Great staff. Clean. Either noisy locals or backpacker guests at 04:30hrs onwards, so got up. Checked with another guest and said the same as me. It happens from time to time.

Hi Colin, sorry to hear that there were noisy guests who disturbed your sleep. We are usually a very quiet Backpackers. Thank you for your review.
Ideal cheap and close option for international cricket”
Stayed in one of the huts with double bed for 7 nights. The hut was fine, till the rain of the last 24-hours or so which seeped through gaps in the walls and pooled on the floor. The shared bathroom was fine, except being built under an existing dwelling you've got to be careful not to hit your head on the joist. A security guard watches the front of the property, which made parking a car there for one night less stressful as it’s on-street parking only. I’d recommend it as a cheap option for following the cricket at St George’s.

Hi Richard, sorry about the water in the room. I will attend to this immediately. Yes the bathroom under the house is a bit low so I use the other two bathrooms and leave that for the shorter people. Thank you for staying with us and hope to see you again.

Good value for money. The student who works there is so friendly and helpful. She mad so many phone calls to find out a plan for me. She is amazing you just tell her what your ideas are of what you want to do and she will figure out a way of how to do it.

I spent three nights there and I was basically alone. There were few other people whom I've never actually met so it's maybe not the best place to stay at as a solo traveler. The staff was quite friendly and helpful and the area seems quite safe at daytime.

Hi Nina, Thank you for choosing us. I am glad our staff were accommodating as they are our best asset. A Backpackers is a great place to meet new people and I see there were 18+ guests staying in the Backpackers when you were there.

The location is okay, but it happened to stay with a group of Indians. At 6 o'clock in the morning, there was a loud voice outside.

Hi Cen, thank you for staying with us. I am sorry you were disturbed so early in the morning but that is one of the drawbacks of staying in a Backpackers.
No no no”
It's a communal house so the rooms,don't have bath rooms and there isn't parking you have to park your car on the the street and there isn't security to watch the car

Hi Jayseelen, thank you for your feedback. You are quite correct that it is a communal Backpackers and we state clearly that the bathrooms, lounge and kitchen are shared. You may be glad to know that We now have 24 hour security. This means that even though you cars are parked on the street they will be safe. This does not indicate that the area is unsafe. On the contrary. However there are times, though not often, when someone sees an opportunity and breaks into a vehicle, which is an annoyance and a cost. Now this will not happen and you can enjoy your holiday or business trip.

I got value for my money considering the amount I paid was less than R200 per night. This is a good place especially if you are a solo traveler. It is centrally located. Though their facilities like bathrooms, toilets and kitchen are communallly shared, they are very clean. One thing you must take note of is that they prefer only cash at reception, no card. Otherwise do yourself a favour and book online to reduce inconveniences.

Hi Mqhelisi, Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure having you stay with us. We hope to see you again soon. Sorry about the card issue but sometimes Paybridge does not want to accept debit cards. Thank you for understanding.
Sehr einfach aber eben auch günstig ”
Vom Flughafen etwa in 7 Min mit Taxi erreichbar, was ca. 70 Rand kostet. Das Hostel ist eher einfach. Dafür großes Bad mit Dusche, was man für sich hat. Nur doof, wenn es voll ist. Mitarbeiter sind nur hilfsbereit auf Nachfrage. Ansonsten mehr Verwaltung. Für eine kurze Nacht okay, länger würde ich nicht bleiben.
