    This is an awesome place to stay! Super clean rooms and great staff! Our kids got to meet so many people from around the world! This place is really well designed and has beautiful views of table mountain. We loved sitting outside to have meals and talk with other guests. We also loved the location. We felt like it was on the edge of all the action, so we could easily get anywhere, but have quiet when we wanted it.

    friendly staff
    reliable wi-fi

    This place suits me perfectly! The Wi-Fi is reliable, there's secure luggage storage, and the staff are always friendly, helping me print my tickets on my first stay. I can't wait to come back for Christmas!

    Gorgeous hotel, really enjoyed our stay, it had amazing food and excellent location so close to everything you will need or want. Location: the property was adjacent to the center of the town, and restaurants and tours. Also, an imaginatively designed museum was 2 km away.

    Everything is amazing, the internet cafe, the bar, kitchen, sleeping rooms, bathrooms and the location of it. I walked everyday to the waterfront and the station. I definately recommended it to my friends and I wouldn't stay elsewhere whenever I'm in Cape Town again.

    The only thing I didn't like was when I had to leave, besides that there's nothing else.

    cozy atmosphere
    noisy surroundings

    The hostel had a cozy atmosphere, making it

    Easy to connect with fellow travelers. The dorm was spacious and clean, but the location was a bit noisy at night, hard to sleep sometimes.

    Its location in Cape Town was excellent, right by centre of town. The atmosphere created was individual! We stayed in superior queen room with shared bathroom.

    great service but room for improvement

    Fantasia and Tamsyn delivered excellent service! The location is ideal for exploring local attractions.

    The room was somewhat outdated.

    Great value, unique space. Good bar and friendly atmosphere.

    It was difficult to sleep due to the noise of other guests. The walls are thin and it was warm with no air conditioning, so your windows are open making it easy to hear every word...also people smoke outside your window, kinda gross.

    The place had all the facilities you could want. The staff were absolutely brilliant - very friendly and helpful. The hostel was very comfortable and extremely good value for money. We were sorry to leave at the end of the week as we had a super time. I would not have wanted to stay anywhere else.

    Staff were very friendly, you could book tours inhouse and pay deposits on credit card which helps a lot. We did washing there and was able to cook meals with ease. Good set up hostel.

    The bar could have had more deals to ensourage more people there, didn't seem to have much atmospohere apart from staff socialising.
