Great place great location no problems up until we had to check out and my 3 rings were gone that i left on the rooms zinc... They claimed they never saw it but it was gone and only they had access to the room very disappointing cuz the place looks amaizing but that is straight up theft and even tho it doesnt have value of millions it had sentimental value to me but location and place great..

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.

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.

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.

This was my first EVER stay in a backpackers hostel and believe me I was a little nervous not really knowing what to expect. ||||However, I needn't be at all. My stay at Ashanti was great. ||My room was perfect, clean and tidy on arrival. The staff (Kyle) was extremely friendly and approachable. He was always on hand to offer advice about the area, the lodge and had some great tips on local places to check out. ||||Ashanti is in a great location. It's around a 45min walk from the V&A Waterfront and only 10 minute walk from Cape Town city centre yet, its far enough away you always get a good night sleep. There are restaurants, coffee shops and and checkers 5 minute walk away. You get great views of table mountain as well. It's 10 minutes in an UBER from Camps Bay and Clifton Beaches. ||||showers and toilets were spotless everyday. My room had a ceiling fan that was much needed in the heat and kept me cool at night. The pool was also nice to cool down and served as a great opportunity to meet other guests. ||||I loved my stay at Ashanti and if this is what backpackers hostels are like, I am all for it. All the others certainly have some big shoes to fill to match the Ashanti. ||||I would like to thank the entire team at Ashanti and a personal thank you to Kyle. ||I will be back
