Spent a couple of weeks at the 1322 in late 2009 early 2010 whilst touring South Africa. This is a comfortable, reliable, safe kind of Hostel and good value for money.

Very friendly, welcoming backpackers in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It's a bit funny because the sleeping quarters are actually in a series of little storage sheds in the backyard. That said, we were there on a cold, rainy night, and it was perfectly dry and cozy in our room. The bed is comfy and there is a sink in the... More

I found 1322 through Trip Advisor, and I'm delighted I did. I stayed in three different hostels whilst I was in South Africa, and this was, by a long way, the best. Yzelle (the owner) and Maj (the other member of staff) were both fantastic. I left after 6 nights, but ended up coming back for my final 3 nights... More

1322 Backpackers International was a wonderful place to stay. The atmosphere was definitely welcoming, comfortable, and the African/International decor topped it all off. Maj (one of the women who manages the place) was amazing! She was accommodating in every sense of the word. We had comfortable beds, hot showers, wireless internet, and were a 5-minute walk from Hatfield Square (cafe... More

I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights in January 2011, deciding to chose Pretoria over Johannesburg for my first few days in South Africa. I was met with a great, friendly attitude by the staff from the moment I first called to reserve my bed right up to the moment I left the hostel. Even though I arrived late... More

Despite we were there during the world cup, and the hostel was full, Tim and Monique always were available for any requirement or even the simplest question we had. The hostel is secure and will give you the chance to have a great time there.

We decided to stay here based on their website. It turned out their website is hopelessly outdate and their prices therefore are much higher. This was kind of disappointing. The Wendy we stayed in was a bit damp, but otherwise not to bad. The location of this hostel is great and cleaniness very good. Best thing about this hostel are... More

This is a really friendly hostel. Not too big but with lots of space outside. It has a lovely garden and pool and outside eating area. The kitchen is adequate and there is a TV lounge and small bar. We slept in a Wendy, a garden shed!, but adequate and quite comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful and... More
