Traveled with hostels and backpackers for over 1 year. This backpackers is one of the best accommodations. They have everything travellers want and need. Staff was so friendly, maybe more than a staff, like a friend. They were helpful as well. anything you need, just go to the receiption and ask. They will do all they can do for you.... More

I was fortunate enough to stay at the Amakaya for three days in September 2010.

The bunks were wide and comfortable and the decor very pleasant. The shower... More
