I stayed 1 night at Gately on Nile in December 2012. The staff were very friendly and the food was really nice. The room was a bit old, but comfortable and with a nice view.

I have stayed at Gately on the Nile numerous times during the last 6 years. The gardens are lovely with plenty of privacy and quiet spots to read and enjoy the view. The rooms (and I have stayed in a number of them) are clean, bright and airy with plenty of privacy, hot water and comforts. Each room and cottage is unique with authentic decor. The food is always creative and delicious, the staff is gracious and welcoming but never overbearing or pretentious. It is conveniently located within a few minutes of the Source of the Nile and the many sightseeing activities in the immediate area. I love visiting Jinja and will continue to stay at Gately on the Nile whenever I am in the area.

My husband and I have now stayed at the Gately on Nile for ten days during the last 4 years. We have always enjoyed our stay tremendously. The rooms are immaculate, the staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble, the food is delicious and we always enjoy our stay.

My husband and I were visiting our daughter, an engineer working with an NGO. We had a wonderful stay at the Gately. The food was superb, the location on the banks of the Nile extraordinary; if you like birdlife there were extraordinary birds including pelicans within the grounds. The hotel was very beautiful with friendly and courteous, smartly uniformed staff, African art on display including quirky maps and paintings, patterned tablecloths and a sweet gift shop. The laundry service was excellent and clothes were returned washed and ironed the next day. This was extremely useful as after our first night we went on a two-day safari which was a muddy enough business so it was great to be able to have the laundry dealt with immediately. The hotel is a great base for visiting the area, convenient to waterfalls, the source of the white Nile and where the ashes of Ghandi were scattered and all the local attractions such as Source cafe, Nile water activities. It was a terrific starting off point for our safari with Emma's tours, an amazing trip where we spent 2 nights under canvass and saw chimps in the wild and 4 of the big 5 (only missed the leopard which is of course very shy) within the 2 days. Breakfast on the terrace of this hotel was a daily delight, watching the action on the Nile with boats coming and going across the garden.
