“The best option in Johannesburg for an affordable price”
27 May 2025
My days in Curiocity were amazing! The female dorm is big, clean and has a good shower inside. They have a beautiful and very well equipped kitchen! There is a balcony to chill in the sun where I spent the cold mornings. The bar is beautiful and a good place to have a beer and meet other people. The staff is awesome! Friendly and nice people who take care of the guest very well! I highly recommend staying with them!
