33 South

I was lucky to have a fellow traveler recommend 33 South Backpackers to me. It is in the Observatory neighborhood of Cape Town, which has the best vibe of any area I visited. I spent a night at several other backpackers, but always came back here. It's small, and so much more personal. I actually had dinner and went dancing with the employees and other people staying there. Check out the video of "Creative Night". Good times!
When you visit, be sure the check out A Touch of Madness, just around the corner. They have amazing food, and a poetry slam every Monday night.
