I love this place!!
I love this place!! I’ve stayed here before and decided then I would come back. The rooms are generous in size with a nice shower and seating area, and best of all the staff are very kind and accommodating. To be clear it’s not fancy by “Western” standards but more than comfortable and clean. I will stay here again.

Good accommodations and gracious host
John is a most gracious host and goes out of his way to see that you are cared for and comfortable. We have used this motel many times for our groups. This was the largest group to date - there were 16 of us. Check in was quick and easy. The motel staff is great. We will be there again next time we travel thru Entebbe.

It’s a little difficult to find, but it’s worth it. Habiba won’t hesitate to give you an opinion on things to do and places to eat. They set us up with local transportation and we really enjoyed our stay. Friendly, clean, unique and local. Great stay.

Great value for the money. Clean, nothing fancy. Good breakfast. But the friendliness of the staff and the free transfer from the airport (at 11 pm!) makes this a great deal

Great place to stay near Entebbe Airport
The J Residence Motel is excellent. I stayed there twice, once at the beginning of my Uganda stay for 2 nights and then 1 night at the end. The staff is what really makes the place special. The service is excellent, and they are super friendly. I highly recommend this place, and I hope to stay there again if/when I return to Uganda.

A nice stay was had at J Residence Motel
I stayed 2 nights at J Residence Inn upon arriving from the USA. Their free airport shuttle is fast and reliable. The staff at the hotel is excellent. I especially found Habiba and Lawrence to be very nice and helpful. Habiba sorted out my transportation to Kampala and back. The hotel is clean, comfortable and quiet. It's just what I needed after my long international flight.
