2 Friends Jinja offers accommodation in Jinja. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar.

Every room comes with a flat-screen TV. Some rooms feature a seating area for your convenience. You will find a kettle in the room. All rooms have a private bathroom with a bath or shower and shower, with slippers provided.

Breakfast was the highlight of the day for me- the tasty menu and the fact that you can have refill of beverages non stop while also getting access to more waffles and sausages- such a generous place. The staff are absolutely awesome and I am going to call out Edwin, Mary and Zubeda, as well as Victory in the breakfast Lounge, Budasian/Prudence is the most gentle soul; Janet at the reception makes you feel like you have been friends forever.

    I have spent 5 days in this hostel, which is located in a quiet area of the city. The staff was really helpful and nice to me, giving advice on what to do in Jinja and how to move around the city. The rooms are clean and the security guardians at the gate are very helpful too. I would definitely recommend to stay in Bikeventures ☺️

    Isaac was a great host, met us on arrival at the gates and showed us around the beautiful property. The property was lovely and had great amenities. The view from the veranda was stunning and the pool was great. We took all our own food and drinks and cooked in the kitchen, which is well stocked with pans, crockery, cutlery, and utensils, but you can also order food. We did tubing on the Nile which was brilliant and were collected from and returned to the property.

    It’s a beautiful little well kept paradise! We probably had the greatest and most authentic curry ever and an amazing breakfast! It has a fantastic garden with a nice pool. Its quiet and the people who are working there are super caring and sweet! On our way to back to Uganda we will say hello again! Thank you for hosting us so beautifully!
