Jake was a joy to have at the reception and he will be missed a lot.
He was always energetic, in a good mood and ready to help with any tasks even if they were not part of his job. He is a hardworking person that we definitely enjoyed having here.
I would really recommend Jake to anyone and I wish him the best with all future endeavors… 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.

I went to South Africa for 2 months, looking for a great place to stay and work, to meet friends from all over the world in a great atmosphere. This hostel is the best place in Cape Town. The manager Tim is great and really helpful. The tasks are easy and you have plenty of time to discover the beautiful city of Cape Town.

Had an amazing time in here. Was there for 3 months from Jan to April, and saw a lot, learnt a lot, discovered a lot. Tim, James, the housekeeping staff, and all my other interns were super fun to be around with.

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.

Ana has been an absolute asset to our team. Her hard work and involvement with guests has been fantastic to the team and is a big part of our continued success. She maintains the professional but super friendly demeanor that is needed for hospitality while being a great team player.

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!
