The location was ok. The capsules adjusted to what I expected. The place was clean.
I didn't like the fact the host made me pay a breakage deposit. Maybe that information was available at booking.com but honestly I wasn't aware of that. If I knew there was a breakage deposit I probably wouldn't have book there since it is not fair the host assumes the guests are going to damage something. And from the deposit the host took the cleaning fee. The cleaning fee should be included in the capsule fee as well. It is not normal to charge a cleaning fee and a breakage deposit when the rest of the backpackers places don't do that

Firstly the cape capsuals to describe them I would use the words BLISS, EUPHORIA, FEELING BLESSED, AWE-INSPIRING, SCENIC. CRRATIVE and FEELING HAPPY. I really loved the staff they are all so down to earth and accommodating towards everyone's needs and they are so relaxed (meaning they make you feel at home) the owners and staff are all so so friendly, I am still friends with them. The location is beautiful as it's a stone throw away from the beach ⛱ and a walk or if you aren't up for a walk it's a beautiful drive or train ride (although walking distance) to the hub of kalk bay which is a beautiful tourist attraction and the best place to be with the most amazing shops and restaurants situated on the ocean, which is totally iconic, creative and historical. The design of the Cape capsules backpackers is very very very creative, the mosaic walls that resemble waves are so beautiful and add such a special addition to the entire interior of the Backpackers. I loved the murals, art, and design it's really creative and innovative, as I am an artist myself, I would love to live in a house like that to be honest, the design is really authentic and unique. THE LOCATION: ESSENCE, EARTHY, SUNSHINE, HOMEY, BEAUTIFUL, VIEWS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL WORLD, OCEANIAN & FRESH OCEAN AIR. My partner and i first had a family room which was spacious and amazing with all amenities needed, with a cute little outside section with crystals and shells as decor...(everything in the Backpackers is unique the ornaments are all earthy and hand made and very African and Gyspy inspired and resembles the ocean).
I have nothing that I can say I didn't enjoy about this backpackers, I travel all over and stay all over, I'm on the highest genius level on this site (bookings.com) and I truly have zero complaints about my stay at the Cape capsules in Muizenberg.

It’s cute and well thought out with the travelers comfort and price kept low for this area. It’s right across the street from the beach and sand dunes. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to the downtown shops and restaurants. It feels very safe.
I liked everything here but want to address other comments about the regulations. If you ask the reasoning, they are all about their efforts to keep their guests comfortable, safe, and keep the price down. It’s well run and organized, and the guests stand to benefit. My advice is just show your gratitude and enjoy!

Living right across from the beach filled me with pure joy; the serene sight of the sea greeting me each morning and bidding me goodnight was an experience beyond words. Every day was a reminder of the beauty and power of nature, and being so close to the ocean's embrace made every moment feel like a cherished memory in the making. Additionally, the convenience of having restaurants and a shopping center nearby added a layer of ease to my daily life, allowing for spontaneous dining experiences and effortless retail therapy whenever desired.
I can honestly say that I've never found cause for complaint; each moment has been a delight, filled with joy and satisfaction. From the smallest details to the grandest experiences, I've relished every aspect of the journey.

It was my partners birthday one of the ladies even organized a cute birthday poster on the wall, when we got there it was there and my partner loved it. We were not driving but used an uber to get to this location it is right in front of the road. We didn't even need an uber for other things the beach is right across the road, swimming pool just a few minutes away and so are the restaurants and other facilities. we had fun and still managed to take a walk at night going back to the Capsules, our room was clean they even provided a fan for extra ventilation. We hate shared bathrooms but those bathrooms changed how we look at shared bathrooms in general,they were so clean, tidy and provided all the bathroom necessities. You do pay a Cleaning fee and a deposit when you get there but that was refundable and we could still buy from their mini kitchen using the same deposit. The ladies were well mannered, provided excellent customer service. I am no swimmer but if you are looking for a reasonable place next to the beach to clear your head off this is the place.Tv room, kitchen and smoking area too it is one of those places that are small but cute and worth their price.

A great place to stay with good vibes ! It is a walking distance to the beach and the town for a coffee. You can buy cheap delicious fruits by crossing the road. Maryna and her team always make sure you have a good time and are always very helpful. The place is cleaned and we always meet great people. A lot of fun. Thank you very much for a great time 🥰

My stay at Cape Capsules was great. I loved the vibe and location (close to the beach and store). Because I was staying for almost a week, the owner gave me the bottom capsule so I don't have to keep climbing - very thoughtful of her 😊 Maryna and everyone who works there was nice and helpful. They're very chilled. I had a great time and met amazing people
Wi-fi wasn't working most of my stay there.

After staying at the busy center of Cape Town, it was so nice to stay at Cape Capsules. The vibe is super cozy and chill. Easy to meet people. The owner is very nice. Loved my stay.
Capsules were a bit hot. Although the weather was way hotter than average at the time of my stay.

Great place, good vibe, lots of free things around (tea, coffee, juice, condoms, cooking herbs/spices...), a braai/BBQ meal was also organized on my first evening there. The pizza place upstairs is good and really quick
A bell by the entrance gate would be a welcome addition, it's complicated to get someone to let you in for check-in if you don't have data on your phone (my phone was dead) I don't remember the cleaning fee (100R) being mentioned online either, but can't claim to have read the whole description.
