Altona’s biggest advantage is its location. The accommodation offered is at ‘entry level’ and we frequently refer to it as ‘two steps up from a Backpackers’. We offer comfortable and clean surroundings. The house, having 13 bedrooms (8 with Private Bathrooms and 5 using Communal Bathrooms), is ideal for small groups. Historically it has been very popular and fits the pockets of International travellers who seeks budget accommodation without having to compromise their privacy.

Extraordinarily kind hosts, wonderful location (very close to the park, waterfront, city center, calm), clean, secured, electricity autonomy thanks to photovoltaic panels, etc. I highly recommend to travelers of whatever profile.

The staff is absolutely lovely, the premises are very beautiful and comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. The area is very nice and peaceful, at a walking distance from the Waterfront. There is a very nice café one block away (really recommended) and many more options to eat, drink and buy groceries on the main road. They have very good security and there is a guard on the street during the night. I will definitely come back here next time that I come to Cape Town!

I had a quiet and peaceful stay at Altone Lodge. They offer a good continental breakfast and all day complimentary tea and coffee. The room was bigger than I thought it would be given that its an entry level establishment that does not have a tourism grading. I think actually it's better than many graded establishments and the service was superb. They do not have on site parking but the lodge is on a quiet street. I felt safe and did not have much concern about the safety of my car that was parked on the street, especially since they have a overnight guard who looks after the cars at night. My room was on the ground floor and it had an en-suite toilet which was nice and clean. The price is more than reasonable given the central location of the property in Greenpoint - close to shops and arterial road. PLUS PLUS - They is also complimentary wifi and NO LOADSHEDDING - they have roof solar panels. There do not have normal DSTV channels on room TV, but NETFLIX more than compensate for that.…

Absolutely enjoyed my stay at this little gem. From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you pack up and leave, you get treated like you are a part of a family. Staff are very friendly and are always willing to tend to any needs you may have. While the property is not modern like most places these days, you definitely get a sense of feeling at home with clean facilities etc. The area is also nice and quiet during the night. Thank you for a lovely stay! Would most certainly go back on my next visit should there be space!

Nice place with beautiful decor. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Location is good as you can walk to the nearest shop/restaurant within 5-10 minutes. The highlight of the stay is of course the cute cat.
