⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Social Vibe & Unbeatable Location – Perfect with a Few Tips! If you love a vibrant, highly secure, and social atmosphere, 91 Loop is absolute perfection! The customer care is unmatched, and the location is arguably the best in Cape Town. You are right in the heart of the action, within walking distance of the city’s premier nightlife, restaurants, and cultural spots across Loop Street, Long Street, Wale Street, Strand Street, etc. The on-site Side Bar is an incredible asset, you can select exactly what you like to eat and drink while meeting fantastic, like-minded people from all over the world. Good to Know for First-Time Hostel Bookers: If you are used to traditional executive hotel standards, just keep a few boutique hostel traits in mind for a seamless stay: 1. Workspace: The private rooms are sleek and minimalist, designed primarily for sleeping comfort with a fantastic bed. If you need to study or work on a laptop, plan to use the vibrant communal spaces or the café tables downstairs rather than a private desk in your room. 2. Amenities: In true hostel fashion, personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and body soap are a "bring-your-own" deal, so pack a personal toiletry bag. Overall, it’s a brilliant, safe, and highly energetic place to experience Cape Town. Highly recommended for social travelers!

Friendly staff, but a horrific bed design and biohazard environment. A living hell if you need actual rest If you are looking for a place to get some actual rest, avoid this hostel at all costs. The room space itself is quite large, but the bunk bed design is absolutely ridiculous and inhuman. The lower bunk is lifted so high that there is almost zero vertical clearance for both top and bottom beds. You CANNOT even sit up straight on the bed without hitting your head. Even worse, there is no side entrance; you have to literally "crawl" or "squeeze" into your bed from a narrow opening at the end, like entering a tunnel. Once inside, you can only lie down flat—forget about sitting up to use your laptop or relax , The 1st floor is a super noisy bar and pool hall with non-stop noise. It feels like the rooms were intentionally designed to be as uncomfortable as possible just to force guests downstairs to spend money at their bar. People here have zero sense of personal boundaries or public respect. Guests frequently talk loudly on their phones inside the room. The room constantly smells like a biohazard—a horrific mixture of strong body odor and heavily sprayed cheap perfume that people use to cover it up, causing instant migraines. Worse, although there is a lemon deodorizing spray provided in the bathroom, people just refuse to use it, leaving the smell to drift into the unventilated rooms.

I had an incredible stay at this hostel. the staff was amazing. Enoch and Lukhanyo were the 2 most frequently at the desk to greet us.The dorm i stayed in was spacious and clean and had our own bathroom attached. I stayed in a mixed dorm with ages ranging from 20s to mid 60s which was really refreshing to see mid 60 year olds solo travelling. So for anyone who considers themselves older and wants to cut costs while in Cape Town, this hostel isn't just for young people. So many of the shops and restaurants I visited were within walking distance from the hostel. Breakfast was included in my stay and was served at the attached restaurant on the main floor. overall I loved my stay here and would stay here again if I'm ever back in Cape Town

😡😡😡 91 Loop Boutique Hostel was an absolute nightmare—like checking into a prison disguised as a hostel. No soap for the body, no shampoo, no conditioner—nothing. Just a tiny hand soap, that’s it. I booked two queen beds, paid a fortune for it, and they stuck me in a room with four bunk beds, zero, zero comfort.!!! 😡😡😡 Second floor, no elevator, so every time I needed water, coffee, or anything, I had to drag myself down forty-five stairs, then climb back up—almost a hundred steps round trip. Exhausting. And forget Wi-Fi: it didn’t work. Not for me, not for anyone—I asked other guests, same story. They just shrug and say “we can’t fix it.” You pay for the location, that’s all. Everything else? Trash. Terrible service, no basics, no humanity. Never again.

As far as backpackers go this is one of the best ones. Great location, great staff, they clean regularly, nice restaurant and chill areas. Overall a great value for money. A few aircons in the rooms would be the icing on the cake :)
