It was noisy at night but the staff moved us to the quieter side of the hotel. Nothing wrong with the night life just not suited to our needs on this trip.

If you are looking for a quiet nights sleep then this is not the place. Partying in a bar across the road was very very loud and continued until 4AM each night. This was a real blight on our stay. We also had to clean the bathroom in our ensuite room ourselves as it was quite dirty.

In the middle of the Cape Town fun, the staff increible amiable, very clean place but as all the places in Long Street, you need earplugs if you dont party at nights.

The staff: Nicki, Meagan, Devon were really helpful and fun. Would stay there again if they were still there as they made us feel really welcome! Hostel has a great central location and nice relaxed atmosphere (for Long Street anyhow!) Thanks again for all your help...

Notice that there is no breakfast, included or to buy. Notice also that there are very few poweroutlets (for laptop use for example) - and places to sit to use the laptop. Notice also that the reception is not open 24/7. The bar is not in use :-( The balcony is wonderful.

No bar and kind of noisy since a club nextdoor is open late and plays loud music. Besides that, great place. Awesome staff!

How it is possible to have a room with a bath with only a tub and no wire so you can be able to wash your hair? Filling up the tub only to do a quick wash is waste of energy as well...

Centrally located, but louc...it's right on Long Street. By the third night we got used to the noise. Be warned. Otherwise, this is a great hostel...right in the middle of the action!

This hostel is in a convenient location if you like the strip on Long Street. It is very, very loud though as are the rest of the hostels in the area. Decent kitchen, honor internet, very secure with the double key system...travel desk if you need it.
