I spent about a month at the villa and can only recommend it: great and warm team, cozy & clean rooms, delicious coffee & breakfast and shared braai. The location is perfect for any activities.
The icing on the cake is the hostel cat. I slept in private rooms as well as in the dorm.
Favorite place: the garden area with the pool.
In my last week, new curtains were installed on the dorm beds.
The people in the villa are from various nationalities, but mostly very chilled and fun to spent time with.
The whole villa team is super helpful and absolutely lovely!
Will keep my stay in the villa at heart and hope to be back!

Probably the best accommodation in Cape Town for travelers or remote workers.
Offers everything from hostel dorm to private suite, while being super clean.
Nice people, good vibes, fun events.
Good restaurants and bars in walking distance.
Wi-Fi is pretty fast as well.

Dear Villa Viva team, thank so much for the wonderful time I got to spent at your hostel/guesthouse! 🫶🏼
I came as a solo traveler to Capetown and almost spent four weeks in the Villa Viva and absolutely loved my time there. It was definitely more then I expected, and I sure this is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Also considering that the hostel is only one year old I was more than satisfied with my overall experience there.
First of all, the whole accommodation is super super clean, beautifully furnished and decorated with great art from different artists and lots of plants! The Female Dorm Room (where I stayed in) features super comfy beds, lots of living space and a bathroom accessible directly from the dorm room. The terrace and the bar area always invites you to eat together with other guests or employees of the hostel and the garden feels like a small oasis in the middle of this big city. ✨
But what really makes this hostel special in my eyes is the wonderful team working there. The staff and the volunteers instantly made me feel welcomed and after a short time of living there the Villa felt like my second home so far away from my home in Germany. Everyone working there is really open, always up for a chat before or after a long day and super helpful if you need an advice or help with anything. I absolutely loved the dynamic between the staff, the volunteers and the guests all together. People there just get along in such a natural way and I really appreciate all the stories and memories I made at the Villa…
Adding one last big thing to the list is that, during my stay I’ve also learned more about the NGO “Viva con Agua” which is really cool, since the Villa Viva is a family member of VcA.💧
I am super excited for my next stay at the Villa Viva, thanks!

Villa Viva is honestly one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed. Not only the beautiful property and the breathtaking table mountain view, but also the wonderful people and the warm, welcoming energy made my stay very special. It’s a space full of creativity - art, music, events - and togethernesses. Also the social (business) and tolerant vibe there is very present there, what I personally appreciate a lot
Thanks for a great time. 💙

This hostel hit my heart. Everything was perfect: location, cleanliness, security and above all the lovely people here, especially the Volentiers! The concept of the hostel is to create a home away from home and that's exactly what they achieved! After a short time you become part of the family. If you are thinking about choosing this hostel, do it! You will be welcomed with open arms and you will definitely want to come back, as many others! Thank you villa viva for a home far from home ❤️❤️
