Liked: Free airport shuttle service

Disliked: The price and lack of heat. $50 US for a bed in one room is very high. No heat in the bathroom so was too cold to shower.

Liked: A great place to stay when you have a night between flights. They pick you up and drop you off at the airport for no charge and there is a wonderful breakfast. Really more of a hotel than hostel.

Disliked: Nothing.

John Russell

16 November 2009 John would recommend this property

Liked: This place is more of a hotel than a hostel. I booked a room with a shared bath but was given a very nice renovated ensuite room. The breakfast is good and included in the price if you stay in a room. Otherwise the food and drink are a little on the pricy side. There's a shuttle service to a nearby mall. Overall a nice place to stay.

Disliked: John left no negative feedback.

Jordy Sweep

01 September 2009 Jordy would recommend this property

Liked: When staying overnight near the airport, this is a great place. It's not near all kind of fun places, so don't go there when you want that. Staff is good, free pick-up and drop-off at the airport is great. We forgot to tell them what time we'd arrive and they still picked us up within half an hour free of charge. Great service.

Disliked: Jordy left no negative feedback.

Customer review

14 April 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: A beautiful place to stay that looks just like the pictures. Beware that breakfast is not included if you book a bed in a dormitory room. Also, it's more like a 15 - 20 minute drive from the airport, but free transport, timely, and a safe neighborhood. The excoursions on offer are expensive, but the Soweto tour was excellent with a good guide and able to book on short notice.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

17 May 2008 SALINTHIP would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel itself is very clean and modern. Actually it should not be catagorized as a hostel, but more like a small hotel.The only bad thing is that they never open their mailbox. I tried to contact them so many times via email but there has NEVER been any single reply.
