The place has a wonderful and serene vibe to it - full of pretty little brics and bracs. It is located in a safe, secure and upscale neighbourhood so good for solo women travelers as well. The location is very close to all the main tourist areas so that is an added bonus. The place is very clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast though basic is but fulfilling and one has access to the kitchen at all times and so one can but food items and keep them in the refrigerator to be cooked later. A special mention of the lovely staff at the hotel - Atti, Ntombi and the cleaning ladies! Most helpful at all times with queries and general conversations! This is a quiet hostel (which was a blessing!) and not meant for party animals!
Nothing!

I stayed for four nights in the mixed dorm while traveling solo. The room exceeded my expectations, with a comfy bed (much better than you’d expect in a hostel), an ensuite bathroom, and only three beds. Towels are provided for free, and the room is tidied up daily. Breakfast is also available if you don’t feel like cooking your own (which you can do). The common areas are fantastic—breakfast room, TV room, study room, garden, and swimming pool. A massive added value is the staff, who make you feel like part of a big family and take great care of you. Thumbs up for the activities and excursions you can book through the hostel as well! I also enjoyed the diverse mix of guests, with people of all ages. The area is fine, just few steps away from the sea promenade.

Nice big houses attached, turned into hostel. Very comfy beds, with warm blanket, as I was there in September. Location is good too, safe.
Its not really like hostel which maybe be positive if you are looking for a calm place or not if you want more interaction. Breakfast is limited .

Everything. Good WiFi, quite street, private parking/ first come.../ for 5 cars, 2 spaces at the front with CCTV. Monitoring 24/7. Very kind , helpful, and attentive staff. Interesting place with original decor. Rooms cleaned every day with towels change. 2 huge kitchens, with everything you need. Wonderful breakfast:: many kind of cereals, 4-5 kinds of fruits cut in cubes, 2 yogurts/ plain and fruit/, bread, jam, marmalade, honey, egg, but you have to make them yourself, tea, coffee, peanut butter. They sell alcohol on site. You can book tours. Staff will give you all tips x your staying in Cape Town . Highly recommend.

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. The staff was dedicated, kind, and super ready to help you in any way you might need, going way above and beyond what they are required to do. Facilities are great, as are the common areas. Really nice communal breakfast. There is a business area where you can go for work calls/quiet time. Loved this place, and especially the people.
My only complaint would be the locks/codes for the doors, which frequently stuck and were a bit hard to remember. They could use an update to something easier and more practical, perhaps

I loved that the staff were all super warm and so generous with their time and assistance. The vibes of the place was energetic and the interior design was so simple yet creative and clean. Also there were guests from all over the world and the morning breakfast setup helps you build relationships. I really loved every minutes of it, it was so unique and I can’t keep pinning on the staff and how lovely and helpful and clean the place is.
Nothing at all!

As some describe it, you cannot call this a hostel but rather a hotel with community living. Magnificent decoration, modern and welcoming, with great taste. We appreciated this spirit of sharing common areas, the possibility of being able to use the kitchen, being able to help ourselves to fresh drinks in the fridge, the breakfast area in the morning and the useful advice from very friendly staff available. The room was spacious and comfortable, with the necessary privacy. The accommodation is located within walking distance of the WaterFront, which helps in getting around easily.
We didn't understand that the bathroom would be separate from the bedroom, not a big problem but perhaps slippers and a bathrobe could be provided for crossing the common areas between the two.

The hôtel is super clean and beaaaautiful!! There is also a lot of info on how to enjoy Cape Town and the surroundings. The neighborhood is one the best and very safe , not to mention super central. Again, a special thanks to the membres of the staff who have been really great :)

A healthy breakfast was provided. As a late sleeper, I wish breakfast hours could be extended to 11 AM. They held different events on different days and evenings. Could consider staying longer for those perks. Our room was big with a private bath. Although we didn't use the pool, it was an added feature and provided an outdoor area for reading or whatever. Very quiet location. Fenced parking. Felt safe.
My daughter was on a walker and we hoped for no steps, but we had some to negotiate. We didn't question the assigned room as it was comfortable with the private bath.

have stayed in hostels all over the world and this is my favourite! Everyone has a place here- solo travellers, couples and families. The rooms are spacious, comfy and warm (electric blankets?!!) The breakfast is great and the kitchen is fully equipped, there is a social room with Netflix for movie nights, a working space for us digital nomads and even a swimming pool! The best part of the whole experience is the staff. I never expected so much kindness and warmth. Every single member takes the time to get to know you and this vibe spreads among the guests to create a real feeling of home away from home. Great location, walking distance from beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants. Would 100% recommend this place for anyone is looking to rest, feel welcomed and meet some incredible people.
Literally nothing.
