Guest Reviews
- JOEL (7/5): -
- Petri (7/5): Excellent location - Very nice. Food is great. Specially the curries.
- Jamie (1/5): God awful. - Nothing. Misleading in the worst ways. Booked a room that said it had a bathtub, balcony, king size bed, additional hot tub. Literally none of it was true. I guess except for the bed. Ridiculously misleading advertising and poor response.
- Treasure (10/5): -
- Onyango (10/5): Great Value for what you pay.... - Rooms are very big and maintained, more than expected. staff is very polite, breakfast is very good. the atmosphere is very quite and relaxing. Absolutely liked everything about this hotel. I highly recommend it.
- Allan mukisa (10/5): Super nice hotel! - Super nice hotel! Great hotel. Everything was nice. I would surely choose it again next time I visit Jinja. Great location, great service, friendly staff. Good value for the money. Breakfast was delicious. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend Thank you!

- Peter (8/5): - Good location on Main Street with a very good restaurant inside hotel.
- Glenz (6/5): Pleasant - Good location, nice room and good breakfast. No kettle, cups, plates, utensils.
- Hisae (1/5): Just a place to sleep, paying a high price - Place was okay to look around souvenir There was almost nothing in the room, the refrigerator didn't cool at all, there was no kettle, no bathrobe, no shampoo, no soap.
- Joana (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and helpful.

- Eva (8/5): Very good -
- David (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were very attentive!!! Nothing.
- Nick (6/5): Pleasant -
- Nick (6/5): Pleasant -
- Meraki (6/5): Pleasant - Accessible A bit expensive
- Bill (6/5): Ok place no bar. - In town First room 204 had not been cleaned properly the cupboards had so much dust we were eventually moved to another room which was ok
- Fredrik (7/5): Good value compared to other places in Uganda I’ve been to - Water pressure in the shower was good. The “on demand” water heater worked. The area was VERY noisy. The general standard was not what you’d expect for that price anywhere else in the world.
- Anonymous (7/5): Good -
- Robert (7/5): not bad for what I paid - the location the room was very old fashioned
- Anonymous (9/5): relaxing great hotel great staff - security was good nice open lobby and restaurant on sight rooms were clean and comfortable . The prices for extra family guests at the restaurant was a little high
- Mitchell (8/5): Very good -
- Kenneth (2/5): - Although the photos look great, there were numerous things that caused us to check out early. There was only 1 stained towel, no hand towel, just a single bath towel for 2 people. The bed was uncomfortable. TV did not work. WiFi did not work.
- Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant -
- Queen (8/5): all was okay - location no Flat irons in rooms
- Mutumba (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaaziyah (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jaaziyah (6/5): Pleasant -
- Ronnie (7/5): Good -
- Ravi (2/5): - Avoid at all costs. Rooms are nothing like the photos, they smell very bad and overall just terrible. It's what you'd expect in a hostel.
- Timothy (8/5): Very good -
- Franz (8/5): A clean, good hotel - Very friendly staff. Hotel is placed in the middle of the city, so a good starting point for tours around jinja. Clean rooms, warm shower and clean bathroom. Hotel is easy up to three stars. Wifi was only available in some rooms, maybe a stronger or better router?
- Dmitry (5/5): Passable -
- Adam (10/5): Good quality and location. - Cant really complain much. It has everything you need. Hot water and nets on windows. Windows are soundproof. Everyday cleaning. Restaurant is ok but a bit slow. Reception is friendly and pro. Prices are ok. The only thing that was annoying is the disco bar behind the hotel so be ready to fall asleep at 3am on weekends. Fridge in the room and kettle.
- ALI (6/5): - Hotel looks good from outside, clean, friendly staff. But needs some work inside. There’s no WiFi, the 2 staff we asked tried to manually enter a WiFi address but nay. Mosquito net torn in multiple places and would never seal the bed. Also gives the very basic service-no face towels, no wash clothes, and just one towel for each of us two. No shampoo,no conditioner, no body lotions, just 2 pieces of bar soaps. The key card also puts on and off the lights by inserting in its slot next to the door. To turn out the lights, you remove the card out but be prepared to walk in darkness to your bed and from your bed to the card slot to turn on the lights if you need to. We verified the lights with staff who confirmed no switch except for bathroom light. We loved the breakfast.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - I arrived at the Hotel from Kampala after Sunset and filled in the check in form and soon after that trouble started. The hotel staff have never heard of orbitz. They never listened to any of my pleas. I was literally thrown out of the Hotel and had to drive all over town til i found a small guest house by the roadside, Bilkon Hotel, that is where I spent the night. No food no cup of tea. Choose Igar Plaza Hotel at your own peril. The worst hotel i have ever visited on planet earth
- muammer (10/5): everything was perfect - I stayed at the hotel for 11 days. we were very pleased. everything was perfect. staff was friendly. next year, my choice will be igar.
- Spencer (10/5): Igar the Place to Stay - The place to stay in Jinja. Source of Nile is 2000 UGX ride away. Excellent breakfast buffet. I arrived in Jinja 20 days ahead of booking date due to work schedule change, the Hotels.com app was not working, nor would the website let me change/cancel. Igar let me check in early and allowed me to call Hotels to cancel and rebook my room later that afternoon. 5 STAR service and patience. Small supermarket at bottom of hotel. Comfortable bed and pillows with working a/c. Choose Igar over all others. Three blocks down is The Deli, a coffee shop/ restaurant with Western style food. Europeans, Americans and Expats all eat there.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - We liked that it was located in such s lively area. The hotel was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I liked that there is a small grocery in right next door The slight hardships were-the A/C unit blew out very cold air but the room was still not that cool. The hotel was very nice for a developing area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Centrally located Jinja town hotel - Great centre of town hotel well maintained with good spacious cafe and restaurant.
- Steve (10/5): - The fastest Wifi. The staff was very helpful. Clean modern rooms with a good breakfast at their restaurant. Underground parking and easy walk to pubs in the area. A jewel in an old quaint town.
- Francois (10/5): - My recent stay in the Igar Plaza Hotel we such a uplifting experience from the front desk to the parking lot attendant in the hotel's basement to the maintenance manager and cleaner of my room. There were no issues at all. I can highly recommend the Igar Plaza Hotel as a base for any visitor to Jinja. Their central location in Main street added to the convenience of being within two blocks from Jinja's highly acclaimed Indian restaurant Moti Mahal. I found Jinja's Moti Mahal superior to New York's first avenue Moti Mahal.
- Kathryn (8/5): Nice hotel - As expected. Nice place for a business trip.
- Jana (10/5): Very clean and super friendly! - Very nice hotel in the center/main street of Jinja! It has very friendly staff, that were very helpfull with my needs and questions. Very big room, super clean, hot water and a very nice restaurant/Cafe to chill at. Definetly recommend staying here!
