§ 01 — Summary

A party-focused hostel directly on Long Street in the City Centre, 300 metres from Company's Garden, with a bar stocked with board games, billiards and a ping pong table, plus dorm, single, double and twin rooms.

§ 02 — The full story

Long Street Backpackers puts guests on the single busiest strip in Cape Town's nightlife, with the bars and clubs of Long Street outside the front door and Company's Garden 300 metres away. The in-house bar runs its own scene with free board games, a console, billiards and ping pong, so the night can happen without ever stepping outside. Rooms cover dorm, single, double and twin configurations, all sharing bathrooms, with a communal kitchen and lounge for the daytime lull before the street wakes up again. A sun terrace with an outdoor fireplace adds a quieter option for the early evening. Table Mountain is 3.8 kilometres off, reachable by the tour desk's arranged transport rather than a long walk, and the airport sits a further 21 kilometres beyond that.
