Such a fun place! Noisy and relaxed at the same time! People have fun, staff arrange things to do, also braais or dinner with african food. Every morning it is free porridge. A perfect place to get new friends!

I came to Cape Town to visit a friend who was staying here, and I really loved the hostel. I'd never been to one before, and I was a little apprehensive, but the hostel's atmosphere is really great, and you meet some lovely people who will be with you throughout your stay in the city! A huge thank you to the bar and reception staff for making me smile every day!

Man muss sich bewusst sein das es sehr laut ist abends und in der nacht aufgrund der Longstreet. Zudem hat das Hostel keine Klima und es kann Vorallem an heißen Tagen enorm heiß werden in den Zimmern. Die Küche und das Personal is mega nett und die Sicherheit is enorm gut.
