You could spend your whole time here and not need to leave. You shouldn't, but you could. Daily activities, full restaurant cafe, coworking space, lots of personal storage in the dorm, chic design, and two good old dogs. Location a stone's throw from the Rock surf point, good for beginners and intermediates.

“Fab dorms, friendly guests and staff :)”
Stayed in the 8 bed dorm room. The room had great facilities including 2 bathrooms, concrete bunks with privacy curtain, powerpoint, lamp and shelves inside the bunk. Then a huge locker is available for each person with it's own light to fit your luggage in. So much space for each person to keep their things together. Would recommend to stay there everyone is very friendly :)

“Great value and good location.”
Great location, we stopped off for a shower on the way to the airport, as we normally would not book a hotel. But we would go back!
