    Jinja Grand Hotel is located in an area that is easily accessible. It is easy to get the transport providers to take you to the place. I loved their rooms and staff. The team was quite hospitable. It was actually like a home away from home.

    I would recommend this to anyone who wants simple comfort and convenience without alot of fuss. They take Visa and multiple forms of payment The team managed expectations very well. No complaints/no surprises!

    Walking distance to Main Street but down the hill enough so that it's quiet. The staff clearly communicated everything, the breakfast was delicious and served in the morning after alerting the front desk, the bed was very comfy and I enjoyed the fan for some white noise and humidity relief.

    Light in toilet was broken. Staff tried to repair but failed. Room a bit noisy as next to reception

    Cheap hotel near to town centre. Room was fine. Some challenges but Service was good. Cook left early - so remaining staff prepared very good dinner. Left at 6.30 am but staff prepared early breakfast at 6.

    Feel at home atmosphere

    I believe the shower has to be fixed a little. There was warm water but it was not able to direct it toward me. It was spraying everything around :) (and wetting my toilet paper) and It would be nice if there were a separate light for the bathroom.

    We were warmly welcomed and we really enjoyed comfortable beds as we were very tired. The pillows were nice and soft! The hotel has a feel at home atmosphere, and we enjoyed that. In the evening we were asking what they are cooking and ordering accordingly. For the breakfast, it is usually an omelette accompanied in one day by potato wedges and the other by cassava. All served nice and clean. We adored a huge avocado tree in the compound - perfect place for breakfast or just sitting in the shade. A fan in the room is essential equipment in January (the hottest month) and I was glad it was there, we also received plug-in repellent for the room. Bathroom clean, Ugandan style but with sitting toilet, and slippers were provided. I loved the location of the hotel, walking distance from the main street but in a quiet surrounding allowing you to hear birds chirping in the morning.

    Wi-Fi wasn't available. There is no restaurant menu for dinner, you eat according to what is in the kitchen. I found this a little inconveniencing

    It is in a quiet place. The staff are responsive. And it is a very clean facility.
