I stayed here for a couple of weeks during my internship but I did not like it here. It's very expensive and I did not get my money's worth. The place is not very clean, the rooms are very small, some depressingly small (in one room they make a bedroom of something that's hardly big enough to fit a toilet,... More

I wanted to book a room upfront by a direct mail to the hostel. They said only the most expensive room is available, while on different booking sites all rooms are still free. So don't get ripped off and book another hostel.

I stay at this backpacker regularly because 1) It is in a GREAT location, 2) The staff are very helpful and nice, and 3) it is affordable!! The rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms are clean and there is always someone around to ask if you need help or have a questions about anything. I borrowed a towel and was allowed to... More

This place was any travellers nightmare. On the website everything looked really nice + clean, but when we arrived the smell hit us. As we had already payed a heavy deposit and we were tired after a long flight, we decided to go ahead to the cottage we had booked. The smell of dust when we entered the room had... More

I had also booked breakfast included thru my booking, and had to have... More

We stayed two separate nights at Pretoria Backpackers. The first night was in the annex down the street, where our room had a small kitchen and bathroom, and the other night was in the main house with a shared bath. Both rooms were clean and well decorated, and certainly worth the money. Both times, we left quite early in the... More

Pretoria Backpackers is almost too nice to be a hostel. I came to spend a few nights in Pretoria rather than Joburg at the end of a trip just to relax and was glad to have chosen this place. Located in the swanky embassy district, the main building itself is a beautiful old house with a lush garden and extremely... More
