Parkhurst's garden and bar, backed by a 9.3 solo score
A hostel on 7th Street in Parkhurst, tagged with a garden, a bar, a shared kitchen and free bicycle rental. Rated 8.8 by 525 reviewers with a 9.3 solo-traveler location score, and includes a free American breakfast on top of self-catering options.
Breakfast here is already taken care of, an American spread included every single morning, which leaves the shared kitchen free for lunch and dinner planning instead of a full day of cooking. The garden, furnished with outdoor seating, works as the property's daytime hub, a genuinely quiet 7th Street setting rated 9.3 for solo travelers, a rare score anywhere in this city. Free bicycles make exploring Parkhurst's own cafe strip easy without needing a car or a rideshare, and private check-in and check-out keep arrivals simple even well outside normal reception hours. Evenings shift toward the bar and its pub crawls, though the whole property reads noticeably calmer than the party-hostel scene found closer to central Maboneng, a deliberate trade-off for guests who genuinely want their nights quieter and more settled.
