Quick 1-night stay.

Quick 1-night stay. I was in a dorm room of 10 beds. The bed was comfortable. It's a pity they don't provide complimentary towels, one has to pay R50 to use a towel. Otherwise a great experience. Very friendly staff.

This property is much more than a hostel but an Experience. The staff is exceptional in customer service and willing to help with any travel needs. The rooms are VERY CLEAN which is always a plus for me. They offer yoga and braai nights also. I highly recommend this place.

Comfortable, but cleaning can improve

I stayed at Curiocity with a group for 10 days. It was 12 women split in 2 flats. I believe that if the bathroom was divided (like a space for the toilet, separate from the shower with a sink and mirror also separate), it would be so much better for this type of accommodation. But the biggest issue we had was that nobody came to clean for like 3 or 4 days of our stay, so after a while the bathroom was not in its best shape. Other than that, rooms and bed were comfortable, staff was friendly and the location is really good!
