Sunset International Hotel

Went Jinja for a business deal spent some time with team over hotel had a nice time food was good along with service and staff were good friendly with a charming face always ready to help nice hospitality received.

I have stayed here every December since 2014, the most exciting part of this is, i always check in late but somehow i have ended up getting the same room all the times. The view is breath taking and the breakfast was really wonderful.only sad part was being told to go to the next hotel for swimming. otherwise this is a really lovely place

Lunch in the terrace room overlooking the Nile was stunning! The hotel is very well cared for and has air conditioning in the room!!! There was mold in the bathroom and wish my linens would have been a little fresher but overall was a great stay.

While the hotel was only average due to the attendant turning off the air-conditioning every time they cleaned the room, it was a decent room for the money. The food was very good however, with the Chinese dishes being especially good. The Chinese food was the best Chinese I have ever had the pleasure of eating.

I love this place. The food is good and the view is unbelievable. The chinese chef is elusive but the chinese food is great. It's always reassuring when the chinese chef is in. Great place altogether.

It is just like home to me in Uganda and everyone is so helpful and friendly and it is just nice to be there. The food is good especially if they cook the breakfast for you personally and so is the evening meal. I like my room, I usually have the same one and the air-con is very useful

Our recent trip to Uganda was very successful. We travel there every two years, and always stay at this hotel, because of the security and the safe food. We had some extremely nice wait staff in the restaurant, and the housekeeping staff was constantly working to keep everything clean and pleasant. The room was comfortable and fairly roomy, and on the ground floor. Some of the upstairs rooms were hard to find because of the many staircases. Overall, it is very pleasant for Buzungus (plural for Muzungu). Free wifi in the common areas.

Stayed here for 4 nights in total and the hotel staff couldn't do more than enough. They were dedicated to please guests. Bit disappointed that the outside of my hotel room (room 55) had all the hotel washing hanging on the line...! Food was good, I had to buffet-type meals and all food was piping hot and there was a good variety mixing traditional, local dishes with westernised meals. The location is fantastic! River Nile boat cruises can be easily accessed by the steps to the River Nile. Bit disappointing that there is no pool and you have to pay to use next doors hotel but the view of the sunset really does give this hotel its title- Sunset Hotel.

We travelled to Jinia for five or seven nights as part of a charity trip with my sixth form a pretty big group. Jinja isn't renowned for it's hotels which is understandable, we were greeted with a warm welcome and then shown to our rooms, very small with little space to relax into, bathroom was dreadful have to say a real haven for mozzies at night. The location really helps the place as at breakfast and dinner it's evident that this is it's main attraction. The food was better than expected with high security which was very satisfying as the area is charming but slightly rough. This hotel does need some serious investment and some refurb to make it wondeful as it's very dated but all you basics are there. Also we watched the World Cup Final there which shows how good the TV is! :)

As others have mentioned, Jinja isn't really known for its nice hotels. That being said, I would definitely recommend this hotel. We stayed for almost 2 weeks while on a business trip. Rooms- the rooms vary quite a bit. My first room had a big 4 post bed with a mini fridge, and was pretty spacious. The bathroom, though, had a tiny tub and a showerhead that was so low that it only came up to my chin. However, I asked to switch rooms because I was on the 2nd floor, close to the road. I moved up to the third floor. My room was smaller, but had a much nicer view of the river. The bed was so comfortable! It has a mosquito net. The bathroom in this room was better, with a normal-height showerhead. You had to run the water for a while to get the hot water to come out, but once it did, it was constant. There was a TV in the room, but it didn't work. I didn't try the air conditioner because I never felt like I needed it. Service- the service was AMAZING! Everyone was so nice and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Food- the complimentary breakfast was really good. It always consisted of eggs, baked beans, chips, sausage, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and juice. We asked the restaurant to do a packed lunch for us each day, as we were spending our days working in rural communities. The packed lunches were delicious and convenient. We also ate dinner at the hotel several nights. We enjoyed everything we tried. The menu is huge! The only disappointment was that the chef who could cook Chinese food was hardly ever there. The prices at the restaurant are very reasonable. Internet- the internet in the lobby and restaurant worked well. It was slow at times, but we always had access. The internet in the rooms, though, was completely dependent on which room you were in. My colleague had a wireless router just outside her room, so she had constant access. I was only 2 rooms down, and had no access at all. If internet in your room is important to you, ask to test the room before you commit. Location- The hotel overlooks the water, so the views are gorgeous. As the name implies, the sunsets are spectacular! The hotel is next door to another hotel, which has a pool and gym. It's not too far from the main street in Jinja (though you most likely would need to drive to get there). Overall, if you need a place in Jinja, I would recommend Sunset.
