I am at this hostel for 8 weeks and loving every second of it. The staff are like family (Mama Fefe, Papa Andy) and have made the hostel a home away from home. I would one million percent recommend staying here.

A little disapointed considering it has won the best backpackers in Africa for the last 2 years.

The place was being renovated, and the workers took my towel! The door would not lock. Staff helped arrange tours, but then weren't so helpful. Had to drag a heavy bag up steps, and the place is not exactly central to anything!

Without a doubt the best hostel in SA. The staff were second to none from the owner to the security staff. They were extremely helpful and have really done their research on the tours they offer. Having seen other hostels in cape town there is no doubt whether you are travelling alone or in a group this is where the most fun can be had. Honestly can not think of a single negative. Thanks cape town backpackers! I WILL be back!
