I liked everything about the property. The place was entertaining, meet with other foreign nationals, nice communicative staffs. Location and views were amazing. There is this one staff outstanding , l like her so much. Don’t know her name. African woman.she knows how to communicate very well, even if she doesn’t understand ur language, she will find her way . The breakfast super. Everything u need is right on the table. The kitchen was organized,the pool was so clean , i was like wow,I would love to come stay there again. Villa viva .
What i did like was : 1) I didn’t get the preferred room I got, it was available when i booked and paid. That was a 4 bedroom dorm , now i was given a 6 bedroom, that’s against the law and i can sue for the scam. If u want me to do that till me cos i have proff of everything.

Real gem of a hostel and the best one I've stayed at in CT. It's social without being too party or loud, lots of different social areas, inside and out, for relaxing or meeting people. Loved the pool outside, which has a view of the gardens and table mountain. Breakfast each morning was decent and there's an active WhatsApp group for organising hikes/activities with others.
I stayed twice, my first dorm was much nicer with curtained beds and lots of space. The second time, the dorm was more basic and small, despite being more expensive. Sometimes it could be hard to find a free bathroom as there aren't many of them.

Lovely bed and cosy, clean bedding. Great privacy afforded by curtains. Breakfast could be a bit monotonous if you stay for awhile eg suggest scrambled eggs sometimes if it was possible to keep them hot? And different pastries within same budget range. Fruit salad. Good variety of beverages. Lovely different breakaway areas meant you can gain a modicum of privacy or gathering in smaller groups. Brilliant kitchen for self catering. Safes and lockable cupboards offer peace of mind. Lovely old houses with wooden floors. Good social gathering opportunities.
All good.

The location is wonderful, it is within walking distance to great restaurants and bars, and the historic Labia Theatre. Excellent breakfast - fresh melon, grapes and pineapple. Bread with jam, nutella, butter, etc. Freshly delivered pain au chocolat from a local bakery, juice, a yogurt bar, cheese, tomato, and cucumber. The staff were super helpful throughout my stay. The property is large with lots of bathrooms, hangout spaces, and even a pool. The showers had good water pressure and got warm quickly. The rooms were modern and clean, and the kitchen and fridges had more than enough space for guests. Each bed came with a lamp, small shelf, and outlet. There is a cat and a dog who are super friendly.
There is no aircon in the rooms so when it’s hot you need to open the window and ask for a fan. Also, the doors are very heavy and when they slam it is quite loud. Make sure to bring your own padlock because the cubbies in the rooms don’t have a way of locking themselves.

I loved being home, I met amazing people there, the place just gave me hope that there are people out there who are working towards enriching humanity, prides itself with its rich african history, if you want to feel more alive, more inspired, more greatful, more loved, if you want to be free to be you...if you want to experience Humanity.. you must definitely come to Villa Viva Cape Town. The sense of community...love...sharing....elevation....nature... yhoo I can go on and on. We felt more African when we stayed there with my Husband Asa. Thank you guys for your Excellent Service that is fueled with nothing but Love and Kindness because truly that's what every human being needs. Now that, that's what I call giving Value ♥

The Hostel: Dorm rooms are spacious, welcoming, functional and clean. Each bunk is equipped with a privacy curtain, charging station (requires South African plugs) and a large locker for your valuables. There’s plenty of space in the room for oversized luggage. WiFi network, shower and water pressure all worked great. Common areas offer cozy vibes with plenty of seating. The Stay: The bed was comfortable and the dorm is well designed. Gardens is a very safe and secure neighborhood. The hostel is gated with entry codes provided to guests for access control. There’s also a security guard on-site. Conveniently located and a short distance to most attractions (20-minute Uber ride from CPT airport). The Service: The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. They were always available to answer questions and offer tour recommendations. Towels are provided free of charge and the breakfast selection was excellent. Braai and other social activities held on-site regularly. 10/10 would recommend.
Nothing of significance.

Location excellent proximity to Kloof Street area ( many lovely bars and restaurants)and for accessing City Centre.Felt safe there at night. Hostel is busy but plenty of quiet areas to relax in garden and around the hostel.The Hostel is a beautiful older property which has lovely decor and lots of plants. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was large and comfortable - actually very quiet despite there being dorms near us. I had requested two single beds but room had a huge double. It was fine though. Breakfast was satisfactory - pastries, toast, boiled eggs etc. There was a kitchen that we could use but it was too busy so we ate out most evenings. Kitchen well equipped. Nice bar and central seating area.
Shared toilet and shower was an issue - I don't have an issue sharing but we had quite a wait some mornings and on one morning there was no water! We had to walk round the building looking for a vacant toilet and shower at times. There was very little space in kitchen to store any food. Would have liked a cafetiere in kitchen to make coffee.

I went on holiday on my own and it was an excellent choice of location, the hostel is well located, I stayed in a single room which was comfortable, the shared bathroom was always very clean. The staff were all very pleasant and welcoming. The place has a good, well-equipped kitchen. The breakfast was good.
In my room I could hear a lot of noise from the neighboring rooms and the sound of footsteps upstairs

I came here with my friend 3 times because it’s the best price I can find in this area, and it’s in a great location nearby. The atmosphere is nice, and the staff is friendly with great service. There’s a great selection for breakfast.
There’s nothing to dislike about this place, except for one issue: there was an army of ants all over underneath the nightstand. The staff promptly moved us to a different room, which was a great sign that they take such situations seriously. We very much appreciated their hospitality and service.
