First things first- they seem to be ONLY concerned with collecting the money upon your arrival, and then you should go fend for yourself.

After reading some reviews I regretted booking my stay here but decided to go ahead having read horrible reviews of places before and finding the place perfectly alright. However all previous reviews were correct, this place is horrible. Stayed here for three nights and dreaded going back to the hostel every night. Staff were unhelpful, the area did not feel... More

Stayed in a private room during World Cup. Booking: The staff was nearly impossible to reach by email and sent me answers to other people's questions. They made us prepay by wire transfer as they don't accept credit card but couldn't confirm the booking despite 5+ emails. Staff: The reasons for the booking problems became clear as the staff is...

The area surrounding the hostel is not very safe at night and there is no where to eat nearby. If you don't have a car make sure you stock up on food before it goes dark. There is a petrol station across the road with a limited range (crisps, water etc.). The airport pick up was quoted as R100 on... More

This was the worst place I have stayed in years. My heart sank when I saw it and my bed was cold and damp. The breakfast was merely a few slices of bread left lying around and an old toaster. The worst thing was that when I asked the guy who picked us up from the airport to arrange a... More
