Liked: Nothing
Disliked: We had booked a double room two weeks in advance to our stay and the booking was confirmed and the reservation done. When we arrived, the hostel manager would tell us that the booking from hostelbookers .com never come through and that we can be lucky that he is such a good guy and will give us a 7-people drom room with bunk beds all to ourselves with no one else in there. The room was terrible, the hostel dirty and unpleasant and the service not good.

Liked: i liked how close it was to the waterfront area but also how it was a bit more private and there was a nice coffee shoppe and grocery nearby. I appreciated the help given but not as friendly as could have been. Good bed and bonus room with tv and small fridge.
Disliked: the property description was misleading. our room was right near the front door, the breakfast/internet/reception area. the people upstairs made a lot of noise at 4.30am- not coming back from a party or anything, it sounded like a fight and lots of thuds and raised voices.

Liked: leaving.
Disliked: when we arrived our room wasn't properly cleaned. there were still dirty towels in the bathroom, the toilet was stained and the bedsheets hadn't been changed. the duvet smelled like it had been sprayed with perfume rather than washed. as we had to pay on arrival we had to resort to buying new bed linen as it wasn't fit to sleep there .

Liked: Altona Lodge is an excellent place if you’re looking for a safe and secure place to stay in Cape Town. The manager is a very pleasant and professional ex-policeman with an extended knowledge and understanding what it takes to make your stay safe in a friendly atmosphere. Great location, close to the Waterfront and the beautiful new Greenpoint Football stadium. Highly recommended..
