There is no better way to experience the true nature of a city than by staying in a hostel, and Cape Town backpackers accommodation is no different. While at a hotel you may have access to a mini bar and satellite television, here you can live it up with the locals and soak up a little culture while you're at it.

Although Cape Town is a city by world standards, most Cape Town hostels are located in tourism hotspots and you won't be hard pressed to find a variety of trendy eateries and nightlife venues within walking distance of your accommodation. Similarly, a short taxi ride away you will find a wide selection of beaches, wine farms and other Cape Town attractions that offer various activities at reasonable prices.

There is nothing like enjoying a leisurely breakfast in a sunny courtyard or whiling away lazy afternoons relaxing in the common room or pub. Some Cape Town hostels might even offer internet connections, satellite television or a DVD library. Backpackers in Cape Town normally provide linen and towels, but make sure before you check in, as this in not always the case. The amenities at backpacker venues may differ, so make sure to inquire when you make your reservations.
