Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The bathrooms were clean , the bedroom was cozy and the sitting area (on the balcony) too, even though it was raining it was still nice to sit there and chill
Stayed one night so not much experience.
All in all a great place to stay, will definitely go back again sometime.
Picture of a shower/toilet in the collection of photos for the standard double room I booked, was misleading, as it was not part of the room, but a picture of the communal faculties. It was pointed out to me that I should have read the facilities included.
施設、スタッフが良かった カフェバーでコーヒー飲みながらの 仕事に良い シャワーもめっちゃきれい
キッチンが狭かった 場所がセンターから遠い所は何とも言えない だから安全とも言えるので 昼から歩いてライオンヘッドまで一通り見れたので歩けない距離ではない
今まで泊まった中でかなり良いホステル!! 古い邸宅を作り替えたみたい、本当に素敵。 プールもシャワールームもキッチンも、全てがいい感じだった。
部屋の中は長期滞在者が多かったのか?上のベッドに登る足の踏み場もないくらい荷物が広げられていた。 それでもロッカーとかはちゃんとあるから自分の荷物管理はしやすかった。人の問題。
Nära till det mesta. Välstädat.
Frukosten kan varit bättre, men samtidigt det är ett backpackers ställe. Helt ok.
I liked the pool and the braai stands, showers are roomy and we'll kept
Kitchen utensils and appliances need an upgrade, rooms are smaller than advertised with minimal furniture.
It was excellent value for money and in a great location
One night a member of staff entered my room without knocking. They thought the room was empty and it was an honest mistake as they wanted to fix something. It was late at night and I was asleep. They apologised and I accepted the apology. Lesson learnt is that knock on the door first
Localisation, calme, beau jardin
La propreté de la cuisine est un peu limite
Convenient and comfortable straight from an overnight flight. Taxi was pre-booked each way to/from the airport. Great for Kloof St. vibe and a short taxi ride to the Waterfront.
It’s a Backpackers so expect some rowdy noise on a Friday night.
Friendly staff, nice location and step above other backpackers!
Bit of a smell in kitchen, probably old food left by clients.
Die Lage ist hervorragend. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit da und wurde durch die Angestellte Zoe stehts kompetent und fachkräftig beraten und versorgt.
Great stay! Beautiful building with lots of places to read, or have interesting conversations with people from all over the world. Good restaurant, too. Incredibly helpful, friendly staff!
É uma casa muito bonita. A localização é fantástica.
Good
None
Value for money, good location, lovely upstairs bar area
The young lady on Reception who checked us in was unfriendly, and the guy who showed me to my room didn't have a good understanding of English. I wish a room with it's own bathroom had been available when I booked.
Location and the grounds. Also quiet.
Bathrooms long way from rooms.
有院子 视野和空间开阔 工作人员非常nice👍
多设置一些女生的房间 同时上下铺都设置帘子 保护隐私
Environment good, noise minimized, a good location and very safe
Super bien placé, sécuritaire, piscine fort utile lorsqu’il fait chaud, douches et toilettes propres. On a eu notre chambre rapidement et plus tôt que prévue après un long voyage (super apprécié).
Nous étions présent en été et il faisait chaud, même la nuit. Le ventilateur au plafond faisait du bruit au maximum et les moustiques entraient par la fenêtre pour nous piquer la nuit. Donc pas idéal. De plus, pas la faute de l’hostel, mais nous avions un enfant au 2e étage de notre chambre qui faisait énormément de bruit (donc l’insonorisation n’était pas optimal). Reste que pour une auberge de jeunesse dans ce secteur, c’est un très bon rapport qualité/prix.
Staff are lovely. The kitchen always clean and ready to use. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Clean bathroom amenities. Always felt safe - gate and door locking mechanisms very secure. Good solid vibe - the place attracts down-to-earth, authentic clientele.
The facility is excellent, clean and well maintained. It's in a very good location within walking distance to restaurants, stores and nightlife. It has a lounge area outside and a swimming pool inside. The staff is available 24 hrs and very helpful.
I would have preferred to have a non-shared room but there was none available because of a big conference/ convention in Cape Town.
Personeel was lief en behulpzaam. Locatie erg centraal!
Gehorig, mensen roken op het balkon en de slaapkamer grenst daar aan, erg vies als je in bed ligt! Er waren ook kakkerlakken in de douches boven :( De faciliteiten beneden waren wel schoon
La ubicacion
Dormir al lado de la,terraza. Mucho ruido a altas horas de la noche
The relaxation factor was insane! Staff were so helpful and the Volunteers made it a fun experience. Fun little social events like a braai or even a deep pool so swim in and relax from a rough/hot day. Kitchen Facilities are really good with an oven!
Friendliness of the staff.
Location and the amenities
El barrio, la casa, la limpieza
Dormir al lado de una,terraza con ruido hasta muy tarde por la noche
Close proximity to town and good eateries. Very helpful and respectful staff. Very clean premises. Perfect water pressure in the showers 😍
Les personnels sont très gentils et disponibles
Les nuits assez agitées par certains occupants
L’accueil, l’emplacement,le jardin, les terrasses, le bar, la piscine
Fenêtres vieillottes et mal insonorisées, bruyant la nuit dû au non respect des consignes nocturnes
Spacious & beautiful outdoor areas
All good
Honestly, this place was perfect. Comfy, clean, quiet and people just come and go, no social pressure or forced backpacker vibes.
The communal kitchen just needs a level up to the hygiene. Its perfectly fine, but could be better to make the overall experience better. things like santizer spray bottles and clean the microwaves daily.
Gute Lage mit der Kloof Street nur wenige Minuten entfernt. Das Personal war super freundlich und gab mir von sich aus ein Zimmer-Upgrade in ein weniger belegtes Dorm.
Bei den Einzelbetten im Dorm wären kleine Ablageflächen oder Steckdosen praktisch.
La réception ouverte tard le soir, le bar / espace repas pour se poser, possibilité d'avoir un petit déjeuner sur place, le patio avec la piscine, les salles de bains récentes, plutôt grandes et fonctionnelles, le quartier calme, facile de se garer.
Notre chambre, près de l'entrée était assez bruyante, aussi bien tard le soir (hôtes qui rentrent) que tôt le matin (équipes de ménage).
Everything was very good thank you. My only complaint is the fact that the wifi in my room was not working properly (I am a student and had to access the wifi in order to study). I will be visiting you guys again very soon and also recommended the accommodation to friends and family
Wifi did not work in my room.
The breakfast was nice
My room was too small and the bad I'd not comfortable
They met all my expectations
Nothing I can say much other than fridge or cold storage
Welding staff, breakfast and location
No air conditioner in the rooms
Ik vond de tuin die erbij zat echt heerlijk. Je kon daar heel rustig zitten en de hangmat was ook top! Het huis is ook echt prachtig en ruim. Ik had het huisje in de tuin en daar was ik echt heel bij mee, dat gaf mij echt ook wat privacy. De mensen achter de receptie waren altijd geïnteresseerd en gaven me een welkom gevoel.
Ik ben niet veel in de bar geweest, daar gebeurde niet veel en lag ook niet zo centraal. Daardoor von ik het lastig om makkelijk andere reizigers te leren kennen.
同部屋の人が扇風機を夜中中回したままで風邪を引く所だった 貴重品のボックスが壊れていて入れるところが無い
Lovely place, and atmosphere! Shoutout to the employes especially Zoe!
The place is very nice and comfortable. There is excellent wifi, enough shared bathrooms and toilets, and a beautiful swimming pool. The staff is colaborative and you can have a good paid breakfast or meals at the restaurant.
I paid 35 US dollars (ZAR 606) for a single room with shared bathroom, which I think is a little excessive price compared to other similar places and overall value of money in South Africa. I was expecting a little more from the place. The shared kitchen is specially very messy and with lacking of utensils.
friendly, communicative, helpful staff
I liked the pool. The bathrooms and showers. The combination locks on the dorm rooms. The onsite bar is also good, with a pool table you can use by inserting a coin. The food options the bar offers and the small tuck shop at reception. The communal kitchen was adequate for what I needed to prepare and store food. I appreciated the Lodge offering guest the option to store their luggage in the store room until their check in. Thanks
I didn't like that the staff who welcomed me didn't introduce themselves or have any name badges for me to meet them. The bunk beds doesn't have a place to leave my electronic devices, water bottle, spectacles or a charging point close to the bunk bed. Otherwise, all essentials were provided.
Un gîte accueillant, bien placé et tout confort...
Pas grand chose... a part la méconnaissance des agents d'accueil dans le tourisme local...
Goede wifi, centraal gelegen, heel aardig en veel personeel. De bedden slapen heerlijk en het is fijn dat er een keuken is en je zelf kan koken. Super hostel.
De sloten op de deur zijn niet gebruikersvriendelijk. Je moet bijschrijven om de knoppen te kunnen zien.
the swimming pool .😆
nothing
Love the location, supermarkets and good restaurants are near by, the staff was friendly.
The toilets were not clean sometimes.
Gostei da recepção por parte dos funcionários, do bar, da estrutura em geral, como cozinha. área de piscina, área dos jardins.
Fica a 1,5 km da Long Street; não é uma distância bacana de ser percorrida todos os dias a pé. Então optei sempre por aplicativos de locomoção.
Everything was perfect. Breakfast was served quickly and was delicious. Service was great.
Nothing needed,
Estrutura excelente, limpeza bem feita e equipe maravilhosa. Todos estavam sempre dispostos a ajudar com um sorriso no rosto e informações seguras. A minha estadia foi muito boa! Recomendo a acomodação e, com certeza, voltaria.
Petit déjeuner le personnel l emplacement le lavabo dans la chambre la vente de SIM card l accueil très sympa
Le bruit le soir et le matin pour notre chambre autour de la piscine La direction devrait peut etre être plus ferme et plus claire avec les guest
staff were very helpful and the location was very nice. My room was very spacious.
the booking was misleading, because a photo of a lavatory in the room made me believe there was a private bathroom. i checked the booking again and it does not say that the bathroom was shared. Also, the walls are very thin and there was a lot of noise from the rooms upstairs and next door.
The atmosphere, the quiet. Nice vibes. Great showers. And it looks really amazing. Love the colonial house vibe
Everything was perfect
Poor Wi-Fi Always disconnecting
Great kitchen, pool, good location, friendly staff and vibe. Ended up extending my stay 3 times
If you are in upper bed in a dorm room, there is no curtains or charge spots in your bed
