The hostel was great. Clean and conveniently located to the gautrain to the airport. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The restaurant and bar attached is a fun place to hang out or just have a drink and a meal. We stayed in a private, twin room, which was clean and spacious.

This was our first time in Africa and we were a bit hesitant to book a place “in town” but we read about the Braamfontein neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. We are SO glad we did! The area felt very safe, with tons of students, cafes and bars around. The private room we booked was very modern with a great shower, balcony, comfy beds and strong A/C The staff were incredible, super friendly and there to help with anything we needed. The “Hop On Hop Off” bus picks up right in front which I HIGHLY recommend doing since it takes you to all of the cool places in town. The hostel has a wonderfully huge communal 1st floor with a kitchen, pool table, games, cinema room and tons of couches. The breakfast was also delicious (eggs, bacon, toast, fresh OJ, cappuccino) and so was the burger and fries I had at the restaurant. Great vibes all around at this place, I would highly recommend this place to anybody visiting JoBurg!

The location is great for the markets and the bars. It’s definitely a little sketchy in the evening if you venture too far off the main path. Overall, loved the location.

Modern and clean hostel. There is a nice place to go just crossing street - The Orbit - good restaurant for lunch (beef and vegetables... go for it), best jazz bar in the city at night.

It is right next to the Saturday Neighborhood market.

We had a triple room and it was very good. Comfy beds and good warm showers. Good breakfast. The restaurant downstairs is ok. We took the soweto+apartheid museum excursion through the hostel and it was well worth the 1100 rands.

Great facility with a happy atmosphere especially if you enjoy meeting new people, always stay here whenever I am making a quick stop over in joburg. The Wifi however gets worse with each stay, you only get connection in the lobby.

We loved that they booked a Jazz concert for us at the Orbit!

    “We had a triple room and it was very good. Comfy beds and good warm showers. Good breakfast. The restaurant downstairs is ok. We took the soweto+apartheid museum excursion through the hostel and it was well worth the 1100 rands. ”

    “Great facility with a happy atmosphere especially if you enjoy meeting new people, always stay here whenever I am making a quick stop over in joburg. The Wifi however gets worse with each stay, you only get connection in the lobby.”
