Not stating the truth on their booking site. Driver does not operate airport as mentioned. Nightshift receiption Guard leaves a late arrival exposed to dangers of the thiefs walking around. I had opened a criminal case and is awaiting this false pretences of services to be handles by a criminal court. Plus when l arrive on this booking "my booking was cancelles without any notice and again the same business and now other employes try to coverup the crime of the case l made and police said they will arrest whom is incharge since its not allowed to leave a person on a booking in life danger, worst of all they do not take it serious the damages they cause to a guest, police informed tourism and the City Councill of this businesses irregular business conduct. I am awaiting all criminal prosesses against my being exposed to danger by this business.

Weird staff let themselves into room unannounced

Hostel is in a great location with a nice kitchen and pool are. The rooms are basic but comfortable and nice. Good bedding and pillows and lockers are provided. Access to shared bathrooms is good. The only things I would suggest for improvement are to provide hand soap in communal bathrooms, provide shower gel in showers. I also felt that the check out process needs improving as I felt really uncomfortable and rushed to leave my room. Check out was at 11am and I had people letting themselves into my room via the code at 10am to ‘notify me that check out was at 11am’. Firstly, I’m well aware of when check out is, secondly knock ok the door and ask to enter rather than just letting yourself into someone’s room and thirdly, there is no need to do this multiple times. I understand that you want people to check out on time, but I found this to be rude and not needed. Also I had someone let themselves into my room in the middle of the day after the cleaner had already been, she came in, looked around and then left.. it was very odd and made me feel like my possessions in my room weren’t safe. Due to these reasons I wouldn’t return to this hostel. It’s a shame as the facilities are nice, and location is great.

Avoid.

Awful stay. 1) Unhelpful and unfriendly staff 2) No towels were given despite being promised 3) Not all lights work in the room 4) Not all windows close 5) Random staff come into your room unannounced while you sleep (despite being a private room). お勧めできない

Uncomfortable stay.

As we are older ladies of almost 60 years, we expected a bit more consideration.We struggled to get onto the upstairs beds that was kept for us,and getting down was another mission.Had to go ask for a regular stepladder on the second day.Also, there is no chair or table for the 4 upstairs guests in the dorm.So please consider the guests on the upstairs beds in the future.I will definitely not stay there again.

Great place to stay, it has a great location near the stadium and the city center, walking distance from the Water Front. For me there were only two things that I did not expect: 1. the breakfast was very basic, but upon reflection, it reflected the price, it's a hostel of course and not a 5* hotel. If you need a great breakfast there a nice restaurant(forgot the name) no more than a 5 min walk from there. 2. I was freezing! I stayed in a room for 4 people and while we had 2 heaters it was still quite cold for me when not under the blanket, it was alright, but just a little unconfortable to get dressed or shower in the morning. Overall it's one of the best hostels I've stayed at in over 40 countries I've visited, very friendly staff and great location.

A Hostel for backpackers & Partners!!

Visited Cape Town early February looking for a reasonable priced accommodation in a private double room. Located in green point an ideal location due to transportation links around the hostel as well as walking distance to the pier. It is also close to some great food joints such as Rocco mama's (Highly recommended), lions head mountain and a local supermarket. The room itself is basic but that coincides with the price as you are not paying a lot for a night so a basic room was expected. The room consists of Double Bed, 2 side draws, Wall mount TV, tall slim cupboard and a separate bathroom as well as a window which has bars attached on the outside. . Due to the severe drought in Cape Town the hostel like to enforce a only flush rule if it's essential and when your showering to do so in a large water so they can collect the water every night and use it for other resources such as gardens and filtering. The hostel have a great way of reaching out and bringing backpackers and hostel users together by organising daily activity boards so you know what is on and use their sister company ‘Atlantic Outlook to organise water based activities. Overall a great hostel to stay at whether you’re a Backpacker or even a couple looking for a cheap yet efficient accommodation.

Perfect Hostel and Hotel Combination

My sister had been working in Cape Town prior to my arrival so when I flew out to meet her we shared a twin room. The room was perfect and actually one of the comfiest beds I think I have ever slept on! The staff could not do enough for you and even went the extra mile, running free events and excursions! An incredible stay meeting some fantastic people, taking away a lot of good memories!

didn't organise our airport pick up like they said they would although did get one to take us back at end. Good room? could've been a bit cooler but we were there at hot time of year. nice healthy breakfast everyday to set you up. they arrange lots of excursions but we had already sorted these prior to arriving so didn't experience them with them

Overpretentious, overpriced, underwhelming

I will first start off with the pros of Atlantic Point Backpackers. It is has an excellent location, close to the V&A Waterfront, the city center, Long Street, etc.. It was clean and rooms were made up everyday. The T.V. in the rooms were also nice Cons - This is a hostel that charges the price of a hotel - "Breakfast" was incredibly basic. After the first day we just bought breakfast somewhere else - There was NO soap available in the private room - The staff was quite unfriendly (other than the very tall, helpful, northern European girl). There was an unneccesary level of pretentiousness at the hostel. We weren't staying there for free. When you are in the service industry, you must have a welcoming attitude

Average stay

I think this generally is a really good hostel that most people would have a good experience at, I just happened to not have the greatest time there. This does not mean others would not. It was clean and had friendly staff, it was a safe hostel. The single room I booked was very spacious. But I had problems the whole time I was there with the lock on my door getting stuck, and also did not have power for a period of time because according to the staff the boss/owner needed to pay some money or add some money (not totally sure what this means, but sounds like a bill needed to be paid). And if you are counting on having a good breakfast don't as it is just bread, corn flakes, and coffee. But it is a hostel so I believe it is probably one of the better ones in the area. I could walk to all the things I needed for the most part. I would consider staying again.

Stayed here for a week while travelling alone and it was amazing. The staff were very friendly, and there was always something going on in the hostel so I was never board. It's a great place if you're looking to meet people, as well as has great private rooms if you'd rather have your own space. Either way, I'd highly recommend it.

I didn't know what to expect travelling alone but the staff at Atlantic Point were very helpful and friendly taking me out on my first night for some drinks (arrived on a Saturday). Made great suggestions and gave great advice when it came to planning my days. I would definitely refer this hostel to friends and possibly stay here again if I were ever to return to Cape Town.

Good hostel if you want to be social

The location of the hostel was great and the people were nice. My only qualm would be that you're paying a little extra compared to other hostels in the area solely for the social aspect of the hostel. If you're traveling alone and want to meet people to hang out with and party, then it's definitely worth the extra few bucks. But if you have your own plan and don't necessarily need people to guide you around, then there are other places that offer similar, if not better, facilities to stay in.
