Tekweni Backpackers Hostel

I will never book with this place ever again😡 In the beginning of our communication beautiful pictures were sent and i thought this is great. To my surprise and not a pleasant surprise that my staff were extremely upset with the conditions, the shower light was not working there was sewerage by the main door where they were expected to enter right by the door🤢🤮. They were given a small wooden shed well expected to stay in it basically the size of the sheds you use in your back garden to keep the law mover etc... in fact it looked just like a tool shed. The pictures that were sent to me were either very old like in back in the heydays most definitely is not the situation nowadays. Very disappointing looks are very deceiving.

Its a great place for a budget stay over. Its 100m from Florida road, a tourist night life hotspot.

The hostel is a great place, with lovely staff in a great location! The staff from the very beginning made efforts to make me feel comfortable and at home, answering questions, showing me to places nearby where I needed to go. It can be very very quiet at the hostel, so it depends on what you’re looking for in a hostel… it may not be the place in Durban to meet new friends. That said, the place is so cool in a great location, and if they had volunteers to create a good vibe here and chill with the guests it could be so much better and more popular Thanks!!

Just a pity there is no zero. DONT and I repeat DONT stay here. It's like staying in the slums. Place smells like a shebeen and it's very dirty, when you sit on the beds feels like some creepy crawly is walking on you. We could not sleep there because of this reason and he refused to refund us. Don't make the mistake we made, save your money.

Good solid budget accommodation in a great location close to everything. Nothing fancy but all I required. I will be back 😀

Great place and location.two blocks from windemere shopping center. 20 meters from Florida Ave with lots of good restaurants. 20 minute walk to the beach.i stay here every time I'm in Durban. Patrick, the owner, is my Bro and really cares about his guests. Best backpacker's in Durban

This is a great backpackers just off the Florida road. We had a really f=good time here and the pool was perfect for the kids. The nearby Florida road makes eating out super easy and the bars are a highlight for having a good time.

The bathrooms in the rooms can be improved. The staff is friendly and helpful. Location is everything when you travel with kids. They are at the perfect spot. Generally, they are neat...the bathroom needs fixing
