Located on a very popular tourist street - lots of clubs, bars and noise -especially on weekends. Ask for a rear room if noise bothers you

UH is in a great location near bars and restaurants. The staff is genuinely nice and the vibe is friendly. At night, people tend to gather on the balcony or in the tea room, so it's easy to meet others. My only complaint is that there's only one shower and toilet for each floor. There definitely needs to be more.

Its very friendly. Nice, helpful, outgoing staff. Wonderful atmosphere. A place that feels like a home. It is loud on the weekends from Thursday night to Saturday night. The place is secure. Good kitchen. Great interior art. Accessible bathrooms. Storage in the rooms. Average comfotabilty for the beds. Great access to food and bars in Cape Town. Really considerate owner in the new establishment.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The location is good. Ten-minute walking to the northeast, it's the tour bus terminal; five minutes more, the CBD (central business district). Then, laundry is downstairs. And, 10 minutes to the south, a 24-hour McDonald and the southern end of the Company's Garden. Five minutes further to the southwest, a supermarket. On the other hand, Long Street is a "party street". Bring your earplugs. Otherwise, you can't sleep at night

På livsamma Longstreet ligger detta nyöppnade vandrarhem. Perfekt för unga personer som vill träffa nytt folk. Trevlig atmosfär och mycket hjälpsam personal. Nära till butiker och sevärdheter. Longstreet är en festgata och vandrarhemmet är livligt och högljutt till efter midnatt. Alltså inget för den som vill ha det lugnt efter kl 21.00. Bra rum med sköna sängar. Trevliga sällskapsytor med bland annat biljardrum och tv-rum. Gemensamt och välskött kök. Prisvärt och kan starkt rekommenderas för budgetresenären.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was well kept and the bathrooms are clean. Single room was spacious, no fan but the room was cool enough without it. Kitchen has all the tool needed

The only downside is the noise on Long Street that goes until 3am, or 5am Fri/Sat, but other than that, really great hostel.

We had just come off of a 10 day camping safari in Africa and we wanted to taste Capetown. This was a perfect place for us to stay. We were told that Long Street would be noisy because it is a party section of town and we are in our late 40's but we loved staying here. It was three blocks from the hop on hop off bus, the restaurants and pubs on the street were excellent and the place met our every need. We stayed in a private room that had a little sitting room and a sink, the windows gave great cross breezes and a wonderful view of the dramas on the street below. There is no air conditioning but the breezes were perfect. We shared a bathroom on the floor and that did not ever pose a problem. The hostel was quiet and clean. The staff were incredibly helpful especially with restaurant and touring advise. There is a laundry right around the corner where they do it so you drop off and pick up. If we ever return to Cape Town we are staying here. The value for the money was excellent. We even managed to get wifi in our room
