Hostels in Western Cape, South Africa

My staying was wonderful! Comfortable location, polite staff, clean and cozy rooms! Worth to visit and stay in it! Excellent👍

Apart from the hassle of a self service checkin, this place has all the amenities, the space and the crew to make your stay a comfortable one. Beds come with individual lights and charging points, as well as a decent size locker to stuff your day pack. Each bed also comes with a small compartment to stuff your small items. There’s a super mart next door for the self caterers and the bus stop is just a skip and a hop away.

The hostel itself is stylishly designed with modern amenities and cozy communal areas where I could relax and socialize with fellow travelers. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the vibrant city.

I really liked the accommodation. It is located within walking distance from the bus stop and taxi rank. nearby and also within walking distance of the city center, Main Street, observation decks with stunning views and the beach (but the water is terribly cold and you will not be able to swim in any of the beaches in Plettenberg Bay). I was met by a pdministrator named Debbie. She is very friendly and smiling, tried to help in everything (even in things that are not part of her duties). The reception has all the information about the attractions nearby, local taxi numbers (bolt taxi does not work in Plettenberg bay), information about restaurants and their menus, and you can book excursions. the room itself was very clean, including the toilet was in perfect condition. there is a TV and everything that is stated in the ad. on the downside, I spent only one night at the location, but the electricity was turned off twice (both times in the evening) (but there was no light on the entire street, or maybe in the entire city, so it's not the fault of the accommodation). Plettenberg Bay itself is amazing (and safe even after sunset)

Overall, everything was satisfactory, I'd give it a 4/5. There was parking available, and a pool of sorts – even though the water was ice cold, it was good for a refreshing dip. The only thing that bothered me was having to pay 100 R for a towel upon checkout, which we didn't even really use. If we had known it was chargeable, we wouldn't have taken it at all, and honestly, 500 rubles to rent a towel seems quite steep to me. The room was clean and spacious enough for us, and the bed was comfortable. The soundproofing wasn't great; we were worried about hearing evening gatherings from the communal kitchen, but somehow everyone dispersed at a certain time and it was quiet. And you could say there's no breakfast. But for a couple of nights, it's a decent place to stay.

Pili-Pili is a “Great location” on Shedgsfield the beach with single rooms and communal en-suite rooms available with seaviews from the balcony. Roof terrace gives you a stunning option to enjoy your pre lunch drink. Proceed downstairs to order and watch your delicious pizza (your choice of toppings) cooked in one of two wood fired ovens. Staff are all friendly and helpful I strongly recommend staying here.

Fantastic hostel. Felt like the very best in Southeast Asia. Huge common room (with VHS selection! Hah). Good bar on premises, and just a cool, chill, communal vibe. Don’t expect much else, and it’s a bit of a walk to the beach (like 5 minutes, not much) but for a good surf hostel it’s great.

The location is excellent in Cape. It is close to the long street and large supermarkets, so you don't have to walk. There is a bar downstairs. Although it is noisy, it is very safe. The service is very enthusiastic. Everyone is very enthusiastic. It is a good choice for me who is not very good at English. It is also very clean. The girl at the front desk enthusiastically guided me how to play in Zhoushan and Mong Kok. She was not tired of it. I stayed in this hotel for six nights and felt very happy and made a lot of friends. 🥳

Отличный отель, очень уютный ресепшен. Большие зоны кухни. Уютный и чистый номер. Большая ванная комната. На ресепшен очень внимательные администраторы, все объясняют куда пойти и чем заняться в городе
