It was a fantastic place to stay, great chilled out vibe As a couple in our 60’s thought it might be noisy but it wasn’t at all. The staff were really friendly and helpful. If we return to Cape Town we would definitely stay here again but for longer.

Best hostel accommodation in Cape Town

Best hostel accommodation in Cape Town. Great staff and vibe. Rooms are spacious with safe luggage storage. It gets somewhat noisy at night from bars below the hostel, but you can buy earplugs from reception.

The place is just too noisy, do not stay here if you want to get any sleep. When doors close it vibrates through the whole building plus the noise of people drunk leaving the bar and running through the corridors and stairs is too much.
