I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, situated in the center of the city close to bars, restaurants, and shops. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the vibes at the hotel were great. The single room I stayed in was sufficient for my needs, providing a safe place to store my bag and a comfortable bed. I appreciated that they offered to store my luggage after I checked out, and they even provided me with an adapter when I needed one. a great experience.
Nothing that I didn't like.

During our stay at Long Street Backpackers, we had a fantastic time soaking up the lively atmosphere and meeting fellow travelers. The location right in the heart of Long Street was perfect for experiencing the vibrant nightlife and exploring the city center. We particularly enjoyed the Friday night BBQ organized by the friendly and helpful managers, Gareth and Maurice. It was a great opportunity to connect with other guests and indulge in delicious grilled food. Plus, the option to have our own designated area as a large group was a nice touch. we had a pleasant and enjoyable experience at Long Street Backpackers.
The only drawback we encountered was the room configuration. While the door provided some separation, it was a bit uncomfortable when the occupants of the other room had to pass through ours.

I had great value for my money at Long Street Backpackers. The room was comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring the CBD and getting around with Uber. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel so welcome during my stay.
The breakfast offerings could use some improvement, particularly in terms of variety and freshness.

The location of this backpackers is fantastic, with shops located below the building and plenty of bars, restaurants, and sightseeing spots within walking distance. it is close to the train station, making it convenient for exploring the city. the beach is also easily accessible, allowing guests to enjoy the sun and sand.
The dorm rooms can be a bit small and cozy, which may not be to everyone's liking.

I recently stayed at Long Street Backpackers for a few nights while exploring the city. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, allowing me to store my luggage and use the facilities as needed. The bar had a great selection of beer and the overall vibe of the place was warm and chill. I especially loved the presence of an adorable friendly dog roaming around. The building had an abundance of greenery, creating a livable and pleasant atmosphere. The presence of a kitchen and balcony was an added bonus. While the hostel had a social atmosphere, it never felt overly intense and was perfect for mingling with fellow travelers. The location on Long Street felt like a quiet oasis within the bustling city. it was the best hostel experience I had in Cape Town and I would definitely return in the future.
Totally recommend this hotel.

Long Street Backpackers was our first backpacker experience and it exceeded all our expectations. The well-equipped kitchen made self-catering easy and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The location on Long Street was perfect for exploring the city, and the two balconies provided great views of the street. The atmosphere was lively and the Friday Braai/BBQ was a highlight. The diverse range of guests added to the vibrant atmosphere, and the WiFi speed was excellent. a fantastic stay!
I do recommend this hotel.
