Some staff super friendly, others not so much. Very weird smell in the kitchen. Compared to many other places in South Africa, the WIFI was great though.

Lovely people, excellent place to stay!
We stayed in a double bed room. Excellent room, nice people. Always friendly, keep everything clean, always five you a hand when you need help and give you some advice.
Good restaurants and bars are also only 2 blocks away. The hostel is clean and in a quiet street. Parking lots inside the walls, so the car is save.
Yes, it is still a hostel (no 5 star hotel), but a great one!
You can use the kitchen, the fridge and they even have a bar for a cold drink and a nice talk ;)

Kleine aber liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer
Zimmer sehr klein aber liebevoll eingerichtet. Poolwasser war bei uns nicht wirklich einladend. Aber alles in allem wars chillig da in der Umgebung alles zu Fuß zu erreichen ist und in die innenstadt sind es mim Taxi nur ca. 15min.
