It pays its dues to the beautiful scenery of Cape Town and one cannot stress enough the lodge character rather than the type of accommodation as backpacker. From check-in to departure the service was friendly and the accommodation neat (not very spacious though) and value for money even if travelling with your partner. Among all the backpackers in Cape Town this is the one to book! ##### Ralph M Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Couturet, Aix en Provence 7 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities J'aime l'établissement.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful in every way. The backpackers breakfast was lovely and set you up for the day and the views were spectacular especially of table mountain. The rooms were well equipped,bedding clean and bed comfortable. Some of the plugs didn’t work but that’s okah there were more than enough. Overall would definitely recommend to friends due to the friendliness and clean and modern facilities. ##### Izzy Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Muattham 21 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Ashanti Lodge Review Owen and the girl behind the counter were great and John the security guard. They were very helpful. The place itself is very nice, although it comes with the expected 'discomfort' of sharing a room. There was also a duck quacking continuously and really loudly in the morning which woke me. Beyond that, shower facilities and breakfast was awesome. I would recommend the stay. ##### Muattham Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### ASHWIN 30 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value Breakfast was fantastic. People in the corridor talking till late was disturbing.

A very good backpackers accomandation which also has rooms. Excellent activities desk. Excellent fast included wifi. Close to Long Street which has many curio shopping options and great range of entertainment and eating options. Only bad experience was having to pay extra on checking out due to a variance in what Expedia charge my for Queen Room and what they passed on to the Ashanti which is very disappointing. ##### Nathan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice, but pick your room carefully. Everything good about Ashanti, but make sure if you don't like noise or cigarette smoke, don't get a room that adjoins the big balcony overlooking the city - people sit out there until late each night and both noise and smoke come through the windows. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Positivt overrasket Jeg ble positivt overrasket da jeg kom til hostellet. Sengen var komfortabel, det var rent, en god atmosfære og jeg følte det var trygt å legge igjen verdisaker på rommet. Hostellet hadde badebasseng med solsenger, rimelig frokostbuffet (ikke inkludert) og fin oppdeling av toaletter/dusjer. Noe støy, men dette ernoe man må regne med når man bor på en slik plass. Alt i alt veldig fornøyd med oppholdet ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Vinayak 10 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice n comfertable ##### Vinayak ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris, London 1 Dec 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Quite noisy Initially had a very noisy room next to the pool with tables outside in the evening where you could hear every word. Then moved to a room near reception which was very noisy in the morning. The area is not safe to walk after dark so the food offered could be a bit more expansive. ##### Chris ### 4/10 Poor #### julien, France 8 Oct 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Plutôt bruyant ! Nous avions 3 nuits dans ce backpackers avec une mini chambre située juste à côté de la piscine et nous n'avons pas réussi à dormir une nuit complète ... des gens parlaient très fort la nuit tombée, voir même rigolaient et se baignaient à 1-2h du matin ... les femmes de ménage parlent très (trop) fort le matin, mais le ménage n'est pas forcément au rendez-vous :( Si vous aimez les ambiances style Ibiza, c'est pour vous, si c'est pour vous reposer, passez votre chemin. ##### julien ### 8/10 Good #### Not Provided, Melbourne 13 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One of the bst hostels in Cape Town Ashanti run a very efficient hostel and it is always busy with many interesting people staying there ##### Not Provided ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 20 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Accueil parfait Très bien situé personnel très accueillant a recommander ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Oude Werf Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Oude-Werf-Hotel.h2720474.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House at the Queen Victoria Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Manor-House-At-The-Queen-Victoria-Hotel.h19310581.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Waterfront-Village.h889520.Hotel-Information) > > [Babylonstoren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Babylonstoren.h5030791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alphen Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Alphen-Boutique-Hotel.h46794.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED V&A Waterfront, Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel-VA-Waterfront-Cape-Town.h18644202.Hotel-Information) > > [Krystal Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Krystal-Beach-Hotel.h15651822.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Hotel Lions Eye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Houghton-View-Guest-House.h10633636.Hotel-Information) > > [The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Twelve-Apostles-Hotel-And-Spa.h548889.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain Marina Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Mountain-Marina-Luxury-Apartments.h24940058.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria and Alfred Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Victoria-Alfred-Hotel.h46797.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel by NEWMARK](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Winchester-Mansions-Hotel.h119452.Hotel-Information) > > [River Manor Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-River-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h485182.Hotel-Information) > > [The Clarendon - Fresnaye](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Fresnaye.h3004641.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Marriott Hotel Crystal Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Marriott-Hotel-Crystal-Towers.h2774348.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-AC-Hotel-By-Marriott-Cape-Town-Waterfront.h29305328.Hotel-Information) > > [Camps Bay Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Camps-Bay-Retreat.h1100401.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean View House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Ocean-View-House.h3091584.Hotel-Information) > > [Tintswalo Boulders](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Tintswalo-At-Boulders-Boutique-Villa.h31526122.Hotel-Information) > > [President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-President-Hotel.h526107.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marly Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Marly-Hotel.h6885966.Hotel-Information) > > [Vineyard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Vineyard-Hotel.h523689.Hotel-Information) > > [Lawhill Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lawhill-Luxury-Apartments.h4280116.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Ritz-Cape-Town.h520317.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront Cape Town](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Waterfront.h545852.Hotel-Information) > > [The Portswood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Portswood-VA-Waterfront.h526896.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Bay-Hotel.h18132.Hotel-Information) > > [The Commodore Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-The-Commodore-Hotel.h83744.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Town Beachfront Apartments At Leisure Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Cape-Town-Beachfront-Apartments-At-Leisure-Bay.h1909894.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Town-Hotels-Lagoon-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1320739.Hotel-Information)
