Customer Reviews Durban - Hippo Hide Lodge & Backpackers
| 01 Aug 2011 Mateus, Brazil | 77% | |
| The staff is awesome.
This hostel is far from the city, you'll need to spend around R50 to get to downtown Durban (about 15 min away), or maybe catch a bus or mini-taxi (R4) if you're really wild. It is far from the sun coast casino, far from Ushaka and everything. However this is a safe area, from what I heard much safer than Happy Hippo.
The hostel environment is cool, they have a little waterfall with a little lake, very pleasant. | ||
