The room was nice, simple but well decorated, pretty clean I have to say and loved that each room was named after some outstanding personality and you could read about them through the qr code. Loved the project behind, WASH, water for all. It is amazing to support properties that act in favour of the community

Villa Viva the home of wanderers the peaceful place to relax.. What I loved is the Thursday party held by the bar area, the art placed all around and breakfast buffet however a variety would have been really nice since we were there for 5days

Excellent location, close to vibrant kloof street, nearby a bus stop. Fantastic view of table mountain, short trip to the cable way and lions head ( comfortable walking distance if you're feeling athletic). Nice that breakfast is included
Edmar “Awesome place to connect with people and be close to the city center where you have good bars.”

Location, staff and the room were great. A lot of space inside and the toilet was just very well designed.

First of all it's a perfect place for solo travellers as it is a very social (but no party) hostel . It's so easy to meet other travellers in the bar or pool area and there is even a hostel whatsapp group to connect and plan activities. The breakfast is also great and the beds are very comfortable.
