I'm here as I type this, and this place is terrible. I've been in tons of hostels/backpackers the last few weeks that were much better for cheaper. I got here, reception had no idea what was going on, 3 different TVs were blasting 3 different channels, and all the guests seemed stoned. I've learned to ignore the hostel partying if... More

Actually stayed there in 2011. Best guesthouse we stayed in when in durban. Vibrating place, safe neighbourhood, pooltable, pool, friendly staff, close to some good restaurants, ... would definitely recommend it!

Could be a great hostel, but my dorm room REEKED! I had a sweater that i left in the room for less than 24 hours that picked up an AWFUL odor. It was so bad I didn't even want to take it with me. Other than that the hostel is fun and the staff is friendly and helpful, but I... More

The only good thing about this hotel is the location. I have never written a review good or bad so this is a first. I checked out approximately 30 mins after checking in. I arrived late to be greeted by a roudy drunken letchy red faced goggled eyed crowd on a Tuesday. I would say that 70% were male and... More

Durban After we landed in Johannesburg we imidately drove to Durban which was a long drive but we only had good roads so that made it confortable. We didn't actually know how to search for a place to sleep in Durban and our only criteria was that the hostel had to be in a safe neighborhood. I found tekweni hostel... More

Tekweni is in a great location in Durban and has a very social vibe. They had a bring and braai one night and have a bar which is great if you're a solo traveller looking to meet others. The bed was a little uncomfortable but the atmosphere at the hostel more than makes up for it. The bathrooms were also... More

I stayed here a few times in 2009 + in 2011, I love the place and the staff are great, lots to do around 'Thunder Road' had a few wild nights in and out! The kitchen is great and well equipted and the TV room is good for chilling and watching a bit of TV.

I stayed for one night at Teks in a twin room. I loved the place, it has an awesome vibe, is in a safe part of Durban, walking distance from restaurants, bars and shops. The staff are very friendly. The night we were there, they had a free braai going with complimentary rolls and salads, you just brought your own... More

If party is your scene then you have found your place, but if you don't like to party then DO NOT stay here. When all the reviews say party they mean it. Despite reviews about it my friend and I decided to try staying here. It was pretty much like staying in a bar. The music went loud until about... More
