2-Star Hotels in Cape Town

I've stayed there a few nights, and return again & again; even contemplating a long stay. The place is clean; the communal kitchen & lounge area is inviting, the in-house pub & adjoining balcony is cosy and gives the feel of a private party, above the bustle of Long Street below. Communal bathrooms are OK, kept clean. I love the many nooks & turns & corners of the old house and the creaking wooden floors. But the guests are what make the place feel like a home away from home -- an eclectic mix of local & foreign visitors passing through the city. There's a feeling & atmosphere of being in a backpackers in a foreign city, somewhere abroad, making one feel as if one is on holiday, somewhere away from home. I love this place! It's become my accommodation of first choice, for a party night or two in 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

Central location, nice building, the rooms is good and bath room ok. Have a storage room to your backpack if arrived early. BUT no kitchen in the building so if you want eat move out and search a restaurant or in here. No fridge, only in reception, but is small and always full. And the stuff all of work different skill and say different: I say before I arrived need a bed the lower level becouse I have a leg injury. One say is no option becouse no left empty bed (have left 4). I ask other one I want if possible transfer me please he say no all is full. I ask the third stuff he is a gentleman, he check me and help to everything: transfer me do the best and that it he do all thing less then 3 minutes. Other 2 don't give me the answer i always know how have a space or no. And no elevator, calculate this.

I spent the night here before an international flight. I found the staff and other guests friendly and respectful of my privacy.The distance was a bit expensive using an Uber but since it was during the peak of the taxi strike, I didn't struggle for transport and it was close enough to Observatory to go grocery and thrift shopping.I was also given the option of transport by the lodge should I struggle to get transport to the airport.Comfortable, quiet lodgings with hot shower.

We loved staying at this backpackers. The vibe was very relaxed and welcoming and the host was friendly and helpful. The backpackers has a nice courtyard and bar which is perfect to for socializing with friends or making new friends from all over the world. I would definitely stay at her again. My only complaint was that there was one tiny dirty spot on the wall above my pillow which looked like someone smeared their snot (which is VERY gross) - hopefully housekeeping picks it up and rectifies the matter. But the rest of the backpackers was very clean.

As a first-timer at a backpackers, Never@Home Kloof Street absolutely blew me away. From the warm welcome tour to the secure storage for my suitcase (so I could explore hands-free), this place really knows how to cater to solo adventurers. The balcony, braai area, and the ever-buzzing bar make sure you’re never short on vibes – even if you’re just popping down for a drink and people-watching. I booked a 4-bed ladies-only dorm with a mountain view and, boy, did they deliver! Imagine stepping into the shower and being greeted by a full-on view of Table Mountain. That’s right – shower views! Each bed has its own lock-up space (bring your own padlocks!) and even a little desk if you’re feeling productive. Seating is a bit scarce outside of your bed, so embrace the lounge life. Can’t wait to come back and “rough it” in style again.
