The Cat and Moose backpackers was my last hostel after travelling the Garden Route of South Africa, and I really had to get used to the difference with those more relaxed, clean and personal backpackers where I stayed earlier. The Cat and Moose is ideally located at Long Street and they can organise a lot of trips for you and... More

We had a very good time at this hostel, staff was very helpful, self catering kitchen is big, the room was also big and comfortable, bathrooms was clean, the building is nice and has a very good vibe to it. And being on Long Street, location is great.

I stayed at the backpackers for a week visiting various places in Cape Town with a friend. The staff was very helpful and friendly in helping to book tours and transportation - definitely recommend wine touring, shark cage diving, and Robben Island for anyone visiting the area. The hostel is clean and has a great location on Long Street near... More

Really helpful and friendly staff and great location. The rooms are fairly basic but good value for money. Nice courtyard and it was possible to book wine tours from there that pick you up from the front door!

The area around the Longstreet is a bit dodgy and there are many scoundrels around! So be careful where you go, especially at night. Positive: It is "in the Heart of Cape Town"!

Perfect location directly between the bars and nightclubs on Long Street and the restaurants and shops on Kloof Street. Even a cab to the Waterfront was only about R40, which is quite okay. The place itself had a wonderful cozy common area with a TV to unwind after an exhausting day. The staff did help out with any inquiries I... More
