Your basic hostel. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. One major plus was that the internet was free and worked great!

I could not take a shower on my first night as there was no hot-water running for that particular shower. But other showers were apparently Okay which I didn't know at all. Very helpful staff, clean and good location. I would've stayed longer if credit card payment was acceptable.

Lovely Hostel. As a young female travelling alone I felt really safe and at home here. Not wanting to head out at night it was lovely to sit in the bar for a few beers before making a home cooked meal and settling in the comfy lounge for a chapter before bed. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great location, but a bit of a strange vibe. Staff is pretty helpful, but security is definitely an issue as things were stolen from people during our stay.

I thought for the money that this place offered everything I needed. It had a relaxed feel to it and it was a nice place to come back to after a day or night out. The people at the front desk were very helpful.

We spend the first 4 nights there and we loved it. Very clean, very friendly people, nice breakfast and lovely places to hang out. It is a bit far away to the Waterfront, but very close to Long Street. So, we would recommand it

I felt very relaxed and safe. I was on my own and felt very secure. I had a small but very clean room. All white. White walls, white sheets & white duvet cover. There was a heater in the room but I didn't need it as it was very warm anyway. The cooking & storage facilities in the hostel were good and it was possible to buy breakfast & tea/ coffee/drinks all day long & well into the evening. A lovely place with lovely people. I can thoroughly recommend it.

Im not a backpacker type, but I was spending 2 nights in Zebra and I was absolutely pleasently surprised. Its a lovely, friendly, clean, safe hostel with a very good location and a familiar ambience. I booked a single room, but, since it was very small, for more small amount i got the best room with a fantastic wiew of table mountain. Running this hostel, special thanks for Susan and Stacy, for their kindliness, helpfulness. This hostel is absolutely recommendid!

Staff was very helpful... although the office is only open until 8pm. But this is a very laid back and friendly place to stay

Clean and friendly, Zebra world met all our expectations. The food was fantastic... lots of it and catered to Halal, gluten free and vegetarian. Felt more like I was in a zoo rather than a safari since most of the animals are fed. I question the morality of a cheetah breeding center since the cheetahs have not mated in 3 years. 10,000 hectars is a good amount of space. the giraffes were great.

Nice safe location, well priced, safe, clean (multiple showers and bathrooms so there is never a wait) free wifi, and the ladies that run it are very informative and friendly..... overall a great place to be based while in cape town. It has a more quiet and chilled atmosphere than the other hostels, which for me is a huge plus!! Higly recommended!

Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality, you really made our "home base" a great place to come back to. Your kind staff made us feel like part of the family.
