Can do better! Noisy place, by heavy work and by air extractors

Very noisy place because of heavy work and air extractors right next to the window of the dormitory room 6 beds girls. The manager was not nice too, but the team was rather nice. It is a big hostel with a lot of traffic, I have moderately liked and I will not recommend this place.

Fantastic 10.0

Randy

Nice communal area and bar. Good vibes around

They make you feel at home the moment you step inside the hostel. The travel desk is very efficient on information and activities you cna do to make the most of your stay in Cape Town. Clean and comes with a pool! Will definitely be back.

Great 8.9

Patti

Well positioned

The hostel is close to the Waterfront, within walking distance on all points of interests. The staff are genuinely friendly, approachable and hospitable. They serve a really satisfying breakfast for an extra charge. There is also an inhouse bar whose food and drink does not disappoint.
