Passing by we stopped for a room at this backpacker since it was on the Coast to Coast book. We rang the bell maybe 4 times until somebody opened the door. We walked up to the Information desk. The guy behind the desk didn't look at us and we waited maybe 4 minutes until he finished to scribble something on... More

I have been to many hostels during my travel years but this was definetly the worst. Not because of the accomadation or cleanliness but because of the owner: I had to switch room during my stay because they were overbooked, so Keneth (the owner) told me to put my lugguage out in the lobby. When I came back that night,... More

We stayed here for 1 night. We booked a double room en-suite. As we arrived at about 6 pm the gate was locked, no one answered the bell and no one answered the telephone. After 15 minutes waiting someone finally opened and told us that there went something wrong with the booking and they do not have a double room... More

Unfortunately I have to say that this is one of the worst places where I've stayed. It's located in a nice spot, but the room was not cheap for a backpackers place. I spoke with two guys of the staff, one was friendly but the other one not too much. The room was big but was smelling like cat pee... More

It was very loud until 2 am and the kitchen was totally dirty in the morning. No dishes where washed, opened food everywhere... The owner didn´t care about. We had toast... More

We had called on the Thursday morning and made the reservation and availability was confirmed in the Dorm Rooms for us. We decided to check into the Backpackers on the way to our function but was...

We stayed here for 3 nights and we were not disapointed. We stayed in an en-suite which was clean and was well furnished. A good size bathroom and a shared balcony. Reception was friendly and helpful. Good location if you want to explore the cape and want to do some cage diving.

We stayed here only because I really wanted to see more of those penguins on the beach. I wish we hadn't. The rooms are dirty - I don't know when the last time was that they swept the floor. Shared coed bathrooms are okay, not terrible but not great. Reception is not friendly. The building is very poorly constructed and... More
