaurant and pool
Really nice place, lovely poolside area for relaxing, good food (especially the breakfast) at the restaurant, friendly staff. Highly recommend - but request one of the outside rooms if possible. On my second visit (it was so good I came back!) I was allocated one of the few inside rooms, because the outside rooms at that price were all booked up, and it just didn't have the same charm. Ended up upgrading so that I could have an outside room.

Don't bother booking online
Showed up to find it was fully booked, even though I'd made an online reservation. Still waiting for my money to be returned, a week later.

Everything we needed AND a refreshing pool.
We absolutely loved our stay at 2 Friends! The room was clean and had good amenities, including 2 fans! We enjoyed the pool at least once each day, and usually twice, since it was where the wifi was available.The location is convenient as it was an easy 12-15 minute walk to Main street for shopping/groceries/restaurants. We enjoyed the pizza oven very much on our check in day as we waited for the room to be ready (we arrived early) and we had a good dinner on our last night there at the main restaurant. We were given one free drink each at the bar area near the pool. We were suprised and happy with the in room refrigerator to keep our waters and drinks cold overnight. Security was great and staff was very kind and courteous. Everything we were looking for in the hotel.

Great place
Had an issue checking in. They didn't have me booked because of an expedia problem but i had a printed invoice saying that i had rented a room. This would have beed a major problen if they had no rooms left but it was off season so i was in luck. They got the best pan fried fish in the country.
Only thing that turned me off was a night watchmen asking me for money. Couldn't really say no right... he's wactching over me while I'm sleeping. I had to go to my room to get the cash.
I would and i have recommended this place

Nice bar and pool.
The front desk didn't have my reservation when I arrived. Apparently, their own booking department did not forward it. I had to forward them my Expedia confirmation to complete check-in. The front desk had definite opinions on how to travel around town (including "don't walk because you will just get lost"), which I mostly ignored. The bar staff was attentive and friendly and served up a great pizza!
Unfortunately, this place was quite noisy at night between the local club pumping out music into the morning, and the proximity of the rooms to each other.
