The cigarette smoking. Other than my room, it was difficult to find clean air spaces. I had anticipated the noise and crime in the area, but the hotel was very secure at night.

The friendly staff and the many activities they provided. Also, I was able to make several new international friends.

Good services for the value.

A change of linen if staying for more than a week.

Everything was great.

The atmosphere was great, from the staff to the other guests. There is even a WhatsApp group where everyone can get to know each other and get to travel to attractions together.

The bathrooms I have used are not separate from the toilet, but I guess the fact that there's many alternatives for bathroom helps.

The room was up to my expectation. I was impressed with the communal areas: The Bar, the TV room, and the Working Room was the best feature even though I didn't have to use it, I now know next time I can have a little office at accommodation for my work.

Staff, atmosphere, location

Stayed in March 2024

I would like to have free coffee in the morning provided to deal with the hangovers.

The general vibe was great in the hostel, the dorms were spacious and airy, the location is spot on as Long Street has a lot of bars. The bar is awesome and they have nightly activities to get everyone chatting. Good balconies as well! Also, the staff are really helpful and friendly (Ivan, Aya, Mia, Ursula, Willow) and Conrad is the Braiimaster General and knows where the nightlife is at! Can't wait to get back to CPT.

The beds were a little bit uncomfortable and at times it was quite hot in the rooms at night, also, there is quite a bit of noise that permeates throughout the whole hostel but that is due to the location. Long street is not known as a quiet area of Cape Town, so it's not really the fault of the hostel.

Super lively hostel with daily events and a bar! It's right on long street so you are staying at the heart of the city in Cape Town, which is both a good thing and bad thing if you are trying to get some good rest because you are always finding something new to do!

Some cockroaches, but tbh they are just part of central Cape Town

Central, always something going on, in-house bar and nice courtyard and balconies

Friendly staff, good location and quite good bed

Not every dorm room has lockers to store your belongings. Mine had 3 for 4 beds. And the other connected rooms didn't have any.

Central location, easy to get to places. Cute little courtyard to chill. Great staff and people. My stay was unfortunately short, I would have loved to join the activities offered by the hostel.

maybe the mattress need a change soon since they’re already really sinking in the middle so a bit uncomfortable to sleep in

community areas, bar, staff, really nice people & lots of cool activities the hostel organised

Stayed in February 2024

Nothing to be honest

It was clean and very close to restaurants and most activities!

Stayed in February 2024

Nothing really, maybe the noise, it is in one of the main streets of Cape Town, with bars and restaurants

Staff staff staff! The staff is amazing! Lovely people, interested, kind, relaxed! It was the reason I extended my stay from 3 to 8 days, thank you so much guys ! Place has good rooms, a very nice balcony to sit, drink and chat with people, clean bathrooms and a good kitchen

Stayed in February 2024

There is no big cheap supermarkrets around this street, Only SPAR in 600 metres to south.

This is good location in center of Capetown. Long street is tourstic area and safe. You will see many Westerns along all this street. Many small shops, old houses and mosques around.

Great common area and social atmosphere. We were a little apprehensive to stay on long street but felt perfectly safe during the day! (We ubered everywhere at night). The private room we were in was connected to an odd little dorm room with one bunk bed which was a bit weird having to walk through what felt like someone’s private dorm when they were sleeping in the morning. It worked though! Great value for money, clean, well equipped kitchen, and friendly knowledgeable staff :)

If you need rest it's not the best place

It's a loud hostel in the middle of Cape Town's top party street. It has a bar and two balconies where you can sit with a beer and watch the street. So, whenever you're in that mood, it's an excellent place. Nice and helpful staff.

Stayed in January 2024

The Street we stayed on was very noisy and had some beggers asking for money every time we left the building, we now know clubs only stop their music at 6 am. XD

The Staff and people were friendly, Cant wait to go back. 10 out of 10 would stay again! Also a lovely bar area where you can make new friends from around the world and tell one another stories from your ventures!

There are things that need to be maintained. Door lock and showers and kitchen sink

Can be loud depending on the day you are there such as on a weekend. Staff and the llodge try their best to mitigate noise witin the lodge after a certain hour as much as possible, but it can be quite noisy. The rooms can also be quite stuffy and hot at night even with provided fans.

Great location and very helpful/ friendly staff at this lodge. If you're looking for more of a party vibe and easy access to night life and locations within much of the city of Capetown this is the place for you.

Very close to clubs and can hear loud music all night

Great facilities, friendly staff, close to everything

There were a couple things: - no hand soap in the bathroom?!?!?!? - the bathroom could use an additional scrub from mold and yellow stains. - when I checked in, the guy just showed me the room and that was it. Later on seen other check ins where they explained them what is where around etc. I think they had a bar/coffee shop but since nobody explained me and could not find staff to ask in there-maybe it works at some point but this is all I got! - there was a lady with slightly passive aggresive vibe who gave me a door code to use at night and later on told me if I use it during the day, it would take less time to get in (make up your mind on what you want guests to do). - at night is quite noisy from the streets ( and if you are unlucky like me someone may decide to slam doors at 2am for fun, you get woken up). Overall, they have the facilities. It is good for a short stay-1-2 nights.

The hostel is located on long street which is city centre and where loads of restaurants and bars are, and the red bus pickup location is close by and the walking tours gathering points (5 min away). I had my own room which was good-comfy bed, a fan and a desk. I stayed there for 2 nights, but did not socialise much with people in-jet lag kicked in after I arrived. There is a commubnal kitchen which has majority of what you may need to cook so that was good. It is good for a short stay...but I personally did not like the vibe.
