Infelizmente nao vale a pena, apesar de ser um hotel barato, com muutos jovens e clima de hostel, o tratamento que tivemos na nossa estadia nao foi legal, a falta de organizacao, o pouco caso dos funcionarios e o estado do quarto, deixaram muito a desejar.

Das für Backpacker ausgelegte Hotel liegt an super Lage. Leider hatte ich noch Schuhe unter dem Bett vergessen. Bei zweimaligen telefonischen nachfragen ob sie diese suchen könnten, wurde ich mit "wir werden zurückrufen" hingehalten. Zurückgerufen wurde aber nie.

I really liked my stay here. Comfortable rooms, bedding and clean bathrooms. Really nice bar/resturant on the first floor with good food. Terrace bar closes at 10 and the first floor bar closes at 12 so things got quite for a good nights rest. It would be nice to have air conditioning but the ceiling fan worked ok. I would like there to be charging stations on the back patio. Overall a very good place to stay and I would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the services and facilities. However, I had negative experiences during my stay. I will show you those positive and negative experiences below. [Positive Experiences] 1. The original event in this hostel took place everyday. It was easy to socialize other guests. 2. Some staff hired the specific tour company. If you want to join a tour, they can accommodate one! 3. All staffs were really courteous and friendly. [Negative Experiences] 1. The security key to enter my room frequently voided. I and other roommates always asked the receptionist to revaild it almost everyday. 2. The electricity circuit in the certain floor was broken. During my stay, it was sometimes impossible to charge my phone and other electrical devices.

Ótima escolha para Capetown e para conhecer pessoas. A localização é ótima, tem comércio e ótimos bares/pubs na rua e próximo a tudo. O hostel tem um bar no térreo e outro no último andar, facilitando a interação dos hóspedes. O café da manhã apesar de simples é bem gostoso e a equipe muito simpática. A única coisa que senti falta foi de um cofre no quarto compartilhado. O hostel não oferece toalhas, mas você pode comprá-las, por um preço não muito barato. Me hospedaria lá novamente.
