We had a great stay in a private room at this hotel/hostel. Really well positioned and safe. Great that it has an honesty bar for drinks and the location is very good for most activities. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming with nothing being too much trouble for them. We joined the big Braii they put on with all the other guests and it was a wonderful experience.

I have stayed in hostels all over the world and this is my favourite! Everyone has a place here- solo travellers, couples and families. The rooms are spacious, comfy and warm (electric blankets?!!) The breakfast is great and the kitchen is fully equipped, there is a social room with Netflix for movie nights, a working space for us digital nomads and even a swimming pool! The best part of the whole experience is the staff. I never expected so much kindness and warmth. Every single member takes the time to get to know you and this vibe spreads among the guests to create a real feeling of home away from home. Great location, walking distance from beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants. Would 100% recommend this place for anyone is looking to rest, feel welcomed and meet some incredible people.

The staff are amazing! So friendly and welcoming☺️ And it feels like you’re part of the family the minute you arrive. Room was super cute and comfy. Also lots of other spaces in the main house to sit, work, or chat with fellow travelers if you want. Heating pad under the fitted sheet kept me nice and warm in the Winter. And nice European breakfast with coffee, toast, jams, meusli, sliced fruit, make your own eggs/French toast. Walk to Waterfront in 12 min or so. Definitely would stay again!!

Staying here was such a treat! I was here for my third week in Cape Town. The rooms are so cozy and the whole place feels like so homey, which is great if you’re a traveler who’s going to be away from home for awhile! The staff, especially Nmobi and Jocelyne, were literal angels. Will one hundred percent be back here.

The BIG is the perfect place to stay in Cape Town. The accommodation is very well maintained. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Next time we go to Cape Town, we will certainly go back to this nice and comfortable place.
