At the hostel each room has air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a shower, a hairdryer and slippers. Every room has a kettle, while selected rooms are fitted with a balcony and others also offer mountain views. At Fort Motel every room comes with bed linen and towels.

The hotel is very compact but it has everything: the garden with trees and shrubs, the swimming pool, the sauna and hammam which are ready every day. The suite room was super comfortable: mosquito nets, the sockets in the right place, many places for storage of luggage and clothes, and surely the terrace. Staff is mostly friendly and helpful.

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.

    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.

    The hostel is located around 20 min walking from the city center, so you can reach it by walking or take the boda-boda. The view from the property and around is amazing. My room was comfortable and clean. The communication was also good.
