Very affordable food and breakfast buffet. The dorm was very clean and so were the bathrooms and showers. Only get 1 hour of free internet a day. The bar area has a lot of atmosphere but they are also very strict about closing time, which means you have peace and quite after a certain time. Safes and lockers in the... More

I stayed here with friends and it met all our needs. The main hostel is very secure and the location is pretty good. Staff were really friendly and helped us to plan trips out to see the sights. Rooms were reasonably clean and the bathrooms were OK, clean enough for a few nights. There was good bar food available but... More

The old house is very nice with beautiful stairs. We didn't get a chance to use many of the amenities so we can't speak for them. We rented a double with ensuite. The room was not the cleanest, they forgot pillowcases, the bathroom smelly with a bad door. We thought we might stay longer but checked out after one night.... More

I stayed here after a few months on the road in west Africa, is a good place to meet fellow travellers, free wifi, the bar is ok with pool table, dorm rooms clean and the location good. More

Not a bad looking place when you first walk in, which is ruined by the staff, unfriendly and not helpful, only had one helpful staff member the entire time. No one told me about the hostel facilities ie laundry or breakfast or even where the washrooms were. They charge for renting a towel which is ridiculous. The bar staff and... More

The rooms are too basic for my liking. Other than the ensuite room the other rooms have outside shared bathrooms and toilets. This can be somewhat incovenient for night visits to the bathroom.The location is great-overlooking Table Mountain. Also within walking distance to some great restraunts on Orange and the whole 'Garden's' area. 10 mins walk to vibey Long Street!!... More

Stayed here while backbacking around the world. Flew in from Argentina and upgraded to our own room for an extra $10/night/pp. Room had our own TV and bathroom and bed. The front desk set up great excursions for us from climbing table mountain on our own to a great white shark cage dive. Great place for people on a budget.... More

I stayed at Ashanti Lodge for six nights at the end of an overland trip. The hostel is situated with superb views of Table Mountain: from the bar and balcony you can sit and admire the views over breakfast or a drink. The hostel is around a 20 minute walk from the centre of town, and is within 5 minutes... More
