I just stayed for one night and had no problems. The owner is a nice man who came to welcome us as soon as we arrived. I would reccommend the hostel at least for a one night stopover.

Thank you for the excellent service, hospitality and friendliness. This is a very warm and welcoming hostel. The facilities were super comfortable and clean. The cottage in the garden was fantastic. It really felt like being in the country. I enjoyed staying here very much and will recommend the place to my friends.

These guys were absolutely fantastic. They went out of their way to make us welcome and help us with bookings and advice. Right in the City centre with everything you want. Could catch up with some shopping. Would definitely recommend this place.

After a long trip we were warmly greeted. Great hospitality from all the staff and it was very interesting talking to Beauty. The beds were good and there was hot water all the time. Stanley Street was amazing with all the different restaurants and buzzing nightlife. Definitely do the full day Addo and Schotia Safari if safaris. We saw a large number of animals and the guides were awesome.
