I was there in April 2016. The place is excellent, good service, close to Ushaka Marine World with bars and restaurants. The People's Mover bus stop is also near and the placid Indian Ocean just a few minutes walk. I hope to go back. (Eduardo from Ecuador)
This hostel is filled with families which leads to being filled with kids running around. Most rooms have no abilities to have the doors locked which was the most uncomfortable part of the stay. The main person we saw regularly that was working seemed very unwelcoming and as if she had an attitude with us the moment we knocked on the door. The other two receptionist we saw were great but seemed to be more of a back up. This place literally just feels as if your staying in a huge families house that doesn't really want you there, staring at you any time they get the chance, with a bunch of kids running around day and night. Good things is nothing was found to be missing even though we had anxiety about no locks. Also they do have a security guard that sits in the lobby once reception closes at 10. A positive thing is that it is pretty close to the beach but more on the end of where the strip ends and also very close to Shaka Marine World.
Beautiful hidden gem in Durban can't believe I never knew about this place.
Great place
Is super cool hostel we're all ages are welcome. They have events happening on the rooftop during the week or weekend. They have fantastic parking. And is very affordable to visit and explore the country. I would not overlook this as it is a fantastic experience. The only sad thing is that there's so much load shedding in Durban that it gets a bit hot sometimes. But the hospitality and services provided make up for everything
