Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

- Avg. price/night: £112.81Review scoreVery good · 150 reviewsOur 3-bed pent house overlooked the pool and palmy garden area. The upstairs bedrooms had a fantastic view of the city spread over Kampala’s many hills. We loved everything. Facilities, ambience, food, service. Safe. Great location. Spotlessly clean. Friendly and helpful staff. Mohammad the Ugandan waiter at the restaurant was super attentive to us. Thank you to Muhammad. We had massages and nails done by the Eric and his friendly staff at the salon. Thanks Sammy, Liz and Robin.Guest review byJulietFamily with young children

They felt like one small family, taking care of us backpackers! the property was in the heart of the city! everything going on: from street food, to night clubs! the streets are alive at the night time! completely different vibe than in the morning daytime 🤣. really hospitable- i needed directions to travel out of Kampala, and Emmanuel peter (the person on duty) helped me to get out of Kampala safely.

Unfortunately, some of the famous nearby nightlife such as Bubbles O'Leary's has closed or moved further away, but the hostel's bar & restaurant themselves are clearly a populat nightspot with locals.Guest review byLorenSolo traveller
