I stayed here in December. Kim and her entire crew make you feel like your at home. The rooms are squeeky clean, new, fresh, and its located in the best part of Cape Town... bohemian Obs. You would be crazy not to stay here when visiting CT.

This hostel is filled with so much love, fun and harmony. The staff is perfectly helpful, friendly and you feel like being at home.

the staff were very eager to help, but weren't much aware of areas around Cape Town. the rooms/beds are well kept and clean. as far as backpacking hostels go, this is a good place! i wish i had been here long enough to be able to meet other travelers.

Kim and her staff have managed to create a vibe that... More

Clean rooms, sweet kitchen, good staff and simply a relaxed place to spend your time at. This backpackers has the most uncomplicated atmosphere you can think of. We booked in very spontaneously. So to speak Walk-ins are welcome as well. I can really recommend this lovely place.
