Experts' Choice Award Brown Sugar Backpackers
What the experts agree on
Brown Sugar Backpackers trades comfort for Jo'burg's wildest nightlife scene—housed in a former gangster's mansion with great views and a capable tour desk, it's built for party-seekers, not peace-seekers.
“A notorious hostel on Observatory Ridge... Come here for a fast-track introduction to Jo’burg’s hedonistic nightlife rather than comfort or chilled-out vibes.”
– Rough Guide
Lonely Planet "In a large mansion that looks like a miniature castle and is actually the former home of a 1970s gangster, this place is a whole bunch of fun with decent rooms... great views and a good tour agency." Full review
