Great place hostel for cost!
Service is usually above par.
Very social atmosphere
The daily activities put this hostel above the rest. They provide just about all of the fun things to offer that most people wish to do in Cape Town. The property is located in a nice quiet section of Green Point, walking distance from the V&A Waterfront. The restaurant and bar is excellent, very social as well. Great library and lounge area for quiet working or relaxation. Lots of variety on property for whatever kind of person you are.
The place was amazing. It really suprised me, the staff went out of their way to be helpful and the facilities are a step ahead of most hostels. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend it to my mates.
This is my 2nd visit and it was great, the staff are all helpful and friendly especially at Randy's. The atmosphere and vibe is great for a solo traveller. There is fast wifi all the time, housekeeping comes once a day around 1/2pm.
Cons: (out of their control) Loud noise all night outside the building every night Cape Town doesn't sleep.
The mens communal shower on the 3rd floor is always dirty after housekeeping cleans it (Guests are inconsiderate).
The guests this time that I stayed with in 301 were inconsiderate at night even with the policies in place they will come in put the light on while others are sleeping and make so much noise then leave to party until early morning come back and make more noise.
Every morning 5am - 6am they make more noise by dragging suitcases from under the bed instead of packing stuff the the lockers provided
My next visit to Cape Town I will definitely return because I still like the place
This hotel has got everything. I upgraded to.a single room and was very comfortable. It was close to the waterfront. Restaurants had its own bar and restaurant. Tours could be booked at the tour desk. The staff were very friendly
Absolutely love this place. Great opportunity to meet people from all over the world. I would throw in a board games evening so guests get to mingle a little more.
Fantastic trip again to Cape Town for Sevens ideal place to stay for us we had a great time and great breakfast also but will definitely return next year!
It was amazing to stay at never@home,beutifully area good shop around,i take walk to Water Front and mostly of all i never see any criminality during my stay next time i will go back again at never@home
It’s a cool hostel, only thing it lacked for some reason was a good hostel vibe. Has the set up for it but for some reason it still lacks the atmosphere.
You cant get more central to Green Point and all it had to offer. Unforunately building works inside are currently disruptive, otherwise excellent stay
