“I highly recommended it”
I liked everything, from the staff to the cleanliness. The location is excellent, close to a busy street filled with restaurants. The hostel is clean, and the best part is the staff. The guy from reception desk was so kind that I felt like as I was at home. He invited all guests to joint a barbecue and was always very friendly.

“Solid location, friendly staff, good VfM”
My main concern before coming to Jozi was safety, but this hostel is situated in one of the safer neighbourhoods. Have good sense when you're out and you'll have no reason to worry. No safety concerns at the hostel itself as it is walled/gated Beds are comfy and modern, each equipped with electrical outlets + a drawer that can be locked with a padlock The place is clean, and toilets/showers were always in good condition The staff working here were super friendly and professional
