Featuring lake views, Home On The Nile Ernest Hemingway Suite offers accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a bar, around 6.9 km from Jinja Railway Station.

The suite was very comfortable and clean with everything you need (good shower, fridge, lots of space) and a great view and balcony area overlooking Lake Victoria. We really enjoyed the bar and terrace area where we played games, had drinks and had a nice breakfast both days. The staff were very friendly and David the host was very accommodating, joining us for games and drinks! There is also a sheet with many activities to do in Jinja along with numbers to arrange, which we found very helpful.

    This place was amazing. The hosts made our stay personal and comfortable. The location is out of the way for peace and quiet but still a short drive to the centre. Rooms were spacious and very clean.

    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 ☺️

    Warm welcome by our host to a beautifully designed bed & breakast. Nice lounge and outside patio to relax and enjoy the peace & quiet . Beautiful room, with large bathroom, all spotlessly clean with all amenities necessary for an overnight stay. Individual choices of Lovely fresh breakfast, served at a time to suit . This place exceeded our expectations, and we will return again soon.

    Great location close to town and restaurants but the property feels like it is outside the city with lots of great space. It is a quiet oasis.
