Managed by an Icelander who has been living in Uganda for more than twenty years, 2 Friends Beach Hotel is a very nice address. The rooms, close to a small exclusive swimming pool, are equipped with a fridge, mosquito net, teapot, TV and fan (or air conditioner). On the other side of the street, the hotel's attractive restaurant-bar is a quiet place (except on Saturdays when musicians are performing or sports events are broadcast) where it is nice to enjoy a freshly caught tilapia.

Getting decent accommodation in Entebbe for long term use is not easy and can be quiet expensive. This is partly because of the large UN personnel living and working in the town.
