    Good location to get around but dodgy area outside. They have new and old rooms. Rooftop was super chill and well priced bar, cheaper than anywhere else. Dinners were good and well priced. The chef always hooked it up! Breakfast included is average but it's there. Facilities were nice. Staff was cool and friendly, helpful.

    This is the perfect place to stay in Cape town if you want to meet people and have fun. It's clean. The staff is really nice and do everything they can for you to have a good time. There is also a big terrace with a nice view and a bar. I had the best time there!

    The best backpackers in South Africa bar none. Extremely vibrant and positive energy, fantastic people, and all around good vibes. You'll fall in love with everyone, as they become your family. Definitely recommend to everyone. (wish I could give 100/5 stars)

    I stayed here in 2017, and I remember it so fondly that I'll share my experiences. The rooftop terrace is the best feature, since it offers city and mountain views (pic attached). The bar is great, and the complimentary breakfast is ample. The location is pretty good; there are many shops and restaurants nearby. The staff is so friendly, and I felt right at home. Thank you so much for this experience! I know where I'll stay next time.

    Our beloved Homebase Cpt Backpackers is not longer open, we closed down in 2019 .

    Great experience. Stayed in the hostel for 5 nights and loved the at home feeling provided by the staff members. Would not have changed it for another hostel. Always clean and safe and it is a good, yet walking distance, from the happenings of Long Street. I definitely recommend HomeBase for anyone looking for accommodation in a prime location in Cape Town.

    The most best experience in cape town. Best staff workers with best attitudes and full assistance provided it suits their job description. Not forgetting the hostel managers work best to accommodate and make guests feel comfortable and feel they belong

    Very good for a backpackers. Professional, efficient staff. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Good security measures, so you feel safe despite being in the heart of the Mother City. Nice view from the balcony.

    Home away from home. There is no place like HomeBase. Welcomed by friendly helpful staff into a clean homely environment. Well located in close proximity to tourist attraction, restaurants bars, transport etc on the ever lively Long street. If you want to relax, just chill on the rooftop n enjoy a cold beer or wine from the bar while watching the Sun disappear behind the Lion's Head...

    The best home for our holiday in Capetown. Friendly staff and cleverly themed rooms, my favorite is the Bob Marley suite. Absolutely lovely view of Lions head🦁. Makes for breath taking sunsets perfect for sharing a beer with some mates.

    Location is really good, close to long street. Staff is super nice, rooms are clean, there is a lot of common space including a very nice balcony. It's also cheap, so in general a good choice for a hostel

    Convenient location, great value for money. Very friendly people, helpful and friendly staff. Only one complaint was that our room window on the outside had heaps of bird poop but other than that, everything was really good!

😠 What a shocking experience. Went there on Sunday evening, the service and food was nothing short of laughable. We had to ask to order twice, ordered our drinks 15 minutes before the food and yet the drinks only came with the food after more than half an hour after we ordered the food. The worst par...
