Great place to stay! People very kind and good atmosphere. Safe and clean. =)

This boutique backpackers really wasn't a boutique feel at all. Yes they decorated the rooms, but a teenager with a few paintbrushes and old vinyl could have done the same. I arrived a bit late and the night staff wasn't able to bring up my reservation so wasn't sure which room they'd allocated. Nevertheless I stayed in Khayelitsha room. As... More

33 South is in a really convenient place, fits perfectly into the bohemian atmosphere of Obs. The best thing about it has to be the staff - very helpful! Someone I was talking to staying at 33 South is having a hard time finding somewhere to stay after this week, and all the staff pooling their contacts to help him... More

I stayed at the hostel for one night in a single room with en-suite which was really well decorated and a lovely comfy bed but both towels provided were dirty. It was hard to find the hostel to begin with (being 33 but street address 48? quite confusing) but is in a nice location and near to shops and bars... More

I was in Kaapstad for a fairly short time, but thanx to the helpfull staff of Backpackers I didn 't lost a minute with researching. Manager Allen took us up the mountain and it's was memorable. The place itself feels almost like home. All comfort is there and lots of movement in the house. If I end up in Kaapstad... More

This is a great place to relax in Cape Town. Situated in Obs so close to some quality bars and cafes, perhaps the best Cape Town has to offer. Clean, comfortable communal areas and dorms. Cosy enough to meet other backpackers if you're traveling solo but also great for groups. Loads of travel info on tap. Savy and smiling staff.... More

having never backpacked previously , i didnt know what to expect, but found 33 to be a very friendly place to stay, the staff are awesome, the whole place has a great vibe, relaxed and everyone seems to be easy to talk with. The evening food which is prepared by the staff is so delicious and a at good price,... More

Friendly & helpful staff, lovely rooms, and very charming touches all over the place. Tons better than the typical hostel but completely affordable. Great kitchen and courtyard area, too! The location is very convenient and fun...some good bars and restaurants in the neighborhood and a short train or taxi ride to downtown CT.
