These guys were great. Nice, safe location, with some bars and clubs within walking distance. The staff was helpful beyond anything you could hope for. I would fully recommend this place to anyone. I would also recommend their Cape Town hostel as well.These guys were great. Nice, safe location, with some bars and clubs within walking distance.

Despite a short stay, I felt very welcome at home. The house is newly re-done and in a quiet suburb with some shops within walking distance.

This is a new hostel. Staff is really friendly and helpful. There weren't a lot of people yet, so come in groups! Breakfast is great and pretty cheap. You can also book tours at the hostel.This is a new hostel. Staff is really friendly and helpful. There weren't a lot of people yet, so come in groups! Breakfast is great and pretty cheap.

The hostel is new, so all is new and clean and the staff is very friendly. It is a good starting point for tours to soweto, pretoria and so on.
Unfortunately, the location is not the best. The hostel is situated in a quiet and rather boring area. There are practically no sightseeings which you can reach by foot or by public transports. So you need always a lift or a guide/driver to come around. Sadly the staff is not able to book a reliable airportshuttle for their guests.

Awesome hostel!!! Very clean and secure. This was the perfect place from which to explore the rest of Jo-Burg. The hostel its self offers very comfortable places to relax. Only minutes away from the airport and train station as well. Don't waste your time at any other hostel in Johannesburg. The beds were the most comfortable I've ever stayed in. Rooms are very clean and well designed befitting more the title of hotel than hostel. Further, the staff bent over backwards to help us! Very nice!Awesome hostel!!! Very clean and secure.
