Sal weer Kaapstad besoek. Lekker, maar beslis nie weer by Forty8 gaan bly nie.

Will visit Cape Town again. Nice, but definitely not going to stay at Forty8 again.
No, the place is not up to standard. Don't even have cupboards to store your stuff, just a steel cupboard under the bed, half of which won't even lock. Men's bathroom's toilet is broken, men's kitchen's fridge and kettle are not working. Room's door to the balcony is broken, and according to one of the permanent residents, the place has been like this for some time.

I really wouldn't recommend.
I really don't have a problem with most places, but honestly I was quite disappointed. The bathrooms are really very dirty. There are urine stains on the floor around the toilet and one is afraid to walk in there late at night without shoes because it. The bathroom roof is moldy. The bed lies through to the bosses. They refused to let us take our room key from the hotel and were quite afraid that they might rummage through our things. Didn't get a tour of the facility. The floors creak very badly, sounds like someone is attacking you in the middle of the night as they walk down the corridors. The workers were very intimidating, we felt quite anxious. Hangout right below the hotel that plays music late at night. This place really has a lot of potential if it is managed properly. I don't recommend it to anyone at all, sorry to say - but just my honest opinion.

Very friendly and helpful. Everything clean and tidy.
Slept well and the facilities are clean. However, the floors creak and the "neighbors" didn't stand still, so one night was a bit disturbing.

Unsafe.
Was neat and clean, beds hollow, terrible stench in the kitchen. The worst, however, was the man I found in the bathroom. Standing there doing nothing in the dark. I turned on the light and quickly slipped into the toilet and closed the door. He was gone when I came out, but I was too scared to take a shower in the open showers with only curtains hanging in front.

Extremely unpleasant and a waste of money.
My parking was on the street without security. I felt like a stranger, actually threatened. The TV's picture was hopeless and so I can go on. Extremely unpleasant.

Inconvenient.
No parking, double sofas and no ladder for upstairs sleeping. Narrow corridor for 6 people to get dressed. Noise in the street from stalls and nightclubs. High toilet.

What an unforgettable weekend!
We were very impressed with Forty8 Backpackers Hotel. Again the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful room and there were no complaints. Everything is within walking distance and it's very easy to move from point A to B. Will definitely visit the Hotel again and refer our friends to you.

Ontvangs was koud en teleurstellend. G'n hulp was aangebied, andersins was ons verblyf aanvaarbaar.

Reception was cold and disappointing. No help was offered, otherwise our stay was acceptable.
The staff at reception were unfriendly and disappointing - A smile would make a big difference. One of the staff members helped us with our luggage after we had to ask. Help was not offered spontaneously. The Hotel is neat and that was really a plus. A touch of kindness from the staff will definitely make a big difference.

The location is perfect, but there are a lot of little things that could be better.
The "communal areas" are quite small, there is no table in the rooms, but the bathrooms were clean, the rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and it is ideally located.

Satisfactory!
The place is centrally located, but not very safe. The parking was a slight problem. The room is a bit cramped, power plugs are inadequate, and thus the TV did not work properly. The bathroom is very neat for "backpackers". The kitchen, dining and living area was very comfortable.

Excellent value for money in the heart of Cape Town.
I would recommend Forty8 to anyone. It's a backpackers and the accommodation is in hostel style rooms with shared bathrooms - but if you're just looking for a bed to sleep in then this is excellent. The facilities were clean and tidy and staff were available throughout. I will go again.
