The Fat Cat sits on the edge of Kisementi Square, home of some of the city's best diversions including a massive cinema, bars, restaurants and shops. We've even got 2 (yes, two) icecream parlors just down the road. Madness. If you want to do some work or just relax there are armchairs on the balcony, or you can sit in our breakfast area or lounge. We also have a book exchange and a massive roof terrace—with a bar—which might just be the best place in the city for a sundowner and is open at all times. Luckily for you, we also sell beers at reception. Soon, we’ll also be starting our FatCat BBQs.
It's the most centrally located backpackers in Kampala and offers great beds at great prices. Our facilities are basic but clean and well maintained, and our very pleasant staff (available 24/7) will do everything within reason to make sure that your stay in Kampala is lovely. Our rooms are mostly shared dormitories with between four and eight beds each, but we also have a few private double and triple rooms for friends, couples, partners – however you like or for just yourself if you want your own space!
