93 out of 98 HostelBookers customers said that they would recommend Atlantic Point Backpackers
Trip Type: Backpacking / gap year
Age Range: 25-30
I have stayed at Atlantic point twice, once in a dorm as a solo traveller and also on a double room with my partner two years later. It is a very friendly hostel in a safe location, in very easy reach of the waterfront, surrounded by the lovely Greenpoint Park. The double rooms are very clean and good value for money- similar to a hotel but with the social and cost benefits of a hostel. There are heaps of activities to book direct from the hostel too.. I will always stay here in Cape Town 😀

A very comfortable, hospitable place! We stayed in a double room, en suite. The room had a large window for natural light, a closet and a table for a desk and our stuff. The whole place was squeaky clean, kept that way by a diligent, motherly lady and her partners. The garden was large with plenty of seating and greenery. The lounge had a large flat screen TV and comfortable couches. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for several people to fix food at once. A long table offered plenty of space for guests to eat. We could live here!
