I've stayed a few times before. It's a well presented, comfortable place with good staff & WiFi. There's also a new, much larger bar that faces the road. Charging ports by the bed help too.

Well, I’ve stayed in the shared room before moving to the private one. It’s pretty comfortable and spacious, with a huge bed and well cleaned every day. I would just suggest improvements in the window curtain since it still lets a lot of light (which is right above the window) pass to the room. Also, I don’t know if all the rooms have the air conditioning condenser in a compartment right above the bathroom, but mine room had, and it was pretty horrible. When cooling the room, it was too noisy and vibrated a lot, making extremely difficult to sleep. These things considered, I would say it is quite expensive for what it offers, so better hotel rooms can be found around for a more reasonable price.

I liked that they had many activities organised throughout the week. It set me up for friendships that I continued through my stay. The cleanliness was really good and I felt safe there, the beds were made each day and they even made the toilet paper nice and pointed each time too. I liked the bar attached to it and it had nice food. The staff were really friendly and although I didn’t use it, the kitchen looked good and there’s a spar next door where you can buy ingredients. There’s icy water on offer in the Randy warthog where I refilled my bottle which I thought was good. The water is fine to brush teeth with and use, people were drinking from the taps

The hostel is incredible. The room is spacious and very clean, although there were some tiny cockroaches, they only showed up at night (some pest control would be fine). Towels for free are a plus. The area is perfect, with many restaurants, grocery shops, coffee shops in the area (I’ll never forget Giovanni’s). Felt super safe. One day, just commented to a cleaning lady if she had seen my necklace around my bed, not accusing or something like this. Two minutes after she came to the room with another lady to check, and five minutes later the managed showed up in person to assess the situation (I’ve had just found). For me, was very clear how the management is serious on these issues and concerned about the guests satisfaction. Total plus.

I think there is a lot to like in this place. The layout of the hostel allows for outside chill spots, inside reading/working spaces. The restaurant/bar Randy Warthog is actually really good and fair priced, specially considering it's a travellers hostel. Location is great as well and of course the best are the staff, who are attentive, nice and genuinely caring and friendly to guests, an atitude that is contagious to the vibe of the hostel and reflects on how guests interact as well.

In a desperate act in the middle of a night, I’ve booked a private room. There was this mf sent from the deepest of the hells snoring for 3 nights in a row, that kept everyone awake. Even with earplugs. I don’t see any other form for staff to deal with it so, it happens. The price for bike rental I think could be a little bit cheaper, but it’s fine. The tours offered by the hostel (such as Best of the Cape) are also higher than other platforms but I enjoyed it a lot, and luckily the weather was beautiful as never, so total worthy.

Such a beautiful and social spot in one of the best locations in all of Cape Town. The staff are fantastic, helping you with any needs. The in-house bar makes it super easy to meet people and catch sports games (if that’s your vibe). As a solo traveller, this hostel makes it very easyand accessible to meet new people and enjoy Cape Town in a safe and enjoyable way.

Highly recommended, everything is truly great. The absolute best backpacker to meet and socialize with other solo travelers in Cape Town. They regularly organize hikes, tours and activities as well as host a Whatsapp group. My room is cleaned and the bed is made up everyday so you'll always return to a very comfortable environment after your exhausting trips. It's also a 5 minute walk from the hostel to Woolworths for groceries and a Laundromat. There's also a great selection of restaurants nearby.

Location was great, very close to V&A and also promenade so I could easily walk to either. Along the same street there are several food options and also supermarkets so I think it is perfectly located especially for solo travellers who is cautious about safety walking around. I like that guest respects the 'quiet' period from 2200 onwards & free Netflix in the private rooms! Room had all the basic necessities to make a longer stay comfortable. Overall, I enjoyed my stay but wished there was more free social activities.
