Lovely place to stay! Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and the free breakfast is good. The roof terrace and living room make it feel like home, also good to meet fellow travellers. Would definitely stay again!

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.

    Great location in the upscale Kololo neighbourhood. 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.
