We only planned to stay here for a couple of days and ended up staying for 7, which sort of says it all. Fantastic location as far as we were concerned, and some of the most helpful staff (thank you Susan and Stacey) that we encountered. The place has a nice, relaxed feel to it and runs along very pleasantly.... More

This is a lovely friendly hostel in a good location. The rooms are clean (we stayed in a twin room) and the kitchen is also very well maintained. We liked this hostel also as it wasn't full of 18 year old backpackers but instead ages ranged from mid twenties up so you weren't woken at 2am by drunken party goers!... More

We were in a triple room. Very cosy and clean. We didn't have a private bathroom but the bathrooms were always clean, though the hot water didn't always work. Felt very safe and had a nice atmosphere. Has a small parking lot, we had a rental car, so this was great. It was close to Long st, but far enough... More

Zebra crossing isn't too far from the action of Long Street but also isn't as noisy either! We drove so parking was a bonus although we were warned that breakins have occurred in the past and that we would be better off going to the paid parking about 50m away. We didn't and was fine over the 3 days we... More

Not a fancy schmancy hostel but has everything you need! Laundry is on site and is per load rather than counting every single item. Bar is on site and has good prices. Computer available to use in bar but pretty slow, however wifi is available and decent. No charge. Plenty of bathrooms. General lounge has a tv and comfy coach.... More

It's like you check in, but can never leave, or don't want to. The location is perfect. It's a brisk 30 minute walk to the V&A harbor, short cab ride of 30R to Table Mountain or Lions Head, and walking distance to Long Street without having to put up with the craziness. Park has some great little bars and restaurants,... More

I stayed at the Zebra Crossing at the beginning of April 2012. The location was pretty much perfect. Within walking distance of the night spots on Long Street, but far enough away to be able to get a good night's sleep. If you're not a lazy 'Jabber' then it's also within easy walking distance of pretty much all the city... More

Recommended to me by several friends who visited Cape Town, I booked a bed in a dorm room at Zebra Crossing for 5 nights. Zebra Crossing is a small hostel compared to others I've stayed, but is extremely clean, safe, and quiet. Its a short walking distance from Long Street if that's your thing, or you can stay indoors and... More

I recently stayed at Zebra Crossing with a friend of mine. The twin room that we stayed in was simple but clean with nice white bedding. There are lots of bathrooms and showers around the hostel which are kept nice and clean. The staff were very friendly and informative and really made us feel at home. The location is great,very...
