"I would never wish anyone the experience we had in this placê. It should never be called lodge for backpackers or whatever.. we have never been in a such a placê like this.. despite being in backpackers places in many other countries.

As it was not enough the room was terrible freezing. In...

"Firstly, the address advertised as well as the photographs of the accomodation are and is not the address of the actual "hostel. " There is no transportation to the actual address on Jan Smuts rd where you find out that you will be staying UPON ARRIVAL.. The cleanliness of the rooms are at best disgusting. No toilet paper is the tip of the iceberg. There are naked woman walking the halls with numerous "visitors" coming in and out. The owner\manager is impossible to get hold of. Disgraceful....
