The area is quite scarry, we've been praying while driving to our destiantion for different location. Finally it wasn't so bad as we were expecting. People were very helpful and friendly. Room was well equipped and actually has all you need while backpacking :)

This hostel is in the middle of a township, which sounds dangerous and strange (at least did it to us). But don't be afraid, it is not unsafe at all, it is a good experience to see this side of Cape Town! The staff (family) is very friendly and you can trust them; you can lock your car in a garage overnight. I would recommend this hotel to everyone!! It's a little outside downton Cape Town, but you get e.g. to the Waterfront quite fast; and it's very near to the airport. Plus very good value for money.
