Ok.
O melhor do hostel é o staff. Friendly, helpful and happy. Localização é ok. Perto de vários bares e restaurantes. As instalações, pelo menos o meu quarto, eram ok, mas deixavam a desejar pelas fotos. Mas voltaria a me hospedar

Overall decent stay. There are nice kitchen facilities, but the showers have low water pressure and it’s hard to regulate the temperature. The bar downstairs can make it a bit noisy, but not too bad. Lots of good restaurants around the neighborhood.

The staff was very helpful and arranged tours and trip to airport, helped with Wi-fi connection, and warned about streets to avoid when walking to Downtown.

Awesome staff & nice space
The staff was awesome--incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure that guests were taken care of, even to the point of providing an escort to walk me to the pickup point and wait with me for my tour bus. I enjoyed an excellent coffee at the bar in the morning on my final day. This hotel is very accommodating as far as luggage storage, and they also have safes for valuables. We did have an extended power outage, but this was not the hotel's fault. My room was spacious and linens clean. Overall, I was happy with the experience, despite being a bit disappointed that the area was not safely walkable for a solo tourist.

Curiocity and Maboneng are truly gems of Joburg
It's rare that I give perfect marks across the board, but Curiocity earned it! I booked 2-weeks at Curiocity via Hotels.com, and they put me in their sister hotel (12 Decades) right down the street. From what I gather, Curiocity is the hostel and 12-Decades is the hotel. I was absolutely impressed! The staff were great, the hotel itself was awesome (it is an art-themed hotel, and each room has a different motif), and the neighborhood is wonderful. Maboneng is an ultra-hip part of Johannesburg with great cuisine (PataPata, Ravioli, Soul Souvlaki, Bertrand's cafe) and a really cool vibe. I'm a bit of a straight-laced guy, but even I loved the bohemian feel of the area. The only con was that the wi-fi was sometimes difficult to connect to. I absolutely recommend Curiocity, and would stay there again in a heart-beat.

10/10 Exceptional

I had an amazing time at this hostel. Really clean and great staff. Beds are really nice and free WiFi is always great. Great okace to meet new people and go in tours in the city. But be warned as while the block it is on is really nice, the larger neighborhood I did not feel was very safe at all.

One of a kind
Fantastic artsy place, original and unique, as were all the rooms too. Very cool. Great locations with plenty of places to eat up and down the street. The side of our bedding wasn't the cleanest, as a booger was found, but given the overall cleanliness of the entire place and the rest of our room I'm chalking that up to an anomaly. I highly recommend for the creative rooms and uniqueness of them all.

Hostel que quer ser "moderninho"
Deixa muito a desejar, grupo de hóspedes que acham que é o dono do Hotel, gritam a noite inteira, sem a menor preocupação com os outros hóspedes, sem ação dos funcionários... Bairro que só funciona no fds...fora isso o lugar é morto....., não se pode caminhar em nenhuma outra rua do bairro, por questão de segurança (recomendação do próprio hotel)....
