Ashanti Lodge Gardens

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 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.

Looked a little rustic, but was pleasantly surprized. Staff was exilente, place was clean, showers great and breakfast super.

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 stayed at Ashanti for one or two nights(not 100% sure) I had a great time! Awesome pool & bar on site. They also have a communal kitchen (which I did not use) that can be handy when traveling on a strict budget. Breakfast is available for R60 which isn't bad. Kyle is a superstar at reception. All in all it was a good experience and I will stay there again

If you want to stay in a home away from home where community lives and a spirit of kindness then look no further. I stated in the double bed room nice and spacious with basin and bathroom and shower was communal. The place has aged considering I stayed here in 2016 yet it still clean and managed well and it's rooms don't exactly look like the picture yet all smooth. The bathrooms were excellent that's always a first priority. Naz was my shining star always ready to help and of service especially on weekends when there is no reception. All the staff were kind friendly and helpful, place was kept clean. I was gonna give this place a 5 star yet I found it interesting that one morning I had misplaced my bank card. I wanted a R50 breakfast and told the gentleman who makes breakfast that I would pay when I comeback from the ATM, he didn't even have other options and asked if I was staying an extra night (which I wasn't at that moment (ended up staying an extra night) he's case was because of so many other guests he needs immediate payment because he has huge bills of unpaid breakfasts. I found this disappointing and understandable. Otherwise wise choice situated within walking distance of everything. Made new family and friends Always a great choice.

Fantastic safe and friendly place in an easy location to get around and see beautiful Cape Town. Table mountain ⛰️ hovers above, blessing this lovely 😍 lodge!

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
