+It's a chilled, hip place near everything - beach(es), eating, shopping - with committed staff, a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, and spacious dorms. 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

“Bad unhealthy backpackers”
+Not so good, the woman called Megan has been acting with her own personal vendetta, that l thought was her attitude, but not only her attitude her racist way of dealing with people from europe and Afrikaners travel7ng to europe, for us who needed to travel back and forth her excuse was that wr cant leave luggage there and get a storage, for almost all tourists she ripped them off increasing prices on the day of extention and if the europe people came to pay she had a filthy way of handling people and all tourists numbers l have has been complainung about her regarding the bad way she treats them when they booked online or just pitched where bazbus drops them when they never wanted to be there but closer to the ushaka which they never end up to, further more the free breakfast had all tourists infected with bacteria and viruses so that they end up at hospital and doctors for treatment, it is so filthy dirty in their rooms as from the previous backpackers which was Banana backpackers they had the 'leftovers' of the HPVirus and other viruses and bacteria that was inthe building this infected each and every person on the premisess and all persons became ill at yhe time being there at C
