I have stayed at Cape Town backpackers a number of times over the last few years and have found them to be excellent place to stay with the rooms clean and the staff very helpful & friendly. I have stayed at several other backpackers in Cape Town and would suggest Cape Town Backpackers for location, quality of rooms, reasonable pricing... More

I have stayed at 5 different hostels in Cape Town and this has been my favorite. The location is perfect. It's not noisy because it's not on the main street (Long St.) where all of the seedy people are at night. But it's close enough to this area to go out for drinks or dinner. The neighborhood has cool coffee... More

This place turned out to be a highlight of my trip. I was on my rtw trip and stayed here, I was expecting to be here one or 2 days and leave. Turned out I stayed for 10 days. Why? The staff mainly, they are like friends and really help you. I felt so at home and felt like I'd... More

The first two nights in the hostel we almost had no sleep at all. The bar and dancing floor was in the room above our beds. They never told us aboud this when we checked in.

And more importantly, very close to RAFIKI'S, UNDISPUTED the best bar in Cape Town. REALLY TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! Just nice people who like to party,... More

Cape Town Backpackers has a nice atmosphere & great (peaceful) location with some good restaurants/bars very close by. It’s a good budget option in an expensive city. We had a double en-suite room that was clean & included linens/towels etc. We liked the period style of the building. The facilities & breakfasts are good. Staff are friendly, laidback & helpful...
