This was a very nice property with Lake Victoria access. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The shuttle driver was there to pick me up at the airport even at a very late hour. My room was ready and waiting. I would stay here again.

Stay here!

After staying one night, I had to stay again for a couple of more nights at the end of the trip. The service and the accommodations were great. It was also close to a mall and a craft market. They also include an airport shuttle which is very convenient.

The staff was so nice and friendly! The breakfast had lots of variety. It is walkable to a mall and also right next to the lake with many restaurants and bars to visit. We also went for a run and saw the botanical garden and zoo close by. We will recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

The staff at 2 Friends Beach Hotel are exceptionally friendly and very professional from the booking until check-out. The driver even waited for 3 hours because my flight was delayed to pick me up from the airport. My questions were answered immediately and any concerns or complaints are handled promptly. I stayed for 2 nights in a Pool/Lake View Room which was very clean, had a comfortable double bed, shower with hot running water, tv, spacious wardrobe with hangers, towels, mini fridge, water, coffee, tea, sugar, water boiler, cups and glasses. There was also a hair dryer, which I found just perfect for my hair and had not expected this little detail. Restaurants are nearby and even delicious snacks and drinks are served right at the hotel. I also loved the breakfast which had all you can think of from juice to pancakes and fruits, coffee, bread and tea. The pool is spacious enough to do a little bit of swimming and refreshing on a hot day. The area is quiet and you can hear the waves break at the shore of Lake Victora. Overall this made me relax and enjoy my stay very much. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe and well treated at this place. I can highly recommend 2 Friends Beach Hotel and will likely come back again on my future visits to Uganda. Thank you, Webale nyo

I have stayed at this hotel three times over the past few years. I enjoy the quality of service on the property and the peaceful atmosphere of the grounds. In previous years I was provide free pickup service and free transportation back to the airport following checkout. This time I was charged for the return trip which was a surprise to me. It would be good if there is a change in policy for tourists to be informed in advance. Perhaps adding this to the website and companion apps would avoid any surprises in the future. All in all, I had a good experience at this hotel and will return again when I need a rest stop between flights.

The hotel name definitely reflects its ethos!! Great friendly staff where nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is traditional and rustic. It’s an ideal spot to relax after a long flight. The restaurant opposite serves fabulous food at a good price. There’s a decent breakfast to start your day and an area by a small pool to chillax. We couldn’t fault this hotel. A great 2 night stay, thank you 🙏
