Love the place. Love the animals and the staff. It's so chilled, hence I've been coming back every year since 2006. Great for surfing, tanning, meeting new friends and partying! Love Salties! Uli

Had such a nice time at Saltys. Everyone is so nice and laid back. Perfect location, 5-10 min walk to the bus, 5 min walk to the nearest shop/bar and 5 min walk to beach. Don't miss out on Tequila Tuesday! 5 Rand @ shot! They arrange very good trips, like the Full Moon hike to Lions Head. And otherwise... More

I came to Salty's to volunteer teaching local township kids how to surf and have been having a great time. The projects are a lot of fun, and the hostel itself is awesome. The staff is friendly and willing to help, and Salty's attracts a lot of cool, fun, and chill people. The beach/bars are only a short walk away,... More

It's chilled in the day but there are always interesting people around to chat to. Haven't many people who didn't end up extending their stay here. Rooms were clean and very good value... More

As a backpacker, this is great! You have a very friendly staff which will help you with everything. Saltycrax lies a bit away from Cape Town, but you have the buses going all the time. I stayed for five days and had a extremsport package included. This is without doubt the five best days of my trip. We had hot... More

Saltycrax I'm sure would be great if you were traveling in a group and more interested in surfing than seeing Cape Town. But if you like to be in the thick of things with a lot of people around, try somewhere a little closer. Saltys is 20-30mins from the centre city, on a quiet street in Table View. If you... More

We stayed on the 5 day Cape town tour package which was fantastic value for money. All the best parts of Cape Town history and culture jam packed into 5 days. Staff are approachable, very friendly and down to earth. The facilities we're clean and working with hot water (at one point we were in a group of 10, so... More
