The Backpack is THE place to stay when in Cape Town. Not only did I get to wake up the most incredible view of Table Mountain every day, I got to meet really nice people from all over the world. I arrived alone (and scared I will be alone for the whole duration of my trip here) but within one hour I had made some really good friends and 30 minutes later I was on Table Mountain with them. The staff are all wonderful and incredibly in tune with how to make the hostel a warm, friendly place by putting on drum nights and the weekly braais - which are not to miss at all!

I was so surprised to see that the hostel was exactly as described on various websites and in Let's Go. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed my stay.
