there was a robbery in the hostal 3 hours after we landed there, two rooms were broken into by prior guests and had a lot of things stolen.. so i cant say i felt very safe there. I think we were lucky to have left with all our things. There was also none of this musical ambience they spoke about on the site and I found the staff to be quite dry. Also try not to stay in a room at the front of the house as the road outside has a lot of traffic and its loud..

"AMAZING STAY!!!!"

I had booked this place due to the fact that we would really be travelling on a budget and that Airport transfers would be included. I arrived to find out that I had to pay this extra fee as the management/ownership had changed to SLEEK Backpackers. Fortunately no other financial woes awaited me.

ne mettez pas les pieds dans cet endroit ;chambre avec cloison fabriquée en portes d'armoire en melaminé dans un hotel contenant un nombre inimaginable d'ouvriers qui, les pauvres, se levent a 4h et preparent leurs repas donc vous reveillent automatiquement'( lorsque vous avez la chance de vous etre endormi malgré les ronflements ) endroit tres sale chambre cuicine et sanitaires
un espoir subsiste c'est en cours de rénovation

From what I understand most of the Backpackers in JHB are exclusively for International client's it was realy refreshing to meet so many people from Africa.
They where realy friendly and open.
The Tours they sent me on where great
Thanks
