The 4 Best Hostels in Cape Town (Updated 2025)

"Tucked away in the leafy suburb of Gardens, this quieter, small hostel still makes it easy to meet other travelers while offering a more peaceful stay; it has an outdoor pool, a shared kitchen, and an on-site café that opens for breakfast and reopens as a bar at night. I appreciated the thick mattresses, plenty of plugs and USB ports, and modern bathrooms with really nice high-pressure showers, which are a big plus in my book." - Matthew Kepnes
