They have bunk beds, 1 room, 2 room options. I took 1 private room but toilet and bathroom are common. Cleaners clean regularly. A common kitchen that has salt, microwave oven, gas stove, plates, has a hall for watching TV. Location is good because there are guards with securities with gun, restaurants, coffee shops are around. Taxis that were requested via bolt app and uber app are coming to this area. V&A water front is few kilometres from here. In the night time there is noise from neighbouring bars. Staff here are friendly

Great for backpackers, especially foreign tourist who like cheap accommodation. The neighborhood isn't secured to walk at night but the hostel itself has locked gate and security 24/7. Parking is available right outside most of the time.

Urban Hive Backpackers exceeds expectations as a dynamic and budget-friendly hostel. Nestled in the heart of the city, its prime location facilitates easy access to local landmarks. The vibrant communal areas and diverse events create a welcoming social atmosphere, perfect for connecting with fellow travelers. Although some might find the dorms a tad compact and noise levels high during peak times, Urban Hive Backpackers stands out as an excellent choice for budget-conscious adventurers craving an urban adventure enriched by a thriving communal spirit 👌
