BF and I were backpacking and stayed here for a couple nights before our first safari, a few nights between the first and second safari, and for a few nights again after that second one. The owner arranged pick up from the airport and also from the main bus terminal in joburg. He helped us out with finding a place... More

Booked the hostel after reviewing the testimonials here and thought it would be good. The linen was filthy, as well as the bathroom. Very poor breakfast and far from everything. Will be more careful next time More

Stayed here for two nights on different dates. One only for a few hours (arrive late, left early) and another for about 24 hours. Never stayed in a 'hostel' before so wasnt quite sure what to expect but for £15 each my expectation was set quite low. The first night the room was relatively poor. Nothing wrong per-se, the bedding... More

We booked a double en suite room. The decor was a bit old-fashioned, but the room and certainly the bathroom are huge. Despite this fact, we prefer a door/curtain between the room and the bathroom. The owner is very friendly and the airport shuttle can be arranged after a short phone call. The breakfast was a bit poor and consisted... More

We have stayed here on two different trips to Africa one in 2007, the other 2009. On one trip we stayed here three times, another four since we were traveling in and out of airport area on way to parks and other countries. We like to cook our own food and for a reasonable fee one can get a ride... More

This was the worst place I stayed on my trip around SA. I didnt research the hostel, and was swayed by it's advertisement of "free airport shuttle" and "free internet" and booked it in a bit of a rush. I was picked up on arrival after spending 5 minutes using my UK mobile trying to understand where exactly I was... More

The hotel is very close to the hotel. It is ideal in case of short stopovers or just an over night stay. Pick up & drop facility is available. Credit cards are not accepted. More

I went to South Africa in April of '08 by myself (I'm a 29 year old American female). Johannesburg was not my final destination, but I had a 12 hour overnight layover until my next flight. I had never traveled alone, much less to Africa. I arrived at 11:30 at night after a 24 hour travel period. There was a... More

If you want to stay around JNB airport and wont like spend much, this is a good one. They have clean doubles in safe place just 10 minutes drive from the airport, FREE pickup (even at 1.00 am after delayed flight) and good local advise. Its a hostel, however, but we had just 9 hours in JNB and were only... More
