Lonely Planet
"In a large mansion that looks like a miniature castle and is actually the former home of a 1970s gangster, this place is a whole bunch of fun with decent rooms... great views and a good tour agency." Full review

"A notorious hostel on Observatory Ridge... Come here for a fast-track introduction to Jo’burg’s hedonistic nightlife rather than comfort or chilled-out vibes."
