37 Strand Street, 8000 Cape Town, South Africa – Great location - show map
Close to a lot of bars and restaurants. Friendly, helpful staff.

Most of the staff is really nice. The bar on top is great to meet people and have a great view on the city ! Comfortable beds and clean rooms and facilities. Great location

Location is perfect , staff are really helpful & friendly

Centrally located to museums, parks, downtown. Rooftop eating/ drinking area.

Clean, friendly, good kitchen and common space, location & information

The 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.

Best 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.

The location of the place is very convenient, very close to everything in the city. rooms are cozy, comfortable bed, nice and helpful staff.

The staff was nice, the room clean and the rooftop was pretty incredible.

The staff were amazing and really went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The view from the apartment is also to die for. It has a laid back vibe which is amazing.
