Simply a great place. Stayed in one of the double rooms and it felt more like a hotel room rather than a backpackers. The shared showers and bathroom where always clean, very big. The free morning breakfast was basic but having breakfast inculded was just another benefit. Awesome atmosphere, you arrive not knowing anyone and leave after a few days... More

The Atlantic Point Backpackers was very clean, had nice bathrooms and nice areas for relaxing. The security was good. The breakfast, that was free, was just toast, cereal and fruit. The bar area was way less popular than those at other backpackers... If your looking for a nice, safe, clean place a little ways away from the Long St. action,... More

Atlantic Point is IT! After travelling the Garden Route this was the perfect place to settle down for a few days. Our room was amazing. Managers and receptionists are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable from the very first minute. The housekeeping staff is so warm-hearted and always willing to help. A lovely breakfast rich in variety is included... More

My sister and I stayed in this backpackers last weekend. The lodge was wonderfully furnished, conveniently located, clean and hospitable backpackers in CPT. At the lodge the individuals assisted with booking trips and things to do in CPT. They allowed us to leave our bags at the lodge as we arrived many hours before our check in time. The same... More

We found Atlantic Point well priced, clean and well organised. It is close to restaurants and a short walk from the V&A Waterfront (lots of shops and restaurants, harbour cruises etc). The staff were also very helpful. I would recommend it for a short and inexpensive stay.

Ap is by far the nicest hostel in the city. It's got an awesome vibe and really friendly staff, the rooms are great, and I've never seen a hostel as clean as this one. I stayed in the female dorm which was awesome, it had a big bathroom on suite and it was great to have one that's just for... More

I love this place!! Great staff and the comfiest beds, best nights sleep I have ever had in a hostel. Dorm rooms are so much nicer than any I have stayed in before and as a girl it's really nice to be able to opt for a girls only dorm. Double rooms are also really beautifully decorates and comfy, definitely... More

I stayed in Cape Town for two weeks, and picked this one for the last few nights of my stay. The beds (mattresses) are unbelievably comfortable. The whole place feels clean. It's the most well-equipped kitchen I've yet to encounter in a hostel. The kitchen is clean and has two separate stovetops so you aren't fighting with others for them... More

This is my first hostel experience so I can't even compare it to another hostel. The accommodations are exactly as pictured. The beds and bedding were quite comfortable. I stayed in the all female dorm and had a top bunk and had no issues. I enjoyed the private bathroom in the female dorm, but would probably enjoy the four person... More
