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.

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.

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!

had an amazing stay at a budget-friendly hostel in Cape Town. The friendly staff went above and beyond, providing me with helpful maps and even allowing me to use their phone to make an international call. The rooms were clean, the cafe served delicious food, and the location was convenient for walking to the center. Highly recommend this place!

Het was erg handig om de bezienswaardigheden te verkennen, aangezien het hotel op loopafstand lag. Gelukkig had het hotel natuurlijk privé parkeergelegenheid, wat ideaal was. De kamer was ruim en het bed was comfortabel. Gelukkig waren er koffie- en theefaciliteiten beschikbaar. De ontvangst door het personeel was vriendelijk en ik kon snel en gemakkelijk contact met hen opnemen via WhatsApp. Alles was natuurlijk schoon en de faciliteiten waren prima.
Er was niets dat ik niet leuk vond.

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. Cons: 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.
