Hostel CURIOCITY Backpackers Johannesburg
302 Fox Street, Maboneng Precinct, 2029 Johannesburg, South Africa – Great location - show map
The property was safe and the hostel would book day trips.
United States of AmericaThe location was great! The staff were absolutely amazing! I booked some great tours through the hostel! It's a great place to meet good people. Hands down I would stay at Curiocity again!
United States of AmericaMy experience gets better with every stay. Running out of compliments to share with each review.
BotswanaIf you have discounts on Booking.com you can use that on this property. I arrived at night as opposed to daylight. I came across French, German and Chinese millennials. I have stayed at their Durban branch before and i was expecting the same "environment,decor" etc. The disappoint was no breakfast and no wifi. The Durban one, the receptionist tells you the opening times for breakfast and I was not given a tour of the place like what they do in Durban. i was just shown where my room was and bathrooms and that's it.
South AfricaWell I had prepared my own breakfast using the open chicken. Totally felt like I was home away from home even though my stay was short. I loved it
South AfricaStaff is friendly , easy check in and out , good kitchen facilities , comfortable beds , big rooms , perfect sharing area to meet travelers , safe street, loved my stay there!
EgyptBesides the good things I can say about sleeping in this hostel, the localization is also great, felt like the right spot to find design and food fair, restaurants and bars.
BrazilThe street and the staff. The place is clean and friendly.
BrazilGood and secure location, lovely staff, comfortable beds, have enjoy on the its bar-Restaurante.. everything ...
TurkeyThis places knows what backpackers want. They do their job right and have all the right facilities. Its a little more oriented to younger backpackers who like to party. I usually like smaller places..and maybe a different group of travellers. They have locked parking, which was great, and the location was safe enough, taking into consideration they are right in the center. The area needs a revival and places like these contribute to that. Well done and keep it up!
