Great place in a great location. Handy restaurants and shops round corner. Loved our room. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Good value tours. Thanks guys for making our stay a special one. We'll be back. .

We ended our African journey here and we are glad we chose it. We were recommended by its sister hostel in Lusaka. They seem to understand overland travel people, like Lusaka they have a large secure and (seemingly unusual for central Cape Town) totally free car park. And because they have proper free Internet with no restrictions we are able... More

The atmosphere was great, food and drinks were cheap and its close... More

Booking on HostelWorld was easy, checking in didn't take long and found service throughout to be good. Stayed in a room with the nicest sheets I've had at any... More

We loved this place. It Has a good mix of people, there is always someone at the bar to chat with and party if you want. we had a super clean room, good value food and a good location. Couldn't ask for more.

I love Cape Town Backpackers!!  I originally booked for 3 days but landed up staying for 3 months!  Rooms are clean, and it's close to everything you need including Long street (without actually being on Long street which means its much quieter and safer).  It really has a vibe to suit anyone.  If your looking for a party, the bar...

Between Hotel and Backpackers you have both here , the staff the management are on the button for anything you need. You need to go no farther than this place, its location and closeness to the city and mountains you could not ask for more. Everything is on foot and I mean it , restaurants pubs and clubs and mountains... More
