What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Comfort & Privacy

I experienced both a private and dorm room during my stay. The private room had a super comfy double bed and was perfect for enjoying the communal vibe while still having my peace. The dorm was spacious with high ceilings and custom beds, each equipped with power sockets and lockers. It's a perfect blend for comfort and interaction!

Bar & Socializing

The on-site bar is a fantastic place for socializing. I loved the atmosphere, especially on nights when the local Joburgers mingled with travelers. It was lively, and I enjoyed sipping Soweto gold while chatting with new friends. Plus, the bar offers a great selection that keeps everyone feeling welcome!

Exciting Tours

Curiocity offers an impressive array of tours. I embarked on the Soweto Tour, guided by Jazz, who was impressive and engaging. He made the rich history entertaining and easy to digest. We even visited local charities which was such a heartwarming experience. These tours truly enhanced my stay.

Clean Facilities

The bathrooms were consistently well-maintained during my stay. Each shower had ample hot water, unlike some other places I’ve been. Cleanliness is a priority here, which made my experience comfortable. I felt at ease knowing that hygiene was taken seriously throughout the hostel.
