Rough Guide
"Immaculately organized hostel with a restful atmosphere, tastefully decorated rooms and single-sex dorms... Strict no-smoking policy and no check-in after 9pm."

"One of Durban’s best hostels, it has sparkling surfaces and rooms neat enough to pass an army major’s inspection... and helpful owner Elmar is the man-in-the-know about all things Durban and beyond."
