2-Star Hotels in Western Cape, South Africa

Urban Hive Backpackers is a fantastic place to stay for budget travelers. The hostel offers clean and comfortable accommodations, a friendly atmosphere, and convenient location. The common areas are great for meeting fellow travelers, and the staff is helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for affordable and sociable accommodation in the city.

Great hostel in the center of Cape Town. Safe inside, good staff and good guests. Clean. Breakfasts are great (from 7:40 to 10:00, price included in the stay) - there are 6 options to choose from (two options are suitable for vegetarians). Very tasty. Coffee, tea, juice. Cons: the area is teeming with beggars and **************. No kitchen. No coolers with drinking water. Pros: the Citysightseeing office is 1 minute walk away.

Relatively expensive due to location close to Cape Town International Airport however condition of room poor. Metal window frame in room was damaged and rusty. Room and hotel floor room was on smelt of smoke (cigarettes) which is not pleasant for a non smoker. Only given a very hard grainy soap and sanitary pack. No Shower gel, shampoo or other amenities like in other hotels that cost less. I eat at the restaurant a burger and chips. Burger was nice however have a very small portion of chips (12). I fed this back. Shower was very small so each time I turned in the shower I would knock off the water as mixer stuck out so far. Location of the tap to the bowel (Sink) in the bathroom was far away so only a small part of the tap was over the bowel so placing your tooth brush or washing hand had limited space to get the water. Customer service by the management, security guard and receptionists was great. I felt they were taking advantage of its location but not investing in improving the rooms and services. No walk in gate to the hotel so have to walk through an electric gate the same way cars get in and out. A side gate would be beneficial.

The location is excellent in Cape. It is close to the long street and large supermarkets, so you don't have to walk. There is a bar downstairs. Although it is noisy, it is very safe. The service is very enthusiastic. Everyone is very enthusiastic. It is a good choice for me who is not very good at English. It is also very clean. The girl at the front desk enthusiastically guided me how to play in Zhoushan and Mong Kok. She was not tired of it. I stayed in this hotel for six nights and felt very happy and made a lot of friends. 🥳

I didn't like that the room didn't have a bathroom. The bathroom is to be shared. For a little extra, you can have a bathroom and better location at 82 on Regent. Motown is okay if you enjoy sharing bathrooms with strangers. Due to the concerts at the time in Cape Town, most places were sold out which is how we landed up at Motown.

Super hotel with very kind and responsive hosts! Recommend
