Atlantic Point Backpackers

I’m going to try and ignore the fact that an American got stabbed to death in the kitchen on my second day because that could happen anywhere. Beyond that, I found the staff to be very inattentive—the reception desk was vacant the majority of the time I needed to stop by which made it very inconvenient when I needed to change my stay duration. When staff was present they were usually confused/couldn’t operate their online system and I had problems with both check in and with obtaining a lost item. Also, the bar was closed and the cleaning staff left my door open after cleaning it with my computer just sitting out (this was a private room) - I’m glad nothing was stolen. When I checked in the water wasn’t working in the dorm bedrooms, it was in the private rooms thankfully.

Very relaxed and welcoming staff, like Philip who was the best! Met lots of warm, friendly people as well. The place is also in an amazing location close to lots of restaurants and activities! Definitely coming back here!

Philip and Anouk are just so awesome, friendly and helpful. Location is great with lots to do and people are really friendly. Definitely the place to be when in Cape Town. Close to the V&A Waterfront and the City.

Right in an area not far from the City centre. İt has BBQ facilities so you can make a South African Braai and also has a small pool :) :) The waterfront is just 10 min walk and the neighbourhood has lots of restaurants, markets, laundry, etc Bo Kaap is 20 min walk

The staff is helpful and hostel has almost all facilities and good guests. Would recommend it specially for foreign tourists. As many other hostels have local workers as guests and they behave badly sometimes.

The pillows are the fluffiest I’ve ever felt, the beds are very comfortable, staff are extremely accommodating, friendly environment, close to the beach/shops It’s a swimming pool, bar and braai 🙌🏼

Once again we stayed at Atlantic Point Backpackers, located in Greenpoint, Capetown. I love so many things about this hostel. They have a great location, with just a one minute walk to the local bus stop (my Citi), which can take you to the Waterfront, Seapoint Area, Camps Bay Beach and more. There are lots of restaurants in walking distance, and the Greenpoint Park. Don't forget the free Yoga at the park on Tuesday mornings. The hostel has an amazing active what's app group, where guests can organize activties, lifts and hanging out together, which I find so useful, especially if you're new and looking to connect with other travelers. I wish more hostels did this. Wifi works during load shedding, so you're still able to get work done if you need to, as a digital nomad this is a huge things for me. We usually stay in the dorms downstairs (Skye) is our spacious room. No bunk beds (winning) and three beds to each side of the room, which there are two halves. I absolutely love that. There is a laundry service available, affordable and done quite efficiently. The reception team are helpful and so are the kitchen and house keeping team. Speaking of the kitchen, we're big eaters and cook almost three times a day - hello gas stove! What a win, again even during load shedding you can eat and make your meals. Breakfast is an additional add on if you'd prefer not to cook, and it's sufficient to get you going in the morning, paired with amazing filter coffee. There is a dipping pool on site (although shaded), if you're not one for the beach or sand. There is also a small garden area outside which is perfect for morning yoga practice and afternoon siesta's. As our goodbye to Capetown, we've really had a fantastic time here and felt very welcomed and comfortable. Definitely highly recommend in my opinion. Be sure to book early as the hostel does get busy, and if you can't find anything online, give them a call, they're always happy to help where they can. Thanks to the team, it's been amazing. Cee
