Conveniently located close to the sea and the main shopping street. Walkable in a few minutes. In a quiet part of Hermanus, not to much noise around. Super friendly staff, always around to help. Free WiFi throughout the hostel and a computer to use the internet is provided. Generously big dorm rooms. Communal bathrooms. Nice bar, good vibe. Go for... More

Awesome place, friendly staff, great dog! Had a good time and will recommend it for backpackers. Spent there 3 days, which was perfect! Clean, comfortable, a nice bar... you feel like you're part of this family! I was sad to leave!

I can highly recommend this backpackers. Hermanus is beautiful, the people are very hospitable and there are some nice bars and restaurants. The people who work here are really nice and friendly. I was on my own and they introduced me to a lot of their friends, which was really nice. I had an absolutely great time here!

Besides being an excellent self catering place to live in, the courteous staff full of life genuinely added to the flavour of living well. Being Indian and from Sikh religion celebrated one of the best Christmas ever.. beginning Dec 24 until Dec 27! Staff, guests everybody were in really good mood... God bless Hermanus BP Cheers !

Hermanus Backpackers was quite empty when we arrive in early Jan, but the staff did their best to make us feel like home and was very helpful. The venue has a funky set-up, free wifi, its own bar and a separate cottage also with a swimming pool, around the corner, where private rooms are located. It is a great place... More

If you like cool, young people that is the place to be. It's nice and clean. The staff is young but is not trying to integrate backpackers. The Hostel is hip and very colorful. A little bit noisy but in a backpacker Hostel it's normal. Close to the center. Bed are good. No breakfast included.
