Friendly staff, good breakfast. We got allocated the wrong room, but we were still very happy as the rest was so good.😊

We stayed in a private room, with shared bathroom. It has a nice hostel vibe, but also with private if you want! A good simple breakfast included. A good central place to stay in capetown. Close to the kloof street with a lot of nice restaurants and coffee places.

Beware of the room facilities because there are rooms in which the bathroom is outside (Cape town can be a cold and rainy place) in open areas. Shower is not good at all (tried 3 different in the hostel) but maybe this is because of the water concerns and eco view from the hostel. Friendly staff, location is good but right in front there are people living in the streets (what is common in many areas of city centre). My room was not good concerning silence. Also there were lots of families with children during my stay.

Loved the Vibe at Villa Viva.

I like the wonderful breakfast.

This hostel is in a great location, it was clean, safe and had a nice view. It wasn’t overly warm and inviting. Check in process could have been a bit better (although we were coming in at a late time). It would be nice if water for guests was a bit easier to access or coffee in the morning etc. We enjoyed talking to other guests at the bar.

Stayed at Villa Viva for about two weeks total during my study abroad program. Super clean and spacious rooms and the staff is absolutely amazing! They also have events at the hostel throughout the week to meet and mingle with the staff and other people staying there. Couldn’t recommend Villa Viva enough!! Definitely stay here if you get the chance.

This accommodation was a fantastic few in the beautiful city of Cape Town. Very eclectic mix of visitors from young backpackers, families and couples. We stayed in an en-suite double room which was perfect for our needs. There are so many beautiful communal areas to relax in and the bar was always relaxing and comfortable. They have organised activities that you can join or you can simply use it as a base to stay in. Would thoroughly recommend and it’s great to know that some of the revenue goes to a worthy cause.
