Stayed here while in Johannesburg. Great place to stay - clean place, friendly staff, great tours! I did an Inner City Tour and booked my 3 nights to Kruger with them. All the people who go there are very chill. The bar is great to hang out. They have stuff every night! If they have a braai night take part in it! The food was delicious!
Hello Friend!
Thank you for this wonderful review!
Do come back and see us soon for more fun times!
Curiocity Joburg is the perfect introduction to the Johannesburg CBD. The backpackers feels like a big home for travelers either starting off or ending their trip in Johannesburg. I loved their big kitchen fully stocked with utensils, pots and basically everything you need to make a homey meals.
The beds are decent. Slept well during my time. The location is great cause of all the many cafes and restaurants, however, does get quite noisy over the weekends so your sleep might be interrupted. Luckily people don't party too late so you're good after 3am. Great sleep over the weekdays as the city quiets down early.
Loved the layout of private and public spaces. Plenty of areas to socialize when you're feeling the urge to mingle and quite a few to hide out to get work done or finish up a good book.
The staff was great. Bar fully stocked. Can't wait to come for a longer stay and try one of their city bike tours or famous Monday Family night dinners. Thanks for having me.
Cheers!

A few of us stayed here on a side trip from our Remote Year. The hostel itself is nice with good amenities and comfortable beds and a variety of different rooms. The staff is very great, from the excitable and helpful bartenders to the friendly office staff. Best of all, Curiocity offers daily tours. I can't speak for all of them, but their tour to Soweto using the tour company Soweto and Beyond is a must. The owner/guide Bowanee (SP definitely butchered) or "Bones" is a fantastic guide and very entertaining and knowledgeable.
Maboneng isn't the safest area but the hostel goes out of its way to make you feel protected and you have approximately 4 blocks of restaurants and bars you can safely visit while staying at the hostel. Recommend using Uber for going anywhere outside Fox street.
Overall, a very satisfying and solid hostel experience in Johannesburg!

Hello Friend,

Do return so we can welcome you back to the family :)
The beds are comfy, it is clean and you meet with people here. Oh great kitchen too. I Specifically liked the outside Showers and being at the jacuzzi was also great. They have hanging lines for laundry and also they have a lot of plants, so you basically feel like you are close to nature even though you are in the middle of a busy city. Would be perfect for big groups I think.
