What you get is not what is advertised.
It was damp and you could smell the toilets in the rooms
I walked out of the establishment and booked myself into the Holiday Inn Express for the night.
We loved the location and staff very nice. My complaint would be that the 10 pm quiet time is not ENFORCED. ON WEEKENDS it is very loud into the wee hours of the morning.
Would definitely stay again in Cape Town. Best part is friendly staff at desk who were always more than happy to help us with any questions and concerns we had. They helped us book tours and we shared some great conversations together as well.
We arrived on a Saturday and stayed a whole week. We had our own room (for three) and a bathroom included. The room was small and our bathroom was missing a towel rack, but overall we had a great time at this hostel! Our favorite staff member was Donniel, she was so friendly and caring and made sure that we had the best time. We ate delicious breakfast, the wifi was OK, not always the best, and the atmosphere of the hostel was lovely. We loved the location because we could get a delicious bite to eat just around the corner. We would recommend taking an uber instead of a taxi- much cheaper! The tours we booked through the hostel were wonderful and it was generally very quiet for having so many people staying there. Will stay there again when I return!
