Long Street Backpackers, Cape Town South Africa

You stay at Long Street Backpackers in the middle of Cape Town’s city center, a hostel with private rooms and dormitories set around a courtyard. The building has been a hostel since 1994, with rooms converted from small apartments. Private rooms have timber floors and some have ensuite bathrooms; dorms have bunk beds and shared bathrooms. The courtyard is shaded and has seating, and the bar, Sweeties Beerhall, hosts live music and events like karaoke and quiz nights.

The hostel is on Long Street, close to cafes, restaurants, and clubs. Public transport stops nearby, and the staff organize group activities like hikes up Lion’s Head. The kitchen is shared, and there are lockers for storage. The bar balcony overlooks the street, where you can watch the activity below.

The hostel is a place for meeting other travelers, with communal spaces designed for socializing. The building has a mosaic stairwell and balconies, and the rooms are simple, with fresh linen and power points. The bar is open to both guests and locals, and the street outside is busy day and night.
