Liked: i did NOT like the live bands in the hostel. There are mant bars where you can go to... You can only sleep in the hostel, but NOT when there is live music, wich is very loud... I like to party, but when i want to... The twin room was very very small...

Customer review

09 October 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It is right in the middle of all the action. At night, there are fun things happening every night up and down Long Street, including in the hostel itself. They go out of their way to arrange any kind of day trip or tour that you could want. The staff were helpful and accomodating at all times and actually even partied with us in the hostel bar. The dorm rooms were clean and spacious by hostel standards and the bathrooms were kept immaculate. My only complaint is in the noise level. DO NOT stay here if you don't plan to party. The hostel bar is going strong until at least 2am every night, and depending on the location of your room, that might be a problem.

Christopher Fisk

15 March 2007 Christopher would recommend this property

Liked: Great staff who pointed me to all the great things to see in Cape Town, arranging tours and took time from their hectic duties at the desk to have a chat - could not have asked for nicer people. Long Street is a busy, often noisy street, but that's what makes it fun. When I didn't want to join the happenings in the bar or buzz on the street, my mp3 player or their complimentary earplugs came in handy. The staff is also wonderfully social and introduced me to their friends and other guests, which broke the social ice. Kitchens, bathrooms and common areas were fastidiously clean. This is a fun, funky spot in the heart of it all - I can't wait to return!

06 February 2007 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, close to all amenities, friendly atmosphere. But incredibly noisy at night in dorms, as the bar/music is right next door to dorm rooms, and it's loud till about 3am...if you have earplugs it's fine- that was my only issue. Clean bathrooms, good kitchens, bit of a walk to a decent supermarket, but a small convenience store practically next door. Overall a really good stay.
