Never at Home Kloof Street

As a first-timer at a backpackers, Never@Home Kloof Street absolutely blew me away. From the warm welcome tour to the secure storage for my suitcase (so I could explore hands-free), this place really knows how to cater to solo adventurers. The balcony, braai area, and the ever-buzzing bar make sure you’re never short on vibes – even if you’re just popping down for a drink and people-watching. I booked a 4-bed ladies-only dorm with a mountain view and, boy, did they deliver! Imagine stepping into the shower and being greeted by a full-on view of Table Mountain. That’s right – shower views! Each bed has its own lock-up space (bring your own padlocks!) and even a little desk if you’re feeling productive. Seating is a bit scarce outside of your bed, so embrace the lounge life. Can’t wait to come back and “rough it” in style again.

Very clean rooms, really love the provisions made for bedrooms from clean sheets to enough materials for warmth. Also great security and service demonstrated, and moderate pricing.

Superb location, great staff and super comfy bed with a work area. I loved the back yard with kitchen and chill area where you could enjoy movie and bbq nights! If you get a street facing room, the bar area downstairs gets pretty loud, but if that's you vibe - it's all good. The location on Kloof Street is great, so much to do in the area within walking distances.

Super friendly and helpful staff! The room was absolutely clean and had everything you need, including electric plugs by the bed, blockout curtains, a fan and storage space. There is a communal kitchen with dishes, stove, kettle and refridgerators.

After a wonderful stay in Aug 2023, I came back in Aug 2024 for two nights. I can't compare with other places in CPT, I only stayed and will stay here! Some people told me "Yes, it's great but too expensive", so yea, there might be cheaper alternative solutions, but I did not check... In general, for my experience, I think that you get more or less what you pay for... Great location, clean, perfect service, with private safe parking if you have a car (I had it last year) and very nice people, both there and in the next bar/restaurant Yours Truly... One little drawback: This year the fantastic lounge music bar at 1st floor was closed for renovation... Actually, I did not feel it needed a rennovation, I found it perfect last year and would have loved to find it as such this year too...

The location can’t beat, especially for the price. It’s surrounded by restaurants and bars with a great view of Table Mountain. The staff are exceptional!
