Friendly staff. The 8 person dorm was very clean with good beds. The bathroom was a bit old with a loose sink and the toilet didn't have a seat. One of us forgot her watch and a necklace, and someone of the staff emailed me about that!

There were no power outlets in the room, there were dogs barking in the courtyard all night long, there were no towels or soap in the bathroom, and there was no wifi available.

Good enough hostel but was empty! When I arrived the place had no other lodgers so was lonely. The staff were friendly enough and location good with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. A mini bus on the next street took you straight into town for just 10 rands. My stay was fine but very somber due to a lack of people and thus no atmosphere. And there was no WiFi or breakfast provided either.
