Old house converted to a hostel, but very homy for me. Nice amenities. Had a comfortable night even if it's located beside party places.

The hostel itself is stylishly designed with modern amenities and cozy communal areas where I could relax and socialize with fellow travelers. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring the vibrant city.

We were delighted with our stay in this establishment. It's right in the center of town and very easy to get to. However, as it was winter, the rooms on the upper floor were too cold. Otherwise, the staff are very welcoming and helpful.

I had an awesome time at Urban Hive! The guests were super nice and so was the staff :) The balcony is super cozy and there is a big kitchen. The hostel is very central (on long street) and there are tons of bars, clubs and restaurants close by. I would recommend staying there if you want to meet people and have fun.

I stayed at Urban Hive for a month, and it felt like a home away from home. The staff is super friendly, nice and accommodating, and ensures everything to make the guests comfortable. It’s centrally located on Long Street, in a beautiful heritage building, and has many hangout places like bar, balcony, lounge. Close to many touristic places and especially to explore the nightlife of Cape Town. The rooms, bathrooms, kitchen are all well maintained and super clean. All in all a perfect experience and will definitely stay there whenever I visit again.

********s paradise Very old, crumbling structure. Management have ******** mentalities for imposing inhouse rules. Intimadatory tactics to short change paid up guest. Other places fare far better. #ThumbsDown

Very good rates for single (small) rooms in such a good location in Cape town! The old building was really charming.
My room had a lovely view of the table mountain.
