I've stayed there a few nights, and return again & again; even contemplating a long stay. The place is clean; the communal kitchen & lounge area is inviting, the in-house pub & adjoining balcony is cosy and gives the feel of a private party, above the bustle of Long Street below. Communal bathrooms are OK, kept clean. I love the many nooks & turns & corners of the old house and the creaking wooden floors. But the guests are what make the place feel like a home away from home -- an eclectic mix of local & foreign visitors passing through the city. There's a feeling & atmosphere of being in a backpackers in a foreign city, somewhere abroad, making one feel as if one is on holiday, somewhere away from home. I love this place! It's become my accommodation of first choice, for a party night or two in the city.

Great location

Right in an area not far from the City centre. İt has BBQ facilities so you can make a South African Braai and also has a small pool :) :) The waterfront is just 10 min walk and the neighbourhood has lots of restaurants, markets, laundry, etc Bo Kaap is 20 min walk

I stayed for a week, this youth hostel in Cape Town is very clean. There is a separate bathroom. My roommates are very friendly and come from all over the world. The front desk clerk is very hospitable.

I have to admit to being a bit dubious about kicking off our holiday to Cape Town in a ‘hostel’ but, in fact, we both agreed we loved every moment. The rooms are immaculate, very comfortable, clean, and to be honest equipped with absolutely everything we needed. The bar area was lovely, very reasonable for a few evening drinks. Also, great pizzas, breakfasts and really friendly staff. The facilities are ideal for a Cape Town base, as is the location: we loved that we could pretty much walk everywhere from the hostel, from Sea Point to the V&A to Bo Kaap. Overall, we have no hesitation in recommending this place and would stay again next time we visit.
