Saltycrax Backpackers and Surf Hostel by Curiocity

General presentation looks good and it looks inviting but the Room is not as it appeared on bookings.com, lower your expectation. Our room (private room) had alot of black mold on the ceiling and it did not even look like the room we booked online. The shower was very filthy especially the shower floor. The key to the door was not working and it was difficult to lock and open. The furniture is either loose, broken or in very poor condition. Other guests where very loud at 2am in the morning. Screaming at their friends on the other side right infront of our door. They had no respect for other people. The walls are paper thin. You hear everything your neighbors is talking about and their entire toilet experience as well (while you are in bed) If you dont mind alot of noice until 3am and again from 6am. It might be ok for you. General outer appearance is good. For the price we paid online we checked out the next morning and got a much nicer place in sea point. Definitely not value for what we paid for.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay this past weekend. The staff was friendly and welcoming . The rooms were clean and neat and the facilities were clean and well taken care off. We’re definitely visiting again 🫶🏼❤️

This was a midweek breakaway from work. I was looking for a cheep place in another area than mine and it came out nice. Close to the beach and the restaurants, comfortable room, friendly staff, nice garden...
