It's was awesome
Pros:

> Loved it — right opposite the beach! Beds are fabulous, proper comfortable bed with great duvet, pillows and full curtain enclosure for privacy. Own locker with plug at the bed to charge phone/laptop is so handy.
> Bathrooms are fancy and neat, showers spray like a waterfall. Good vibes everywhere, lots of cool art on the walls and great community spirit. Staff are friendly and chatty. I'll be back soon — this is the real deal for Muizenberg!

Cons:

That I had to go back home

100% awesome
Pros:

> Stayed at Cape Nomads with friends for surfing lessons — in hindsight we should have used the in-house coach!
> However the accommodation was superb, the best I've seen in a long time. Very clean, awesome showers, and fast WiFi — I chatted to family in the UK on WhatsApp with no issues.
> This place made me feel like I was crashing at a buddy's place. The surfing was great and everything about it was tops. We ordered breakfast — a true English breakfast that made me feel right at home.
> Cape Nomads — 100% awesome. Enjoyed my stay and will be back after doing the Garden Route!
Ps bed was extremely comfy - slept like dream.

Cons:

Just not summer yet

Pros:

The place is on good location next to the beach.

Cons:

They started renovating the place where we were still there. I was told not to use some toilet or bathroom because there where other guests coming. And the staff was not as friendly as they supposed to be. I even moved out before time because of dust from the renovation.

Apart from the facilities being of high standard? Maryna iswhat makes this place amazing!
Pros:

Maryna makes this place feel like a home away from home. I booked the accommodation for my cousin as a gift & she went well above & beyond!!🙏⭐️

I would highly recommend staying here. A place where trust, integrity & respect are values they live by.

Thank you so much Cape Capsules, I’m definitely going to visit when I come in August!

Pros:

Cape Capsules in Muizenberg is a true home away from home. Maryna and Mike are incredibly warm, caring, and hospitable hosts, and you can feel the love they’ve put into every detail of the space.
The capsules are clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the indoor foot shower after beach walks and the no-shoe policy, which keeps everything fresh and peaceful.
The location is perfect for morning beach walks, and the balcony offers stunning sunrises and sunsets. Breakfast was simple and delicious — just what you need to start the day — and the honesty bar is a great added convenience.
What made my stay truly special were the connections I made. I left not only relaxed, but with meaningful friendships and unforgettable experiences.
Highly recommended!

Hostel divertido e limpo.
Pros:

Fomos bem recebidas, como se fosse uma grande família. Muito organizado e limpo. Todos são muito simpáticos e atenciosos. Fica muito próximo ao centrinho do bairro.

Cons:

É uma região um tanto insegurança e não há estacionamento. Somente numa rua lateral.No caso já estávamos sem carro. Mas para alguém que está de carro pode complicar um.pouco.
Mesmo assim, voltaria.

Pros:

A very friendly, warm, and welcoming place that truly feels like home. I loved that you can encapsulate yourself in your own little private room while still enjoying the cozy, homely atmosphere with some incredible people staying here.
Maryna, the owner, is incredibly hospitable and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. I also chose the bed-and-breakfast option, and the breakfast was wonderful — fresh, tasty, and a great start to the day.
This is a fantastic place to stay in Muizenberg Cape Town, and I couldn’t recommend Cape Capsules enough. I would happily stay here again. 👍

Never again!
Pros:

It was very quiet since there were very few guests.

Cons:

The Hostel is plastered with rules. They make you pay for everything, including forgetting to take out the power socket for the toaster. This gives an extremely unwelcoming feeling. Plus they make you pay a "deposit" of 500 ZAR for a locker key and charge you an extra cleaning fee of 80 ZAR. Since they made us pay that with Yoko, they claim to be entitled to surcharge 12% on top of that. In the end we had hat to pay 486 ZAR (~26€) per person for one night instead of 346 ZAR (~18,50€), which was the original offer on booking.com. We've never come across a Hostel that conducted its business this way and feel like being scammed.
