Located in a convenient spot near the main shopping street, this hostel is easy to find. the rooms have air conditioning, and some come with a fully equipped kitchen. It's a short taxi ride to gorgeous restaurants like Zest and Cafe Zambezi.
Sadly, the lack of card payment at the hostel's bar and restaurant can be inconvenient.

I recently had a fantastic stay at a backpackers in one of the most vibrant towns in Africa. The hotel offered great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail that made my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town, allowing me to easily explore all the attractions. The service by the staff was exceptional, they were friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcomed and at home. The basic amenities provided, including rooms with average air conditioning and double beds with own bathrooms, were exactly what I needed for a relaxing stay. And to top it off, the delicious breakfast provided each morning was the perfect start to my day.
All in all, my experience at this hotel was fantastic and there was nothing that I felt needed improvement.

The pool was a nice relief from the heat and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel was convenient for exploring the area, and the self-catering facilities in the kitchen saved us some money on food. We also enjoyed the artwork displayed on site.
The Wi-Fi wasn't reliable, which caused some frustration when trying to plan our days. some of the activities, drinks, and food offered were overpriced for our backpacker budget.

Great atmosphere with friendly staff and a good selection of drinks. the location was perfect with plenty of places within walking distance. the complementary breakfast and shuttle service were a nice added touch.
The room was dirty and poorly maintained. the water pressure was terrible making it impossible to take a decent shower.
