Cafe Mexicho

Super friendly and helpful staff. They do a great job with helping you mix in and enjoy the local scene. Lots of cool people and energy in the area to feel inspired by the culture, learn about the history, and appreciate the beauty of the community.

First time visiting Joh-berg and I stayed here with my friend. Being from Australia we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into but Curiocity Staff and other residents staying there welcomed us in straight away. Stayed in an 8 person dorm which was basic but spacious. The public spaces are where it's at. The bar pops off till around midnight and everyone then kicks on. They have plenty of organised activities and suggestions if wanting to explore. 5 stars.

For anyone that loves backpacking this place defines it. Casual visit for a Friday night, you are in for a good vibe. Good class of people

While we didn't stay at Curiocity Backpackers this time, we dropped by to chill and work while waiting for car repairs nearby. My husband has stayed here before and found it clean and reasonably priced for a hostel. The common areas were impressively clean, and we had a delightful dining experience at Spook Munchies African Cuisine next door. Camagu stood out with his exceptional hospitality, ensuring that all guests felt well cared for and maintaining a clean and tidy environment. Whether for a stay or just to hang out, I wholeheartedly recommend this place!

The staff are super helpful with information. The hostel vibe was amazing and the common areas are beautiful with enough sitting areas. I loved that there was a common area only for residents. The staff are really concerned about the safety of their guests. Disliked · The music at the nearby bars play until very late and it can affect sleep. The safety and security warnings got me really scared of exploring the area, but that is not the hostel's fault.
