I stayed in a budget single room. It's small but beautifully done, clean, with a window to the central courtyard, and a comfy bed. The shared bathrooms are cleaned at least daily (and checked regularly in case of additional cleaning need). The kitchen is extremely well equipped for a hostel and there's always a box with free pasta and rice. Breakfast is complimentary and includes not only cornflakes and bread with jam but also fresh fruit and pancakes. Note, that coffee is not included (but available for about €1,50 at the bar). Laundry is roughly €3.50 for a large bag (done inhouse). There are daily events you can sign up for or ignore depending on how you feel. I did the Sunday morning hike, which was exhausting but also stunning. Staff is always friendly and ready to advise on any question, from where to buy electronics to cute coffee shops to how to catch the bus to eSwatini. WiFi is good ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had the best stay at Curiosity, the place was so clean, the staff were amazing and there was always something to do.

She was so bad insulting me onnpremises that your prise is too small to pay, why is it then on the web? Thereafter she became ugly and said l am a person livi g on the street wh8ch isnt so, l travel all over the world l sometimes struggle with my visa and has to extend she is so bad she incriminated me so l report her at police she even insulted my businesspartner when he phoned her, its completely not a professional business and the complete setup has a bad vibe all tourists get sick because of the condition 8f thempremises its no use the place get painted and flòorwashed as serious bacteria and viruses infected all tourist, there is proof of it. Then Megan apso make people to pay the staff stole some of my money by me paying cash on extention, and l never saw the 800 l paid the reception just denies and when l questioned Megan had a bad attitude asif nothing happened, the next time l came from Cape Town again l booked online the same receptionist whom stole previous 800 from me called Megan who refused my stay at 12 pm night which l had to go somewhere else, just becaus she said she dont like my face and Megan send onmprevious occations to me threat messages which l showed police and they noted it. She also insulted my businespartner when we were with a person in hospital who was in his deathbed and she insisted me to remove my luggage from their storage.

Es entspricht keineswegs deb abgebildeten Bildern im Internet. Diese scheikek schon einige Jahre alt zu sein. Personal war sehr freundlich. Unterkunft dreckig und in einem segr renovierungsbedürftigen Zustand. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Over my stay there was great. The staff are friendly and the place is neat. Breakfast is a lovely addition. I was, however booked into an incorrect room, I'd booked a double, but received a single. It was late, so i didnt worry to change it. There was some sort of mix up with the booking made through Expedia. Overall, I still recommend staying there, it is vibrant, easily accessible from the airport and centrally located in Durban. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniele Feb 3, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Solo week in Durban Had a private room, which was very spacious, well-lit and nicely decorated. Common areas are clean and very trendy. Service was great, staff was very friendly and went the extra mile to help with general queries / tips on activities and things to see. Entrance to the hostel was a bit underwhelming. Breakfast and food offering to be improved. ##### Daniele Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nina, Paris Oct 23, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Super auberge très design, avec petit dej inclus buffet (rare en afrique du sud).

The kitchen was very clean and had lots of nice cutlery and crockery available..the sitting area was nice...they also had a bar and lounge and reading room..shower and toilets clean and plenty of hot water...the only downside is the area,it is a bit seedy .!! Felt alright during the day time but after dark it does not feel safe... Easy walk to beach area and ShopRite .. ##### Dawn Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### simone Sep 1, 2018 #### Un pernottamento insoddisfacente Scarsa pulizia, nei letti e soprattutto nei bagni. Colazione insoddisfacente, nessuna attenzione all'igiene, perfino il caffè non era stato preparato, ma era solo solubile. Pensavo prenotare una notte anche al curiocity di Johannesburg, ma ovviamente non l'ho fatto ##### simone Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### HELENE, MARSEILLE Aug 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bonne adresse pas chère Auberge de jeunesse sympaavec une jolie déco et proche du bord de mer.

Staff is very kind and they make sure you feel at home. They help you with whatever you need and let you know what you should do while being in Durban. (They also let you know what not to do and, more important, where not to go). We had a private room which was very spacious and the room was huge! Definitely one of the better rooms we’ve had so far here in SA! Would definitely reccomend it! ##### Rick Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 17, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Cleanliness Hostel is spacious and nicely decorated. We arrived late in the evening just for one night and unfortunately we discovered (bed?)bugs on the bed and underneath the mattress. Also some small blood stains on the bedding. We were then offered another room where we found the bugs as well.. The staff just told us (without taking a look) it weren't bed bugs but insects that came in because of the rain and that they would take care of it. If it wasn't for the bugs, we would come back here. The dorms were nice and spacious and every bed had its own light and electricity. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gwenda Dec 31, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ville à fuir Auberge design et bien tenue C’était le seul point positif de cette ville!! ##### Gwenda Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Lucas Jul 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Boa opção em Durban O hostel é muito agradável, com um conceito bem diferente e nos deixa realmente confortável.
