Forty8 Backpackers Hotel Reviews

PROS: -Location was great- around the corner from Long Street but far enough away that it was not too noisy -Staff was friendly and helpful -The rooms were clean and mattresses were pretty comfy CONS: -Did not have a computer available to use the internet -Did not love the shower situation- think gym locker room. You had to change clothes outside of the shower to prevent getting them wet so there was little privacy -Would be nice to have a bar area to socialize in

very nice hostel will stay there again, exept very noisy outside the hostel, because of the guys moving the markets stand around. otherwise staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Owned and run by some of the most lovely people I met in South Africa! When I'm back in Africa, I'll work out a way of swinging by for a bit longer! Dan.

Although the website states \"parking\" for this hostel, there is nothing but ordinary street parking, which can be quite hard to find og expensive over time, in downtown Cape Town, where the hostal is located. When we realized this, however, the manager was kind enough to refund the deposit for our booking, such that we could find a new place to stay, WITH parking.
