The facilities include 3 houses that cater to every kind of budget traveler, internet access, a tour desk, a fully functional bar, but most importantly a great friendly home to travelers since 1994.
We have single, double and en-suite rooms, five dorms and camping grounds. The dorms are SPACIOUS and social areas HUGE.

My private room was very noisy due to people using the bathrooms on either side, the wooden floorboards outside the room and people playing music loudly in the night in the communal areas. Also, the sheets were not particularly clean and had mould on them and neither of the lamps in the room worked.
I was also told breakfast was not provided despite being told it was included when I booked.
Excellent location for Groote Schuur and overall good value for money though.

I came as foreign tourist to the hostel, didn’t feel well. The most of the guest are long stay, they were very reckless and loud in the total house. The staff was okay, but not very friendly, the safe parking space made a lot of problems. The room was absolutely a mess! There were no lockers, no key to lock even the room, open rack with cloths of the long stay women. The mattress was totally worn! No chance to get a good sleep. In the bathroom was mildew! I would advise everybody against this!
