I had an amazing stay at this beautiful and super clean hostel. It was perfectly located close to everything like the Table Mountain, V&A waterfront area etc. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The view of the table mountain from the hostel was amazing and pool area backdrop in the night with lights looks so amazing. The beds were comfortable with good big locker spaces for luggage and the rooms were super clean with all the amenities and beautiful ambience. The bathrooms were clean with hot water etc I absolutely loved my stay at the property and would love to stay again on my next visit. Highly recommended!!

“Fantastic base to do Cape Town. Uber and get your guide worked well. Nice people to meet also.”
Very comfortable room in the heart of Cape Town. Bed is ok. Ac is good for hot or cold. Shower is good. The private double room is in the roof so the walls are slanted. But we didn’t mind. The breakfast was basic but really nice. Muesli and boiled eggs with some fruit and pastries.

“ok”
I liked the stay overall and the place itself was nice. However, I felt that the staff often seemed very occupied with their phones and were not always attentive to guests. Simple things such as greeting guests in the morning or being a bit more welcoming and pleasant would have made the experience feel much warmer and more professional.
