Convenient and comfortable straight from an overnight flight. Taxi was pre-booked each way to/from the airport. Great for Kloof St. vibe and a short taxi ride to the Waterfront.
It’s a Backpackers so expect some rowdy noise on a Friday night.

Friendly staff, nice location and step above other backpackers!
Bit of a smell in kitchen, probably old food left by clients.

Great stay! Beautiful building with lots of places to read, or have interesting conversations with people from all over the world. Good restaurant, too. Incredibly helpful, friendly staff!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2026
The facility is excellent, clean and well maintained. It's in a very good location within walking distance to restaurants, stores and nightlife. It has a lounge area outside and a swimming pool inside. The staff is available 24 hrs and very helpful.
I would have preferred to have a non-shared room but there was none available because of a big conference/ convention in Cape Town.
