What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfy Private Room

I had the chance to stay in a private room called 'The Loft' during my visit. It came with a super comfy double bed and minimalist furniture that offered a cozy vibe while still allowing for some privacy. Perfect for couples wanting the hostel experience with a touch of seclusion.

Great Chill Areas

The common areas at Curiocity truly excel. I spent plenty of time in the bar and chill-out area, where I could enjoy a drink while mingling with locals and tourists alike. The outdoor balcony seating was fantastic for soaking up the sun or catching up with friends during the evening.

Lovely Courtyard

I absolutely loved the courtyard area with the jacuzzi. It was lush with hundreds of plants, a perfect retreat for some quiet time or reading a book. It provided a serene escape amidst the hustle and bustle of the hostel.

Fun Bar Experience

The bar at Curiocity was one of the highlights of my stay. Not only could you grab a drink and relax, but they also had regular barbecue events that created a great social atmosphere. I found myself making new friends over a nice cold Soweto Gold.
