Central YMCA
This is a well-appointed, central hostel. Good-value rooms, reasonable food, swimming pool, tennis courts and aerobics studio make this more akin to a small hotel than a traditional YMCA though.

Iqbal Hotel
This is a popular traveller's haunt that is basic, but clean and friendly. Front rooms are a little noisy, but all are secure and there is hot water available in the mornings. A cheap laundry service, secure left-luggage facilities and an information and safari-booking desk are additional benefits.

Unfortunately the adjacent area is not safe to walk around at night.
