I had a lovely stay here. The Ashanti Lodge is very scenic and colorful with great views! The room was clean and comfortable and I felt I had everything I needed. For a backpackers accommodation it is of a very nice and clean standard like a hotel room (I had my own room). It was also very cheap and great value for money. Staff were also friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

It's a bit far from the waterfront and not that many cafes and restaurants nearby but I was impressed by the security. The staff seemed inexperienced (were they new ?). All I got was a quick cursory introduction of the room and left to it. The single room was just acceptable for one night. Shared shower and toilet down the hall was clean. In the end I suppose it reflected its price.

I am checking in and they are unable to clarify my room rate, date of booking, pre-paid amount, staff generally seems clueless. One hour after paying the balance I m still in reception trying to clarify things instead of visiting Cape Town. The staff is not very patient and leave off on other errands without finishing off a conversation they started. They don't seem to like working here and want to get through the day without stress.

I void for my disabled fiancé paid upfront and they claimed I cancelled the booking leaving my fiancé out on the street with nowhere to go! I was not even allowed to speak to a manager. Horrible service by an arrogant receptionist that could learn some hospitality skills 101 from a first grader

Staff are nice but the guests are the worst. Bunch of people disrespectful, make a place very loud and unpleasant. Between digital nomad and workers who wake up early at night and open/close the doors several time. If you want to sleep don't come here 😉

If you are looking for an affordable accommodation in town, this is the place. Very clean and modern communal bathroom. Quiet and centrally located (but away from Long Street!). And there is a special guest who is roaming in the property - The cat from the house - Very friendly!
