Please go here to use the pool (only 6000 UGX) but prices for eating and sleeping are really steep compared to what you get. The pool and drinks are good value, though! Popular hang-out amongst volunteers and peace corpsers on sunday afternoons. There is a reason for that!

On my way to the neighboring district of Kamuli for the burial of a friend, i planned to have my breakfast at Jinja Nile Resort. Getting to the Hotel we were asked to register our vehicle at the gate which we did. We entered the reception area some one who may have been a reception staff looked unconcerned as we... More

My family and that of a friend took the Easter long weekend break at the Jinja Nile Resort. The Hotel staff are very welcoming, we got goood rooms overloonking the Nile. The management is very professional. Breakfast is very good although, depending on the menu of the day, dinners can be disappointing at times. Apart from swimming, there was little... More

I stayed 4 nights at Jinja Nile Resort for a work conference. The resort is located just outside Jinja and easy to access coming from Kampala. The hotels is big with lots of rooms and conference facilities and I suspect they host a lot of these events. This also means that the place lacks a bit of atmosphere. Rooms are... More

Was over on business and got to spend the nite. at USD 180, it is pricey, the cuisine is continental. The poolside's amazing, especially considering the true riverside heat of the Nile valley. african nite dance troupe performed the nit i was there.....with smoking wicks and bambo torches for lights and a wicked barbecque.Perfect getaway for 2 or family outing....

Firstly this hotel was 180 USD a night......if the price was 60 USD a night this review would be so harsh!....... Upon arrival of an 8 week stay, we were firstly asked to pay our bill up front. Which I refused, and thank goodness I did! This hotel could be amazing! The location is superb but the money earns is... More

I stayed there one night and was disappointed. Staff was very friendly and service very slow, food and breakfast mediocre. Owner seems to withdraw money rather than investing, e.g. blouse of waitress was clean but had some holes. Poor girl!. With guests standing in the pool with bottles in the hands drinking beer, guest eating from their plates while having... More

Huge rooms, very quiet location but no air con and fans a bit too noisy. Mozzie net provided. Meals OK. Only wi-fi in public areas. Good but very expensive for what it is (USD 200 pp pn). Reasonable gym and massages available. I was only there one night and would like to have spent a bit more time there.

If you have the chance to stay at Jinja Nile Resort, which I would thoroughly recommend, then make sure that you request a room that has a direct view over the River Nile. From my room I could watch the black swirling waters, the fishermen in their canoes battling with the currents and red tail and vervet monkeys jumping around... More

I can really recommend the Jinja Nile Resort as a place to stay. The food, gym and service are wonderful, BUT the televisions in the room (and the channels) are disappointing. There are also no aircons in the rooms. The view (the Nile river) from our room was out of this world!! Staff also recommended river rafting and bungee jumping... More
