Spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Ok location close to Kloof street.
A bit of an interesting vibe. Hard to out a finger on it, but not much interaction or fun.

Quite a social place (but of course that depends on who exactly is there). Very good internet, which is very important to me as a digital nomad. Many toilets and showers. Little cafe, which occasionally turns into a bar/shop. Location is very good and still quite
Kitchen is a bit small, but it works if people are considerable

I liked this place as the location suited my needs and I extended a couple of times. Staff are very friendly, particularly Ashley, and bed was comfortable with personal light and plug socket. Small lockers to hide away any valuables.
Most guests are either working (either remotely or in CT) or slightly older, so there is an early to bed atmosphere. I liked this as I was up and out early most days doing my own exploring, but if you crave a young party scene then this probably isn't the place for you.
There is no lock on the dorms and I was woken up on my first night by a drunk lady who wasn't sleeping in our dorm and came to my bed as she was confused.
I also felt that all the females were in the female dorm, so if you do book a mixed dorm just bear in mind that it will be filled with 99 per cent men.
