We enjoyed our stay in Cape Town very much , and were especially pleased with this backpacker's lodge, in a great street- easy to reach and private parking just around the corner. The place is simple, friendly and the receptionists were all very helpful. We enjoyed a very special excursion to the Cape Flats, which was arranged through this place.... More

This is a nice hostel at a great location. Long Street has all the bars you could want. Yet, this hostel is not right in the middle of it, but rather a two minute walk away, making it quiet enough to enjoy a good night's sleep. Staff are very friendly, you get your own safe, and it's clean. I stayed... More

I stayed at Cat and Moose for my final night following a two week holiday in South Africa. I was simply looking for a cheap room for a night before flying back to the UK. Cat and Moose is situated at the end of Long Street just before the junction with Orange Street and Kloof street. It is right in... More

We two ladies in our late seventies thoroughly enjoyed our nine day stay at the Cat and Moose. The location (and the price) couldn't be better. It is within walking distance of many of the downtown "must see" sites. Long Street felt quite safe for walking at night, with lots of security personnel on duty both night and day. The... More

Totally recommend this place! It's cool, it's quiet and a real place to relax in the middle of Long Street. The rooms are clean, the price is very good and the flair is unbelievable! You feel like in a little oasis in the middle of crawling Cape Town! Communication and reservation via email without any problems! More

This was my second time to stay at Cat and Moose. It's a great place, the staff is very helpful, and the location is perfect. Close enough to everything you would want to see on Long Street, but far enough away to be quiet. More

The double rooms are inexpensive and well maintained. Its the best location for the bars and shopping in Cape Town. The staff is very friendly and... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here (in one of their double rooms, shared bathroom) in August 2006 and we would really recommend it to anyone backpacking. It's affordable, great location - on Long Street which is where you want to be, the staff are friendly, the is a nice chilled out atmosphere...no complaints at all! More

My friend and I stayed in the Cat and Moose for a week or so on and off whilst we were in Cape Town in 2003. We loved it here. Its right in the middle of Long Street, and therefore the action, so it was great for going out at night as we could stumble in after a minutes walk.... More
