Fat Cat Hostel | Kampala | Wade and Sarah
​Kampala is a bustling and energetic city that almost every visitor to Uganda will pass through at one time or another. While the city itself has a reputation for being one of the safest capitals in East Africa it’s even more reassuring to know that Fat Cat Hostel is located in one of the safest, cleanest and friendliest parts of the entire city.
 
Within a minutes walk of the hostel, visitors will find a large western shopping centre, a fantastic array of local and international restaurants and a variety of transport options allowing you to reach your next destination in a time and budget that best suits you!
​Fat Cat Hostel is run by a group of friendly local and expat staff who are always available to assist with any enquiries, hostel services or just to kick back and enjoy a beer with the guests at the end of the day. Fat Cat has several rooms to choose from, with two private rooms and dormitories ranging in size from four beds to eight.

​The dormitories are large rooms with high ceilings and beautiful big wooden beds, each covered by an individual mosquito net. There are plenty of power points throughout the rooms and enough room underneath the beds to store any personal belongings. A secure locker is also available at the front desk of the hostel for any valuable personal items.

​There are shared bathroom and shower facilities on both the upper and ground floors of the hostel. During our stay, the showers had reliable hot water and towels are available from reception for a small fee.
Fat Cat Hostel Review | Kampala | Wade and Sarah
Fat Cat Hostel Review | Kampala | Wade and Sarah
The hostel is kept spotless by the staff who work throughout the day to clean the rooms, make the beds and generally keep the place looking clean-as-a-whistle!
 
The comfortable lounge area not only provides guests with a relaxed place to use the Wi-Fi or read a book, but it also provides a wealth of information on other hostels, tours, destinations and activities throughout the country with plenty of brochures, maps and business cards so you can either make your arrangements from Kampala or take the information with you to make your decisions later! There is also a small DVD library and a shelf of second-hand books for sale at reasonable prices.
​The hostel offers extra services such as laundry, printing of documents and an airport pick-up/drop-off all for fair prices.
 
In a bustling city, with a great expat and traveller vibe, Fat Cat Hostel is a great place to kick back after a long day and chat with other guests.  Of course, it helps that the hostel offers a daily extended “Happy Hour” from 5 – 7pm where all beers are a measly 3500 shillings! As well as beer, the hostel also has water, soft drinks and coffee available for purchase throughout the day.
 
Fat Cat Hostel provides all the safety, comfort and facilities you want with an atmosphere sure to impress any visitor to this awesome, fun and trendy hostel!
