08 May 2012 Brianna would recommend this property

Liked: Everything! This hostel is amazing, its a really beautiful modern house in a great area, full of friendly staff and guests and great facilities. Beds are very comfy and the whole place is very clean and has a great vibe to it. Would recommend 100%!

Disliked: 1 small thing - they only offer 8-bed dorms (same as everywhere in town) smaller dorm rooms would be nice too

04 April 2012 JOZEF would recommend this property

Liked: Really great location. Very close to centre, sea, shops, Waterfront. very clean and spacious rooms.

Disliked: For those who want to sleep, it can be sometimes a bit noisy. Sometimes staff itself makes noise or does not care about silence even after midnight. During my stay I had to ask staff twice to secure silence or keep the rules which were settled down by this hostel.

04 March 2012 Tiaan would recommend this property

Liked: A hostel like no other because it was so clean, had a flat screen TV, cleaned every day, fresh towels etc. To be honest it looked more like a really decent hotel than a hostel :) friendly staff, cool bar and terrace with cheap drinks and breakfast and an event a week included. Really very pleasantly surprised!

Disliked: Our room was a little too close to reception and kitchen so a bit noisy in mornings.

Liked: I loved the clean, fun, vibrant atmosphere! This hostel was super clean. The cleaning staff works non stop! Everyone was really friendly and helpful. I loved the kitchen table being set with dishes and breakfast laid out for us each morning. The provided a nice display of breads, peanut butter, jelly, butter, cereal, juice, milk, coffee, tea and fruit. Also, they provided clean towels.

Disliked: The internet was free, but not consistent. I was using an I Pad, so I could not plug in. There were computers available for use.

21 February 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice hostel. Clean and good location.

Disliked: No one was every at the front desk so it was hard to find staff if you had questions or even if you needed to pay. The one girl who work the most was unable to give any travel advice on South Africa and even Cape Town. Very unhelpful. 'I don't know' was the answer to every question.

Disliked: Uni-Sex washrooms that you can not close, instant-coffee, small breakfast, hairs in the shower during my stay, I always felt disturbing the stuff when I had questions, they didn´t give me the new code for the gate after they changed it......

Disliked: After waiting 20mins at reception to pay for my room, I was told by someone that the staff was in their house behind in the swimming pool. Lucky someone knew about it, otherwise I would have been waiting a long time!!!!

23 October 2011 Jo would recommend this property

Liked: Really well presented and very secure. Locked security gate with access code on the external entrance and locked dorms with access codes (so no keys to lose!). Dorm was large and beds really comfy. Well presented and clean. Lockers to keep all your things in with plugs in each (just bring your own padlock or you can rent them from the hostel). TV room, pool table, bar, internet and wifi, fantastic kitchen facilities and good breakfast served from 07:00 to 10:00. Awesome staff who organised a dinner outing and were really interested and eager to get everyone together. Fantasctic hostel with great location

Disliked: Internet was quite expensive in the scheme of things if you just wanted to pop on (40 rand for the day I think) but apart from that - double thumbs up! Keep up the good work!!! x

Liked: This was the best hostel we stayed in during our trip through South Africa. Excellent location 10 min. walk to water front, Green Point Stadium is 5 min. walk; we had a clean, spacious double ensuite room with even a Dutch channel via satellite. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the bar is great fun in the evenings. Breakfast is fine as well.
