Mind-blowing location, easy to reach from the airport, accommodating staff, and helpful fellow guests. The shared facilities were fantastic, offering wi-fi, a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry, bar/lounge area, coffee shop. Luggage storage and a paid airport shuttle were also available. The small but cozy private room with a view of Table Mountain and Lion's Head was a great value for money. a superb experience for young travelers.

Fantastic, affordable location with knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Safe and secure property. On-site bar and cafe with generous prices. Clean bedrooms and bathrooms. Well-equipped kitchen for cooking meals. Helpful owners who provide safety information for a stay in Cape Town.

Felt very comfortable, nothing was too much trouble.

Nice vibe, closed patio, kitchen available. Cheap rooms but basic standard. Close to main street, shops, and restaurants. Helpful owners, good WiFi, safe with double doors.

The best hostel experience! Super friendly staff, clean rooms, ample bathrooms, great tour options, safe for solo travelers.

Nothing that I didn't like.

Room with a View: From my balcony, I could witness the majestic mountains, almost like Lion's Head and Table Mountain were putting on a daily parade just for me.

Noisy Traffic

Watched optimistic squirrels stroll through the Gardens on my way to the city center. Private parking, shared kitchen, and continental breakfast made me feel like a backpacking queen. The multilingual staff were a hoot!

Oh, just loved the lack of cupboards in the room and the under-equipped kitchen. Such a delightful surprise.

Staying at Zebra Crossing felt like home during our 2-week stay. The friendly staff and calm atmosphere provided a welcome escape from the bustling city. The view of Table Mountain from the balcony was breathtaking, and the beautiful garden spaces were perfect for relaxing. The central location made sightseeing and dining out easy, and the helpful staff made our stay even better. The laundry service, kitchen, and bathroom facilities were all excellent, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Do recommend this hotel.

I always return to my favorite hostel in Cape Town. They helped me find the best local delivery, which I still remember. It has everything I need - Wi-Fi, kitchen, laundry, bar, coffee shop. No pets allowed. I'm coming back for Easter!

Title: Great Family Experience!

My wife says that it would have been great to have more family-friendly activities for the children.

We had an amazing time exploring the colorful and vibrant Labia Theatre, a quirky and unique place to visit. The staff at the hotel were so helpful in recommending it to us and it was definitely a highlight of our trip. The location of the hotel was perfect, with everything we needed just a few minutes away. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we felt like we were right at home. The friendly atmosphere and the chance to meet other travelers added to the overall experience. Highly recommended for families looking for a memorable stay in Cape Town!

My children wanted more kid-friendly amenities at the hotel.

I recently stayed at a backpacker in Cape Town and it exceeded all my expectations. The staff made me feel right at home and treated every guest with such warmth and care. The accommodation was also very secure, which gave me peace of mind. They even arranged an airport pickup for me late at night, which was a great relief after a long day of travel. I have to give special recognition to Bronwyn for her excellent breakfasts every morning. The hostel is conveniently located near restaurants, making it easy to find good food. I had such a wonderful experience at the backpacker and I highly recommend it to others.

Nothing that I didn't like 😊

The twin room at Zebra Crossing Backpackers was amazing! It had a balcony where I could sit back and enjoy the view of the mountains. The room also had an electric kettle, making it convenient for making a quick cup of tea or coffee. I loved the cozy and homely vibe it gave off.

I didn't enjoy the shared bathroom. But hey, maybe others wouldn't mind it as much as I did.

I had an amazing stay at a charming backpacker in Cape Town. The atmosphere felt like home and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was safe and the view of Table Mountain was breathtaking. It was a calm oasis in the midst of the city's chaos. The facilities were good and I was able to get work done in the dining room. Although there were a few minor issues with the room and the location could be a bit far from some attractions, overall I highly recommend this hotel. I had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again.

The location of this backpacker was excellent, making it convenient to explore most attractions and amenities. The room I stayed in had a lovely balcony with an amazing view. The staff and other residents were incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. the check-in and check-out process was super easy and the staff always greeted me with a smile.

There were some security issues during my stay that the staff seemed ill-equipped to handle.
