Traveling for the first time into this part of "historical" South Africa and after hearing about the negative stuff, I wasn't sure how it will be, but "Lungi" made it a "smooth" ride. He knows many people around and will help you out in getting rid of the negative perceptions/stereotypes you have about this place. He can also spontaneously organize tours and guide you in showing different places around Jo'burg/Soweto. After staying here, I can say that staying here was better than in staying in Jo'burg.
The room & the toilets are clean...and no mosquitoes (at least inside the room). So, it was a learning & a great stay! :)

Great location, very safe and spacious with everything you need. Staff is always friendly and helpful, secure parking and visible security for female travellers. Around the corner from the mall and anything else you might need.
Excellent Breakfast Great location, right across from Mandela Square Mall, 7mins walk from the Gautrain station as well. Safe parking which was great.
Awesome staff, beautiful common areas, good breakfast, very convenient location near the Park station, spacious rooms. I felt very safe in and around the hostel in the Maboneng area, using common sense is recommended but everything was great!!
Everything, the rooms are sound proof, the facilities they provided like kettle, safe, hair dryer
Great location. Cheap for Sandton. Safe area. Good environment
I felt safe in the location and the place is beautifully decorated. The fridge decorated with currencies of the backpackers who have stayed there is cute. It makes the hostel unique.
Very nice hostel with an amazing vibe in a safe neighborhood. Great bar, very friendly staff and international as well as local guests. They offer great sightseeing tours. It’s very clean, comfortable and cheap. Will come back.
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.
Great location, cheap 'n cheerful rooms. Decor is different and fun. Doesn't feel like a "budget hotel".
