Liked: Close to great cafes.
Disliked: Note that this hostel caters to workers as well as travellers. In our dorm, we had people getting up at 5am every morning to get to work. On our last night, the guy getting up turned on the light and made lots of noise - such a pain. If you value your sleep, perhaps best to get a private room.

Liked: My third stay et the Green Ele. It is still well-run, friendly, and a good choice for social backpackers wanting to stay in Obz.

Liked: We felt at home from the first day on. Observatory has all you need:bars,supermarkets,restaurants. This hostel makes you want to stay longer!minibuses transport you easy enough into the city centre. Staff is always knowledgable, helpful, in a good mood and happy to chat. Long term residents give good advice, too. Security also satisfies, there are private lockers etc. Good wi-fi, laid-back common rooms and sea-view from the terrace. Enjoy :)
Disliked: The 'green room' dorm needs more windows, but all other rooms have plenty of fresh air!

Liked: As first time backpackers we were not really sure what to expect from a hostel, the Green Elephent was a pleasant surprise. The staff there are friendly and cannot do enough for you. Howard the owner helped me change a tyre on the rental car and Edwina was always there to rescue me at the drinks machine. She had the knack or maybe it just liked the pretty girls ;-). The cleanliness of our room and cleaning service was on par with any hotel I've stayed at, the security too. The all you can eat pizza night on a Thursday is a bargain and must for all that stay there. It was a very pleasant base for us to stay at, the staff made us very welcome, thank you.
Disliked: Nothing worth mentioning

Liked: Amazing staff and a social hostel to meet other travelers, students, and locals. Plenty of common space - internet lounge, large communal kitchen, tv room, balcony braai, front pool and bar. Great place to visit and hangout, even if not staying at the Green Elephant.
