My boyfriend and I tried to find a reasonably priced double room in a hostel for 4 nights in Cape Town, but unfortunately didn't have much luck. In the end, we decided to 'rough it' on Long Street for 2 nights, and then splurge a little on a nicer room at Bohemian Lofts in Observatory (see separate review) for 2... More

Clean dormitory, stunning view from terrace. There is a dance café one floor under the rooms, also many pubs, disco's in the close surroundings around Carnival Court BP! They do nothing for convenience of guests. Cleaning personnel are not friendly for guests, because they used showers in the morning, while they are cleaning sanitations... Every visitor of dance café has... More

If you want to sleep then don't stay here! The noise is unbelievable - music and voices from the bar and the street until 4 in the morning and then the clearing up begins with the sound of glass bottles followed by construction workers and the noise associated with that industry! Make sure you have headphones and your own music... More

The location is great for partying!!! Directlt on long street and the bar with the balcony are definitely worth going to!!! But: it wasn't really clean (bathroom, dorm and kitchen) and the security issue mentioned before is definitely not so good... I actuallt found way better hostels in the same area that were sometimes even cheaper... I won't go there... More

If you stay here don't plan on getting much sleep, once the bar in it shut down, you could still hear the one across the street blaring music till the wee hours. Otherwise the bar was great with a good mix of international and locals. Great for travelers without a car. The place was pretty well kept, minus a few... More

The first impression was that it was a nice staff and a OK place to stay for two days. But after we had left the hostel we found out someone had stolen money from us. 240 dollars were taken from me and 90 dollars were taken from my friend. We had the room all by ourself, so it must be... More

Stayed here twice on consecutive weekends so we definately knew what to expect! The location is great - right in the middle of the bars and restaurants on Long St. Pretty central for the daytime sightseeing and the nightlife. The rooms we had on both occasions were above the bar so it was very noisy but we didn't mind as... More

The room we stayed in was super small and unclean with a leaky sink. The kitchen was disgustingly dirty. It was incredibly noisy with music blaring twell into the wee hours for all three nights I stayed there. The bar is open to the public and you had to cross through the bar/pool room to get to the bathroom. Two... More
