O hostel fica super bem localizado para quem gosta de festa, caso contrário não recomendo. O barulho dentro do quarto é enorme (fiquei no 12) e fica de segunda a segunda. Fiquei no segundo andar do hostel e tinha 3 banheiros e 4 chuveiros, na semana que fiquei somente 1 banheiro funcionou todos os dias, os outros 2 ficaram quebrados por pelo menos 4 dias e dois chuveiros são bem ruins, a água quente não funciona, somente se deixar o chuveiro bem pouco aberto caso você abra muito a água ficar super gelada e com a temperatura variando entre 8 graus a 17 não é muito legal, sem contar que a luz desse banheiro também estava queimada. Fora isso apareceu uma barata enorme no quarto!! O staff foi bem gente boa, o que não me faz dar uma nota muito baixa, mas é bem chato um banheiro funcionando e somente 2 chuveiros ok. Não ficaria novamente no hostel, por causa do barulho e também da barata enorme. Pelo preço haviam outros em Camps Bay que pareciam mais tranquilos.
