EstoniaThe building was secure and the staff was friendly and helpful, even calling us an Uber and giving tour suggestions. The facilities were clean and the rooms were cute and comfortable. Each room had a different theme, and we got to enjoy the safari tent room. Breakfast was sufficient, the rooftop bar wasn't too rowdy, and the wifi was fast. It was close to many interesting spots downtown. I would definitely stay here again.
United States of AmericaBest thing about this Backpacker is the location. Well situated in Cape town that you can walk around and get to some really cool places. We went in the winter and the electric blankets were amazing! People were very friendly and social. Great place to stay.
