You should really try to improve the standard of the hostel --> everything is broken and in very bad conditions. Though I enjoyed the stay, it's the worst backpackers I saw in Southafrica!!! Sorry!!

This is a great place if you're into the party scene. The night life around the Hostel is strong. If you're trying to get to sleep before 4am, you need to stay some place else. Also, parking on the street is limited and costs a lot.

Good central location but noisy at times. Very basic but generally clean. Not particularly friendly, but functional. Stayed better places since.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Rooms and Bathrooms are clean, but there are cockroaches in the kitchen...that is pretty normal for Cape Town though, still i think they could do more to get rif of them.
