This was an awesome hostel, it was inexpensive, clean and helpful, with friendly staff. It's located in the city bowl suburbs and not too far from Long Street where all the bars and nightlife are located. Me and four friends booked a night stay before heading out on our long drive to Jeffrey's Bay the next day. They also have an excellent happy hour as well. Our rooms were located around the corner on quieter Union Street. Here's their website
