I had the best time at the hostel. I spent 2 months working at reception and would really recommend it to anyone. The work is fairly simple and is quiet interesting as you get to know how a hostel is run. The manager is super kind and was always encouraging at work, which made the work really enjoyable. I met so many people during the 2 months and… read more

James was an absolute pleasure to have. He was a fast learner and was even helping at the reception on his very first day already. He is friendly and always leaves everyone with a smile on their faces after talking to him. We wish him the best with all future endeavors and would love to have him back one day.

AP is a great place to work in Cape Town. I have learned a lot during my stay. They make sure to teach enough so you can do the work right, but they also highly encourage you to use your own talents and get involved by providing new ideas to use at the hostel.

I joined for a work exchange in December 2014 through February 2015 and had a fantastic time. The hostel itself is award-winning and deservedly so. It's a great space -- clean, modern, fun and social, and ideally located in Green Point midway between the city center and Cape Town's best beaches.

The hostel is amazing, one of the best that I've been. The staff, colleagues and security guards, are super cool. Really nice people. Working 8 hours per day (basically 3p.m to 11p.m) didn't leave much time to enjoy the city. Too many hours for a workaway project. Anyways, it was nice to meet all the wonderful people.

Maggi was really a great addition to our team. We did not expect her to work with us for as long as she did! At the end Maggi left only because she had to leave the country. She was a valuable team member who we could reply on without a doubt!
We would certainly be lucky if more Workways like Maggi helped us!
