Comfortable rooms, bedding and clean bathrooms. Really nice bar/resturant on the first floor with good food. Terrace bar closes at 10 and the first floor bar closes at 12 so things got quite for a good nights rest. It would be nice to have air conditioning but the ceiling fan worked ok. I would like there to be charging stations on the back patio. Overall a very good place to stay and I would absolutely stay here again. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Overall, I'm satisfied with the services and facilities. However, I had negative experiences during my stay. I will show you those positive and negative experiences below. \[Positive Experiences\] 1\. The original event in this hostel took place everyday. It was easy to socialize other guests. 2\. Some staff hired the specific tour company. If you want to join a tour, they can accommodate one! 3\. All staffs were really courteous and friendly. \[Negative Experiences\] 1\. The security key to enter my room frequently voided. I and other roommates always asked the receptionist to revaild it almost everyday. 2\. The electricity circuit in the certain floor was broken. During my stay, it was sometimes impossible to charge my phone and other electrical devices. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tatiana 15 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muito bom! Ótima escolha para Capetown e para conhecer pessoas. A localização é ótima, tem comércio e ótimos bares/pubs na rua e próximo a tudo. O hostel tem um bar no térreo e outro no último andar, facilitando a interação dos hóspedes. O café da manhã apesar de simples é bem gostoso e a equipe muito simpática. A única coisa que senti falta foi de um cofre no quarto compartilhado. O hostel não oferece toalhas, mas você pode comprá-las, por um preço não muito barato. Me hospedaria lá novamente. ##### Tatiana Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luana 31 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good to meet people The place is very exciting! ##### Luana Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Backpackerställe med aktiviteter och god frukost! Stannade i 6 nätter i girls doorm room som hade fantastisk utsikt över Table Mountain. Det va ett härligt backpackerställe, med lyxig frukost, gott kaffe, billigt vin, god mat och många aktiviteter. Majoriteten i personalen var även väldigt trevliga och professionella, men ett fåtal (några av grabbarna i personalen) rökte marijuana mitt på dagen i hotellets anläggning och hade ett otrevligt språkbruk genom att de talade illa om och till de kvinnliga gästerna, vilket kändes väldigt opassande. Jag var själv inte drabbad men såg hur de betedde sig. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Fun times Great place to stay! The staff is great and the rooms on the lower floors seemed better updated. Very loud on weekends nights. This is the place everyone seems to go to hang out! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 May 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness The hostel is in a great location in Cape Town and has a thriving bar downstairs,especially on Saturday and Sunday. The service on arrival was great and the reception team were mostly very friendly (the occasional staff member who seemed to think serving customers was above them) and helpful, booking a few excursions for us. The hostel wasn't the cleanest that I have stayed in, in Cape Town which definitely let it down a bit.A bit more attention to detail on the cleaning front would make a real difference. Overall though a great location, especially for the younger crowd and a great place to meet people whilst in Cape Town. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 7 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### hip hostel for young people Hip hostel for young people. Nice terrace where a small breakfast is served. In the evening bar/restaurant with music and meeting point for lots of young people. But you can hear the music and talk in the room, thats why not quiet for sleeping but good for party people. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sthephane 20 Feb 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Animação é aqui! Foi uma ótima estadia! O hostel é dedicado em fazer a interação dos seus hóspedes, me hospedaria com toda certeza de novo! Faça a questão de conhecer os staffs Justina, Henzo e Bernardo! Eles são incríveis! Mas evite ao maximo conhecer, o Carol, é um membro da recepção que se acha e é grosseiro! Tirando isso, tudo excelente. Inclusive as comidas do bar! Público jovem!

Full of young travellers drinking- seems a bit of a pick up joint. Typical hostel atmosphere. Seemed expensive for value received. All in all I enjoyed my stay, the friendly staff at the reception make up of other shortcomings ##### Eva ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben, Hamburg 6 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay The hostel has a bar on the premises (good breakfast included), which closes at 11 pm. This makes it lively, yet you can still get enough sleep, if you want to. They also offer great free activities everyday where you can meet new people. I really enjoyed my stay! (A locker with power outlet on every bed was also very nice!) ##### Ben ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lais 5 Dec 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente Hostel. Excelente hostel. Fiquei em quarto privativo, não tive nenhum problema. No primeiro andar tem um bar/lanchonete, que a noite fica super agitado. Mas dá 22:00, eles respeitam os hospedes e a agitação acaba. O hostel promove varias atividades, staff super atencioso. Ótimo lugar para conhecer gente nova. ##### Lais ### 8/10 Good #### Anna 2 Dec 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Hippes Hostel mitten im Herzen von Kapstadt Eine Gute Adresse für Leute, die mitten im Herz von Kapstadt sein wollen. Das Hostel bietet jeden Tag Aktivitäten an und das Personal ist extrem hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist nicht gross aber die Qualität ist ok. Mein Zimmer ging direkt zur Bar raus, so dass ich nicht versuchen musste, vor halb elf zu schlafen (die Bar schliesst um zehn). Auch roch es im Zimmer nach Rauch und der Ventilator ging nur, wenn das Licht brannte. Insgesamt für den Preis eine super Option, wenn man nicht lärmempfindlich ist. ##### Anna ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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) ---
