I stayed at this motel based solely on the reviews that have been written here on TA. I was in Arua, Uganda and was going to return to Entebbe about 18 hours before my flight left. I emailed the owner of the JRM (Habiba Kent) and asked him if he could arrange a ride for me from the bus station... More

Starting and ending our trip in Uganda at the J Residence was the best decision! We were picked up at the airport late at night, without a bother. Easy way to start. The motel is located on a quiet street and the garden patio in front was our favorite spot to start and unwind from the day. A hot shower... More

I have been through Entebbe multiple times and have been disappointed by hotels in the area. I tried this location based on reviews, but my experience left a great deal to be desired. Firstly, the hotel staff were wonderful. I was promptly picked up at the airport by a very nice gentleman. The front office staff were friendly and always... More

After a month in Uganda, arrived at J. Residence with my daughter on Easter weekend. The place is like a secret garden with a well watered courtyard. The surrounding wall and gate secure your stay beautifully. John welcomes his guests in a large gracious manner that speaks to his love for his country and people. He drove us to suppers... More

I choose to spend my pre flight overnight stay here due to the excellent reviews. I was not disappointed! The room was lush, the hotel communal areas very comfortable. The book was great, all done by email confirmation which suited my needs. The hotel were also very accommodating allowing my colleges to use facilities to shower before their earlier flight,... More

We stayed here a couple of times while transiting through Entebbe and Kampala and I would rate it right at the top for the Entebbe area choices. Despite the budget prices, the rooms have the feel of a four star hotel, and the service is outstanding. A good atmosphere where it is easy to meet the other guests. Especially good... More

This hotel is perfect for anybody travelling from or to the airport in Entebbe. Not just because it is clean and comfortable and excellent value for money, but because customer care is second to none. I needed more care than most as I got ill and was taken from the airport by ambulance to a medical centre. I really don't... More

If I could give this review 11 out of 10 then I would without hesitation . Stayed there recently overnight by default. The hotel's hospitality was second to none where nothing was too much trouble for staff. The owner John is a gem and went well beyond the call of duty when he spend half the night in a local... More
