    I've been to a lot of different hostels in a lot of different countries and have never been to a better one. They have thought of everything. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that genuinely want you to have the best time, lots of partnerships with local attractions, clean dorms, breakfast, nightly group events, great Wi-Fi and accessible electrical outlets with USB ports. Honestly, it makes me wonder why every hostel is not this good. They are the best

    Loved my stay there. My husband and I enjoyed it's central location. The fact that we could make our own food for breakfast was a plus.

    Great hostel in a good area. The activities are also super fun to tag along (for example a homemade dinner or a night out at the art galleries).
    Room and shared bathroom were clean. Breakfast was good (you can make your eggs).
    Felt very welcome :)

    Please, do not call it hostel ! :)
    This place is absolutely amazing.
    First of all, it is conveniently located in Green Point which means close to the Waterfront, Table Mountain and Clifton and Camps Bay beaches.
    Second, it is superbly managed by a crew of guys, always ready to keep you company and give suggestions about what to do/where to go.

    Breakfast included, two fully equipped kitchens where to cook your lunch/dinner, complimentary wifi (also in the rooms/dorms), free parking, spacious communal areas with sofas, books, table games and cable TV.
    Moreover they make up ALL the rooms everyday and change your towels on request (at no extra cost).

    I am not a backpacker but I really love this place.
    Highly recommended.

    Amazing hostel, stayed here a month ago and still remember the staff (especially Milu and Ivor) were very welcoming and happy to reach out, making you feel at home in Green Point. The place actually does look and feel as good as the pictures. Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

    Very nice place to stay in Capetown away from the hustle of the CBD yet still amazingly near to all the landmarks and the waterfront.
    Amazing amazing staff and a stark contrast from most places in cape town where staff is grumpy and unfriendly. The sense of community is refreshing. I love the Honesty Bar visit and find out what that is all about

    Fantastic location. Staff was cheerful and very helpful. They got all our bookings, reservations and directions going for us. Guests feel a camaraderie for other guests. Definitely worth the while for holidayers.

    The staff is friendly, especially Daph and Ivor. I stayed in a room with 4 people, 2 bunk beds. The space is really tight but it's fine if you don't mind rubbing shoulders with strangers. There is also a bathroom in the room that 4 of us shared. It has a shower, sink, and toilet. Very basic. They provide towels for guests so no need to pack those heavy towels in your bag. All other spaces besides your room are shared spaces; the kitchen, the pool, t.v. room, library, amd outdoor area.
