This Victorian-style building close to the centre of Cape Town was recently transformed into a backpacker hostel. Type of accommodation: dorm, single and double rooms.
My first impression of this hostel was good: nice bar, internet facilities, spacious lounge and kitchen, dorms with towels and pillow chocolates, professional staff, great balcony, ... But ...
My problem was the owner. He was always in a bad mood, never smiled and he often bitched at his staff. I am very sorry, but I can't stand people who yell at their staff for less than nothing.
