Me and my friend we enjoyed the balcony and their beautiful clean place

Nice place for anyone who finds Cape Town the place to settle at.

Nice place to be in cape Town for vibe

Great clean hostel with friendly staff. Just far enough away from the action to be sensible. It is NOT a party hostel. Good well equipped kitchen. Excellent wifi with computer access for downloading cameras. It has a small bar. Towels are provided. Most attractions walkable and near to bus stops for travel around the city

Thanks for the great stay.The floor is made out of wood can get noisy in the early morning and late at night especially when they host school groups but the stuff members are amazing. Clean and neat place. If you make your bookings at the desk theyll give you a discount

Its an OK place yo stay

First of all I dont understand why this hotel is even regarded as a 4-star hotel.It is very poor in terms of accommodating large groups. They lye to their customers through the booking process, promising heaven although the reality is the exact opposite. We were a group of 72 when we checked in into this hotel...they packed us like cabbages,while on our arrangements they promised us that there will be 6 single bed per dome...they packed 12 beds per dome. Showers are releasing cold water,some of the rooms were dirty with used condoms under the bed. The worse part when one is raising a concern the management do not in anyway indicating to care...They take an advantage that once you paid and arrived you wont change.It is very bad!!!

Climbing up their stairs feels like an extreme sport . More so if you are tipsy and in heels. Youd be on the 3rd floor and still seeing the receptions head all the way down at the ground floor 😩😧

The lobby of this backpackers oversells it by a lot. The dormitories are small and noisy and the layout is not thoughtful in general. On many occasions, the kitchen and hallways are full of dirty laundry waiting to be washed. They could make this place great if they put some thought into it.

Only one problem of washing machine and drying machine

This place is great value for money and the staff is very friendly,checking in was a breeze overall this is a very clean & decent place to stay at a low cost

Great pack packers clean and well managed

Really clean an tidy, excellent customer service and made feel real welcome at arrival, also professional services provided !

I agree its even more than that. The hospitality

Though its in long str but still enjoy my space & service is excellent.🙌

Place being renovated.Noisy,dusty and dirty. Not recommended until in Jan.2019.

Very quiet, well organized, good customer care, great hospitality, nice cold beer, clean placeEverything is convenient

Great place. Staff not the best.

In the heart of the city. Neat and well priced and convenient for large groups

I spent a week at Forty8 in August 2916 with a group of 15 university students while attending the 35th International Geological Congress at the Cape Town International Conference Center. I had small room with a double bed to myself, while the students stayed in dormitories. The hotel is ideally situated: an easy 15 minute walk from the CTICC, around the corner from the restaurants and clubs in Long Street, and a short drive to Table Mountain, the Waterfront and Sea Point. Off street and overnight parking is available in nearby parking garage at a reasonable rate. The lounge, kitchen, rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. I found my room to be quiet at night.There is free WiFi in the lounge. The staff were friendly and helpful, in particular the host, LJ. All in all, a cost-effective and convenient option.Professor

Very quiet with clean bedding. Not a very happy atmosphere though.

Brilliant service and nice location in the heart of the city

Bare essentials. Rooms in slight disrepair.

Amazing! Center of Cape Town, clean and perfect price!

Way too loud. The bed sheets were dirty. I had booked a bed in a 6-bed room for 2 nights, had to spend 2 nights in different 10-bed rooms without getting anything reimbursed

Very central 100 meters from the central office of Citysighting

I do not recommend although it is well located
