ONE OF THE WORLD'S 10 COOLEST HOSTELS
"guardian.co.uk (21/08/10)
VOTED AS SOUTH AFRICA'S NO 1 HOSTEL 2010Hostelworld.com
Free internet per person per day - choose either 20MB wi-fi or 30 minutes in our internet cafe
This award winning hostel is South Africa’s original backpacker. Superbly situated in Cape Town with easy access to the city, Table Mountain and the gorgeous beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, It’s super-organized, friendly, fun and home to many a travelling legend. The swimming pool winks at the mountain, the café’s food hits the spot and the barbeques are not to be missed. And, after 20 years of practice they have been taking care of travellers down pat. But these are just some of the reasons why staying at The Backpack is so popular. The rest make it a good idea to book ahead. Like their beautiful Afro-chic rooms. And their encyclopaedic knowledge of travel. Not to mention the regular stuff like their wicked bar, pool table, DSTV, ATM, Wi-Fi, a travel desk and car hire….. This is a great place to ease into your African holiday. Or to plan it. Or to end it. Coast to Coast 2010
