Great place to stay and affordable. It's next to Shaka Marine World and good for family holidays
Without a doubt, Awesomely funky, modern and Clean.
I have traveled to many backpackers, Happy Hippo is without a doubt the Cleanest and most organized.They have their own wel managed Tourist Info/reception area.
The Staff are friendly, the rooftop area is very cool, looking over Ushaka Marine World.
I will always come back to Happy Hippo for my stay over in Durban.
Happy hippo is a very Dope accommodation. Situated close to everything including Durban north beach, Shaka marine world and the boat hobour. However the service from the people working there was very poor and that's one of the reasons we are not going back there the next time we in Durban. I also liked the rooftop bar, that's where we took the picture
I find myself gravitating to this awesome backpackers every year I visit Durban. The accommodation is neat and tidy. A lot of traveller's seeking a peace of mind. Usually meet a lot of great people over here.
There's a rooftop with good music, a laundry service and it very close to Ushaka Marine and a reliable transport system. Check it out!
Wow What a clean and friendly environment my friend refered me to. The reception stuff are very welcoming and friendly. Will be coming back again in December. Thank you happy hippo crew. I love the hotel so much that I can't wait to check in again. 😘
Great service and value for money. Well situated
Great place for a good experience and getaway. The wifi just needs a bit of work but other than that it's a good environment
Amazing place to for a relaxed vibe
Pool table and wide range of drinks
We had an owesome stay.the place is great and close to ushaka marine
Centrally based you are in close proximity to all the touristic spots, its easy on the pocket with very reasonable priced yet set amongst some of the pricest hotels - so for bargain hunters its ideal! Neat clean rooms.
Wish I had known about this long time ago such a beautiful place
Great rooftop / bar setup. Spacious open / communal areas. Small internet cafe setup going as well. Quite upmarket for a backpackers hostel. Hosts small events and parties on the rooftop. Close to ushaka
Good beds, good location and great building.
Horrible wifi, no oil/salt or pepper in the kitchen and the staff is not really talkative :/ could be much better with only small things :)
Cozy hostel even though it's huge! The staff was not really talkative but except for that it's a nice place!
Had a great stay here. Nice to be in the city. Secure parking for my car 🚗 great vibe on the rooftop bar. Loads of space in the living area with the coolest decor to get up to anything. A must stay if backpacking through durban.
