Private room in Cape Town
4.44 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsBeachfront ! Views for days + direct beach access
StepankaRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Great place if you are looking for cool and vibrant hostel-ish accommodation for surfing holiday. They offer surf rental and classes right at the building. Yoga classes and coffee and restaurant are also in the same building. And location is superb - right on the beach with top views. Disadvantages are noise at night (sometimes there are parties in the bar in the same building as the hostel) and not very clean kitchen.

DiamondRating, 5 stars96 months ago
This was the second time I stayed at Curiocity (first time booked through airbnb). It's a great hostel with a community feeling. The dorm room is comfortable although it's not likely that you'll spend much time in the room. There are plenty of other travelers to socialize with in the bar, the courtyard, or the balcony, and even if you're traveling alone it's easy to meet people to go on excursions with. All the staff are really helpful and you can get laundry done for 40ZAR, which for a long-term traveler is a godsend. The area is a very safe part of Joburg with private security and lots of shops and restaurants in the street, a little quiet during the week but very lively on the weekend and you're able to walk around at night. It's also very easy to get an Uber as there are usually a few in the neighborhood. The wifi works well in all public areas although sometimes it doesn't quite reach all of the rooms. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks guys!

Perfect place to relax and unwind. It’s right on the beach with a pathway to get between the lodge and the beach. The drinks at the bar are very reasonably priced. Nice neat and cosy room. I highly recommend it, definitely will be back!

Very convenient location. Super friendly hosts. It is a hostel/backpackers kind of set up, so it’s very communal. However I had a great private room with my own bathroom.

I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s a backpackers as a backpackers should be...functional, clean and affordable. The staff are the best thing about Urban! Centrally situated in the city, it is the perfect location for exploring Joburg.
