Good location, close to the safe Hatfield-Gautrain station, so a good start or endpoint for BAZbus- travellers and others! Very helpful crew and clean rooms & kitchen, cosy bar. Quite surrounding, good for relaxation!

The hostel is located in Hatfield, which is probably one of the nicest areas in Pretoria and Joburg. The doubles/chalets are great value for less than 300, a bit tiny but you'll have enough space. They provide free breakfast, have a pool, a clean and well-equipped kitchen plus a really cozy common area in the garden. It would be nice... More

The restaurants and shops of Hatfield are a short walk away. 1322 has the ambiance of a traditional hostel. Interesting crowd of people. Excellent management. The hostel has good services - laundry,... More

I stayed here for 3 nights at the start of my backpacking adventure around South Africa. The hostel staff are very friendly, (Alex and Monique) and there are several cats and a cute dog to keep you company as well. It is a very secure hostel in a good location. Only about a 10minute walk from hatfield square. Room pricing... More

Managers are very knowledgeable & helpful. The backpackers is located in a typical Pretoria neighborhood and only a short walk from Hatfield Square which has shops, cinema,... More

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
