Long Street Backpackers

Everything

Best backpackers in the CBD area by far.

Place is honestly the perfect backpackers. No dislikes.

Sehr nette Menschen, die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und es gibt sogar einen Pizzaofen, es wird viel an Aktivitäten angeboten

Die Gegend ist schon wirklich laut nachts, man kann nur draußen essen (auch bei Regen), es wird relativ viel Cannabis konsumiert und das riecht man auch

I had a pleasant stay. Clean and well maintained facilities.

Newly revamped look felt like Greece.

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is not even a word long enough to describe the excellent service, friendly and so helpful staff at this Backpackers Lounge I loved their attentive manners and their attention to detail when they assist with matters at hand. The communication from them is clear and the place is central in walking distance of everything and anything.

Tive uma estadia longa e minha experiência foi excelente. O hostel é muito limpo e organizado, com cozinha bem equipada, ótima sala de descanso e um espaço de home office que atendeu perfeitamente às minhas necessidades. A localização no centro da cidade também foi um grande diferencial. Os funcionários são maravilhosos: educados, gentis e extremamente prestativos. Recomendo muito e, com certeza, voltaria a me hospedar aqui!

Friendly staff and always willing to assist. Both lady and gentleman very professional.

The window could not close properly. The inside door also could not close. Had to use my bad so people passing could not see me.

Really friendly staff, comfy clean beds. Would recommend.

Vibrant atmosphere

LOCATION

BATHROOM

The management and overall staff are friendly, courteous and approachable . The kitchen is always clean. Hygiene is the number one priority in this establishment. The hostel is at a good location that is close to all amenities - it’s closer to some of the popular malls & eateries. They also have activities planned every day mostly for youngsters. I just wish that music would be loud only on week-ends, staring from Friday - of course. They’re currently busy with renovations. This goes to show that they’re serious about taking good care of their patrons - it’s also the reason why they’re going to be always among the best in hostel category. It’s a niche that caters for a specific client base in that it’s the best of both worlds in accommodation because you get to cook; order take-out - your choice. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this establishment.

Loud music almost every day, I wish they can tone it down

Facilities to be maintained

Tidiness

The bar also that Long street is pumping so hard .

The wifi quality was little bit poor.

The professional service that I was offered to me by the manager especially change of my room. All staffs rendered the professional service like I am the only client in the building.

The staff were amazing.

The shower spills on the floor, messing up the entire bathroom.

Everything from the location to the staff and the great food, beer and the people I met and for that price

That I couldn't stay longer

: "The place is 👌 very clean. On the first day, I was afraid of how I would share with people I didn't know, but in the end, I felt right at home and even extended my stay for more days♥️ . All the staff members there are always in a good mood🙏

Great

Nothing I can think of

The evening events! Like Karaoke night.

The place is very clean all staff are frendly.🔥🔥🔥🔥

central location which makes life every easy in terms of transoort and stores. Really had a good time there and the fact that there are activities inside even a braai day, ohh amazing.

l think its good for the cleaners to always knock before opening the door.

Omg everything is so nice

Stayed over a month at a Long Street backpackers and the location really makes everything easy. Food rating: 7.5–8/10 — you’ve got solid options like Tiger’s Milk Long Street, Obi Restaurant, Lola’s Eatery, and local flavour at Mama Africa. Quick bites like Shawarma House are everywhere too. What really stands out is how close you are to everything. You can walk to Greenmarket Square, explore the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap, or relax in Company’s Garden. A short trip gets you to bigger attractions like V&A Waterfront and even Table Mountain. Then at night, Long Street comes alive — bars, music, and a constant buzz right outside your door. Simple, central, and a great base if you want Cape Town at your doorstep.

Close to everything

My biggest mistake was thinking it was a good idea booking 7 nights at LSB. Nowhere in the property description is there any warning saying that I would end up extending my stay for another 2 months. I'm truly disappointed in the staff for not mentioning this. I almost chose not to leave and permanently move in. I met so many amazing people that became great friends, and so many great friends that became family. LSB is more than a hostel, and 1 or 2 nights is not nearly enough to fully experience it. I will however advise anyone planning on booking in to start hydrating a week before arriving at the property. Also make sure you get some extra sleep in before arriving. The beds are amazing and the rooms are perfect but after arriving you might not want to use them. The staff are really cool as well. Yvan checked me in with a warm welcome and showed me around the property, he's a really cool dude. I'd say watch out for Shaq's jokes, they can catch you off guard if you're not focused - if you need any info or assistance he's your guy. Always willing to assist and help in any way he can. I'd say watch out for Jordan at the bar - he makes the best cocktails, works the DJ booth(White Coffee) and if you catch him after shift you might just have the best time of your life. Tate is an energy ball, always making everyone feel welcome and organizing events which suit everyone. If you want a free drink from him just say "Put VOLUM". The location is great - It's in the heart of Long Street and walking distance from everything including bars, clubs, restaurants, gyms, parks and clothing stores. My time at LSB was definitely worth remembering. I would've gone more often I knew about it earlier.

N/A

Didn't book for breakfast Accommodation only.

Bathroom was without clip/lid to prevent water. I used toilet paper to prevent water from leaking while bathing 🛁.

Safety

Noisy, music until early hours of the morning

It was a new experience for me, first time sharing communal spaces with people I do not know.

N/A

The staff was friendly and helpful.

There were coachroaches so that means cleanliness is a problem. The facilities can do with an upgrade, showers dont have a glass or curtain around them which is a turn off.

It’s central. Close to everything

I spotted a few roaches in the 4 sleeper room

Everthing

Nothing

It is perfectly located in Lonng street. you can easily walk to anywhere else

This hostel nailed the one thing that matters most: the vibe. It is almost impossible not to get pulled into group dinners, bar events, sunsets, and late-night chats in the common area. You can't fake a community like this. If you're traveling solo and want to feel like you instantly have a crew, this is the spot.

Everything

The location was busy especially with the clubs at night but it was safe walking around.

I liked everything about it.

Friendly staff from cleaners to admin.

To be honest there is nothing that I didn't like

The hostel is well maintained and comfortable. The staff are friendly and extremely accommodating. The bar is lively amd hosts a variety of activities throughout the week. The communal kitchen is well looked after and cleaned daily. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The hostel hosts activities around Cape Town that are entertaining and affordable.

Nice vibe, good people, security, and lots of fun activities

Lol....me keeping on extending my stay !!! Cause this question has become now irrelevant to me...

Excellent Service, feels like a community

There is really nothing I didn't like

位置很好，如果想要交朋友非常合适，很多外国朋友一起吃饭聊天喝酒，每天晚上都有活动，晚上是酒吧可以喝一杯，厨房非常好工具齐全，都可以做饭，员工热情每天都会打扫卫生

浴室排水比较慢，会泡脚，厕所白天看不出来，晚上一堆虫子和蟑螂出来了，所以房间角落也藏着虫子，睡觉很怕爬到床上，房间储物柜也有蟑螂，就是酒吧在一起晚上会比较吵闹，房间充电口几个都有问题， 然后没有2孔插，只有3孔圆插头

I liked the staff members. They were so wonderful. I am coming back in May and would love to be housed there again.

Very social place, good kitchen and cooking opportunities Super lovely Staff Super sweet sitting area in the courtyard with nice plants

Cockroach in room but they have been removed and we got another room Very busy (not the safest) neighbourhood and party area, so it is always loud

Awesome vibes! They get everyone involved in activities, great facilities. Always somewhere to hang out alone or someone to chat to. Good location too. Clean, good kitchen and bar

A bit loud, but it is on Long Street so that’s how it is

Location . Vibe , the staff all great.

Cockraches a lot.
