The hostel is a very special place for me, which is why I came back again! If you want to meet amazing people and work with even more amazing ones I can only recommend you this place! I spend christmas and nye here and it has been the best time :) The work is great to meet new people fast because you work at the bar where everyone meets and its a fun environment. The location is also nice and walkable. The only thing you need to be aware of is that once you enter the hostel you will never want to leave <3 10/10 recommend!

The job is pretty easy and you learn quickly and also the team is always there to support you with any questions. Besides the work you will have enough time to explore Cape Town. the hostel is not just a hostel for me , they have become my family and I already miss everyone. I will definitely come back again <3

Hello guys. So, I don't the words to talk about my experience at the hostel. I feel like I was in my home and the people are always kind to me. I had fun and made some many friends for life. I wish could stay longer, but I'm sure I'll come back and enjoy more time in this hostel. Cape Town is definitely my second home now. As Brazilian I'll recommend this place for all my friends.
