Good points :ppl very friendly and will help out wit any questions. laundry is cheap (30ZAR per bag), and can be done daily. great location. decent prices. nice crowd at night. quite a chilled out atmosphere. not so good points (depending on what you're looking for!): noisy at night, the hostelworld website advertised airport pickup but this does not happen even when the hostel is emailed personally. have to pay for internet.

Perfect for a few nights of debauchery in Long Street. Excellent location if you want to visit the bars and restaurants on Long Street, if you want early nights then you might find it difficult to sleep from the noise in the street. Friendly people and an extremely good price.
