Inn Long Street

In our second trip through Africa, this turned out to be what we think was the best hostel of both trips -- clean, tidy, great people. Nicky and Sean were awesome, so helpful, and the actual hostel is so welcoming -- the type of place that's easy to hang out in for a week. Quieter than likes of long street backpackers and the rooms although quite small were great. Would be back there tomorrow if we were in Cape Town again, not a party place but sh*t that's nice after a while.

Very noisy — the rooms are close to clubs, etc., which keep going 'til the early hours. The atmosphere's a bit dead and not nearly as friendly or welcoming as other places. Sean is helpful, but having visited some of the places he suggested, I thought he gave some dodgy recommendations (he said to stay at Abalone Beach House in Plettenberg Bay...Don't, it's horrid. He also said there's a bus from the V&A waterfront to the beach — there's not, that we could find anyway). And the rooms aren't up to much, or the cleanest.
