Bohemian Lofts Backpackers, Cape Town

Our backpackers hostel is located at the centre of everything that is happening in Lower Main Road Observatory. Yet, we are just outside the late night pub district.

Our building - a former museum of contemporary art - is stunning. You will love its character, personality, looks and, yes, also it s functionality. Come experience our perfect-for-sunrise-watching and perfect-for-people-watching balcony: There are few streets as interesting as Lower Main Road. And then you may also be fascinated by some of our other building quirks such as our 30 feet high bathroom skylight - Too many to mention.

And we can help you make the most of your stay through a great range of exciting day trips such as to Cape Point, wine tasting, Cape Malay cooking tours (and much more). We can even help you with your onward travel through other parts of South Africa and Africa.

We are within walking distance from Groote Schuur hospital (for visiting docters, interns, nurses and students), near the train station, near the UCT bus route, and about 2 km from the city centre.
