Summary of traveller reviews

Never At Home Kloof Street in Cape Town is praised for its excellent location, vibrant atmosphere, and exceptionally friendly staff who make it easy to meet people. The hostel offers great activities and a clean environment, feeling more like a hotel. Some rooms can be noisy due to the bar below or street noise, and a lack of AC can make them hot.
