• Everister (1/5): Great place but this time around I wasn't happy - I've been to the hostel before and I love how it looks and all that it's pretty There was a sound the geyser made and we couldn't sleep and in the morning there was no hot water...that was so disappointing cos if they knew the geyser was broken they should've moved us to a different room.
• Bester (10/5): Enjoyable, staff very friendly and helpful, very neat and clean kitchen and bathrooms - Location great, the stay did not include breakfast There was just some confusion about the name.
• Jerry (5/5): I just want my refund, it's been almost 2 months now since I cancelled the last day. - I still haven't received my refund for the last day. When I messaged the owner they never replied, not even until now.

It is quite a dream , I can not say anything else. I am so happy here that I am staying for another 15 days . Thank you so much . This a perfect place . Nothing
• Makhobeng (9/5): Superb - It was central to johannesburg to the church I was attending The whole place The set up is old but I can see that there are some improvement and renovations taking place. Next time I hope it will be up to standard
• Aubry (10/5): A pleasant experience thanks to the friendliness of the Staff - Glendah, Freezi and Salome. - Breakfast was not included in the package. The Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful and made my stay a pleasure. The premises needs renovations as a lot of leaks evident, especially in the toilets and we were without water one morning so I couldn't have a shower.

• Adelia (2/5): Very poor - Nothing interesting The entire establishment The staff It was dirty
• Jacob (5/5): Anyway that was MY CHOICE. - The venue was just 10 minutes drive to the place I was working. Some of the tenants were not adhering to the kitchen policy,dishes were sometimes not washed.For someone to use you'll have to clean them first before use.

And I was woken up by stuff talking loudly and non stop from around 6am till i wentforshowerat 8am. However the lady apologized when she realized I was around the whole time when they were making noise
• Nathi (4/5): Disappointing -
• Noluthandok (3/5): A night I would rather forget - Place is quite dirty. Does not seem well taken care of. Check-in experience was not nice. The bed was not comfortable. I would not recommend anyone to go there. The place looks shady.

• Koketso (5/5): No hot water - I arrived after 12 am .The staff was willing to wait for me to arrive after check-in time. The hot water came out, then stopped.
• Koketso (4/5): No hot water and very close to taxis - I loved that my room the second time I went there had a heater.It kept me warm during the night.The place is clean and close to public transport. I stayed there two times.On both occasions, there was no hot water to shower or take a bath .The first time the hot water came out and then stopped. The second time, I booked a different room .The water from that room was luke-warm I had to ask the receptionist to borrow me a kettle to boil water to bath.It was time-consuming for me to bath.
