Great and clean location. Safe although it is a good exercise to go to shops which is a nearby mall but it's a good area with lots of shade from the trees if you have to walk in the Pretoria heat. Otherwise I would recommend it as one of the best. Only that they need to stock the bar instead of walking all the way just to grab 1 or 2 drinks.

Shops are a bit far, make sure you pass by the mall, grab somethings and chill. Otherwise if you are lazy to walk, you will starve.

Quite peaceful. Feels like a little getaway from the buzz of the city. Landscaping is real nice. The room was very clean and neat. No personal microwave and such but there's this nice kinda outdoor kitchen situation. The private bathroom was also very nice and clean. And the owner(?) Marcel was just a wonderful human being. Wouldn't hesitate to go back there.

I wish there was a dresser or something for easier/neater storage during our stay. And just a surface to eat off of.

I found myself in a predicament last night where I was without any means of transportation, but fortunately, I stumbled upon 1322 Backpackers and what an absolute gem! The peaceful and immaculate ambiance coupled with the friendly and helpful staff added to the experience. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to make my own breakfast - such a unique concept that I truly appreciated. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at 1322 Backpackers.

Everything exceeded my expectations, honestly pictures on the website don’t do it any justice, it looks way better in person. The location is perfect, safe and secure, the is a solar system, so no load shedding, and free breakfast (might be basic but since it’s free it’s cool)

Well wi-fi was very slow in my room ‘Mufasa’ but outside the room it was fast and satisfactory

The staff was friendly and extremely attentive. I was happy to receive a room upgrade when I arrived. The location was in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was great hanging out by the pool chatting with the other guest. I would certainly return and highly recommend this establishment.

Loved everything!

They offered breakfast They are very friendly I love the customer treatment it's so welcoming I love the pool table and the bar They use solar panels in case of load-shedding or power cuts

The shower is not enough could be because of the Solar during load-shedding They should add small working tables in the rooms

place has an amazing vibes, it's way more beautiful than on the photos. All of the staff members and owners are really great, so helpful. There is self-made breakfast, which is very nice. There are 2 very nice equipped communal kitchens. I extended my staying because I liked this place very much.

The location is super convenient for a first timer in Pretoria and the staff were friendly. Having a pool was awesome as I could get in a workout.

There is nothing I didn't like.

An interesting hostel with thematic bungalows representing different peoples of South Africa. Each bungalow is equipped with all the essentials and has interesting wooden design. The hostel has an area to park your car and overall feels safe.

There was a lot of noise when turn on/off water in the shower and the sink.
