The Hippo Backpackers

We stayed only one night and checked in late. The place is very hard to find and a new sign would be nice. Our room was great and the woman running through hostel was nice. There was a wedding party having an after-party there so it was noisy. The kitchen is large and our room and common areas were very clean.

The backpacker's is far away from the beach, but near to downtown, although there is nothing to see in P.E. Near the hostel is a very good café, that is worth trying it. The wifi is very bad and rarely working, the pool was dirty. Toilets and bathroom were okay, the room was tidy, but there were only 2 keys for a six-bedded-room. The staff was very helpful and nice, always here and ready to help with everything.

it was a little hard to find for us at night but it was worth it. This place has a cosy backgarden with a pool´and a pooltable where you don't feel like being in big city. But the restaurants are just nearby and you can park your car safely. The owners are so nice, helpful and just sympathic. Addo elephant is great for a day trip or two and there are few more things to do and explore!

Hostel was very lovely, we ended up having a 6 bed dorm to ourselves, very clean & comfortable. Kitchen and shower facilities were great. Free wifi. Only downfall was that the hostel was at least an hours walk to the main Boardwalk area at the beach.

This was a very nice little backpackers in PE.We were welcomed by friendly staff who was willing to point out local restaurants...Btw which has amazing food and good prices#Salt down the road. We stayed in a dorm room, it was clean well looked after with a very small shower in the corner. FREE WIFI which is a little slow but still great to have.very nice pool and well looked after kitchen

We stayed one night on business and loved the wide open communal areas with ample space to work in private. Our hostess was very friendly and accommodating and the establishment very clean, even after a busy weekend. This was worth every cent. Wish I could stay longer.

Very poor hostel. I can't understand how it got a good grade in Hostel World, this place is terrible. Terrible bunk beds, pillows, bedroom space, no lockers, no fan, no curtains. To improve even more the experience, there was only 1 shower working. Only pros: the shower was hot and there are nice restaurants around.

I would only stay at this hostel for the short overnight baz bus stop. ||The facilities are old, dated and unclean. ||They have a nice pool but that's it. Glad I only had to stay one night.||The staff didn't make things clear when we arrived and we were all confused as to what she wanted us to do.|
