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.

    The hotel has a beautiful view and a nice location in Jinja. It’s a small hotel with personal attention for its guests. This hotel made us enjoy Jinja and with the local organised activities, we could support locals instead of big tourist companies.

    Isaac was a great host, met us on arrival at the gates and showed us around the beautiful property. The property was lovely and had great amenities. The view from the veranda was stunning and the pool was great. We took all our own food and drinks and cooked in the kitchen, which is well stocked with pans, crockery, cutlery, and utensils, but you can also order food. We did tubing on the Nile which was brilliant and were collected from and returned to the property.
