Only comment is that the bar is very loud...so if you want sleep on the weekend not a good place.

We were here during the World Cup Draw Announcement on Friday, so perfect location. Bar area was crazy and balcony too full, but besides that pretty awesome!

The strengths of this place are the staff and location. If you show up without having any tours booked no problem, they will get you the best prices on quality tours for just about anything you would want to do in Cape Town. Live music and DJ's every night and don't forget the Sunday Braai. Call or email them to arrange airport transfers, you can't beat the price and reliability. If you plan on sleeping early every night ask for an upstairs room and bring some ear plugs.

While this place is centrally located and incredibly clean, it is a party hostel and if you are interested in getting a good night's sleep, this place is not for you. However, if you enjoy being connected to a bar then I highly recommend this place. Staff were helpful and friendly, however.
