I think the water situation in the area is not good, it would be great to know and prepare your mind for that so one isn't rattled by it.

The staff were helpful and pleasant. The room was quiet enough to sleep in despite the loud music you hear in the lobby coming from the street. So that's great too 👍🏽

Prepare yourself for power outage for three hours - it's common in SA (it's not a hostel fault!) Also be careful if you wanna walk around the district.

Staff, events and price. Everyone is really loves to talk to you and trying to help.

Electricity cut offs were quite often,which is not fault of hostel but its almost everywhere.Liquid soaps should be filled in bathrooms as hygene is important in a place where many people shares.Finally,don't try to walk out of Maboneng much,especially to/from park station,take Uber for your safety

In the heart of Joburg in Maboneng district,lots of cafes and bars around.Staff is amazing,so helpful.Security of hostel is really good.there is a bar inside where locals and travellers come together.highly reccomend

There is no actual parking lot.

The staff was amazing and the facilities are good, though there are a few minor details which can easily be addressed.

Location which is quite sad, for me it was quite a shock that the CBD is not in a good location. It does not feel safe walking anywhere in the vicinity of the hostel. To walk to the toilet, I had to walk through the open area and it became quite difficult at night when it was raining heavily. The walking tour was very good, but I also thought it was quite expensive (1100 rand) They charged me 500 Rand for the airport shuttle, and I had to wait one hour because another hotel guest was to be picked up. While I quite enjoying meeting the other guest, I thought the rate was very high for a shared shuttle with one hour waiting when Uber was charging around 200 Rand at that point in time. When I booked a car, the hostel did not share with me that it was a shuttle and not a private car and that an hour's waiting will be involved. However I guess one feels safer on arrival to use a vehicle sent by the hostel. While returning I didnt use their shuttle but called an Uber car which charged me just about 110 Rand for dropping me to Joburg airport.

Genuinely friendly and efficient staff Lots of activities for guests to mingle Kitchen facility is good, I could use it to make some porridge or some quick eat meals The room was fairly comfortable and clean I mainly booked the place so that I could take their tours and I indeed did the Soweto Walking Tour which was good

It was too noisy for me. I am 53 years old female travelling alone. I did not feel safe. I wanted to walk out but I have returned back. Even Uber drivers did not want to come. My personel comments. Sorry. Probably I made wrong choice.

Nice place. Too many different people to meet. I loved the restaurant. Nice food.

The area.

Having a room for me without sharing with anyone else.

Area is really loud at night, and even in a private room you will need earplugs.

Great base for exploring Johannesburg - really friendly and helpful staff and common areas all excellent, including fun bar.

Stayed in December 2023

Staff was great and night entertainments as well so you can make many new friends

I don’t know really…. Cause it’s a guest house so it’s just the way it is

It’s chilled and safe, good when coming alone for some peace of mind as it’s a calm place and the staff is beautiful 😍 and they really are friendly, would definitely come back again

It is very noisy during the night due to the bar activity. The breakfast from the restaurant is horrible and bad quality for the price. But I recommend going to the Social Table 5 minutes away by walking where they serve nice breakfast and food. Also Bertrand‘s restaurant next door is nice

Great excursions to explore Joburg. Great bar where locals and tourists mingle and where you always can have a nice chat. In the evening there are nice events in which you can experience local bar culture. Extremely friendly staff. They even went to the doctor with me!!!

The music was a bit too loud late in the evening/night.

Nice atmosphere. Super friendly staff. They offer great tours. Laundry service for a good price and was fast. Good location.

Lovely neighbourhood (just ask the staff where to go and where not to go) Staff are very friendly and helpful with enquiries The inner city and downtown tour is amazing - learnt a lot from the guides! Clean rooms & bathrooms Lots of activities available throughout the weekend

Mixed 6-bed-dorm is a small room, beds are less comfortable and make loud noise when moving. The dorms with more beds are much bigger with more space.

Maboneng is a nice district, recommended to explore with one of the guided walking tours. The hostel has an amazing atmosphere, met really interesting people there. Don't miss great breakfast or dinner from their cook :)
