This was such a cool place to stay and it is in a really cool situation the view of table mountain is amazing the staff are all really cool and helpful. If you stay anywhere in Capetown it should be here. Thanks for a great stay.

The place is cozy and the staff is friendly, but someone broke in and stole a guest´s belongings while I was there. They should improve the security.

although the place is secure, (safe deposit box is great) they did have some stuff stolen from the place while we were there. Staff hugely helpful though and transfer very cheap. I would go back here. great value for money too.

Staff are really friendly and the place has a nice atmosphere. There are two security doors with locks that you have to key in numbers for. I had a private room (I didnt have a car) and felt the security was good. There is a guest kitchen, tv room, books, cafe and free wifi (you need to ask for the number). From here you can walk to (and see) table mountain - all in all it's a great place to chill out in.close

Zebra is a very nice place to meet/make friends, with an outdoor "courtyard" & cafe where you can sit and talk. Very friendly and effective staff, more toilet/shower facilities than most hostels (including Big Blue) and good location. The "fun" I have rated is "Chill fun" - the place is calm.close

Was pleased overall - the staff were extremely helpful and the courtyards pleasant and relaxing. My only gripe was that there were no storage lockers in the dorms, only a small security box in the reception - enough for small valuables only. That said, there are two security gates to keep...

Great hostel!! Office staff great, very helpful. Clean hostel, several bathrooms so it was nice not to have to fight for space or hot water. Good kitchen facilities. Close to long street - several restuarants, shops, etc nearby. Would stay there again!

Bedding smelled of smoke, but otherwise quite clean. Really nice hostel, and staff were very accomodating considering we checked in at 10 pm and checked out at 5 am! Would stay there again.

Try something with safety of your parking site. Some thief broke the window of our rental cars during our stay. Fortunately rental car firm changed our car immediately.
