About Hippo Pod
Cape Town's first boutique pod hotel. For the same price as a backpackers you get your own private, lockable double pod with 32" smart TV with HDMI and headphone jack, universal and USB plugs. We have the speediest WiFi in town. It's unlimited and free so you can stream and cast your socks off!
Each room has 6 pods. We have female only pod rooms, male only pod rooms and mixed pod rooms where double occupancy is allowed. We also have gender neural rooms as we understand gender isn't always that clear cut. We are LGBTQ friendly and will fit you in wherever you feel the most comfortable!
