91 Loop

Top choice in Cape Town


Jo'burg investors are behind this new and buzzing place offering a good range of rooms, including pods – essentially a dorm bed but instead of a bunk you sleep in a concrete, oblong pod with a tad more privacy. Rooms and dorms (all named after major world cities) offer big mattresses, and there are high housekeeping standards throughout.

The stylish Honey Badger restaurant and bar on the ground floor is a major social space, and there's a programme of daily activities – some free – to get guests mingling.
