The staff are very nice except for the white lady who did not care to get a key for the one room that was allocated to us. We slept for two days without a key, which is scary considering that Melville is one of the hot spots area in Johannesburg.

Honestly, I don't understand the reviews here. I was expecting something horrible, but it's actually a nice hostel. I liked this: Room: clean, good bed Staff: everyone friendly Location: Fantastic, in a safe area (Rosebank), near Gautrain station (easy connection to Sandton, Airport, Pretoria, and so on). Less than 5 minutes walk to 24/7 grocery store. Near is a coffee shop and in a walkable distance is Rosebank mall (restaurants, shops). Shower: clean, hot water Laundry service: cheap, fast.

Definitely the best place to go in Joburg. Soweto is a nice area where people look after you and share with you their stories. The Lebo's arrange very interesting cycling tours. The staff is very kind and helpful, the food is great and healthy. I highly recommend that place.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
