A very intense experience, the quarter is going thru a trasformation to make a better living, the murales are part of it, they are of quite of a artistic interest. Obviously, there are contradictions. Guide Kaizer has been very passionate about the quarter life. We felt safe.

The hostel, surroundings and tours were so much fun. I went during a quieter period and went on some tours which were really nice. My guide Bafana took me to the lisedi village and cradle and was a good vibe on the drive out there. I would highly recommend staying at Curiocity for the full Jo Burg experience.

Everybody very friendly, good vibes, and a nice hostel to stay. The office could do a bit better though: I prepaid the Inner City Walking Tour when I booked the hostel on their website, and it took _four_ email communications with them to confirm the date of that tour. Basically they ignored my email request three times to sign up for a certain date (it was the only date available for me), and finally on the 4th try they confirmed me for that tour. And then they had a nice braii, which I signed up for. At the dinner nobody asked for payment so I assumed the next morning when I checked out I could pay for the braii, since I'd already asked them the cost of it, told them I wanted to join etc. However, management must have realized they missed catching me for the payment that evening, and at midnight they sent the poor girl (she felt bad) into the room to take the payment, turning on the light, disturbing the others, and waking me from a deep sleep. Kind of insulting - as though they thought I would get up early and leave and skip paying? Or whatever the intention, that is how I read the situation, anyway.

The hostel has an excellent location. It is safe and has many bars around as well as cultural spaces that are worth visiting during the day. This is the second time I've stayed there. The larger shared room is the best of all because of the ventilation and greater spacing between the beds. I missed windows, but that wasn't a problem. The lower bed is very comfortable, as is the practicality of the lighting and individual socket next to the bed. And the common areas and bar are also excellent. But the best thing is the staff. Everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. Makes us want to stay longer! I will definitely be back
