Located in Fort Portal, a 14-minute walk from Toroo Botanical Gardens Fort Portal, Yes Hostel provides accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Huge hostel with lots of rooms. Was shoulder season so had a six bed dorm to myself. Good hot showers and very clean overall. Lovely views from garden and outside eating area. Reasonable price.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Five-star service. The staff, especially the receptionist Medius goes the extra mile. She went in town extra to buy a Jackfruit for me and fish for dinner. As a guest you feel very welcomed and they take care about you. And it’s all about customer service nowadays. A good location up on a hill, quiet and just 3 km in town. Very good value for money. Safe parking and security. Highly recommended.

    Comfortable, good-value beds and good, reasonably priced meals in a nice, leafy-green location with a beautiful view near the botanical gardens north of the city centre. The bicycles available for rent are in good condition, just make sure the tyres are pumped up. Kyaninga Lodge on Lake Kyaninga is a very steep, gorgeous 8 km bike ride from the hostel, and they'll let you in to swim in the beautiful lake if you buy a drink.
