Visão geral
The Backpack is a luxury backpackers of note in Cape Town, straddling the line between hostel and hotel with its dignity intact. In a superb location right on the fringe of the city centre. The pool is huge, the food is good, the activities are many, the staff are friendly, the location is central - and The Backpack is popular, so book ahead.
Facilities include a travel centre, a cafe, a swimming pool, guarded parking, safes, luggage storage, a community shop, a self-catering kitchen, a washing and laundry facility and Wi-Fi access
They also focus on uplifting staff and community; commitment towards transparency, high-level standards and profit sharing for the majority of staff.
Community involvement is a core feature of The Backpack’s ethos whereby it has helped to build a crèche in a local informal settlement, financed from commissions earned by selling a cultural tour to the townships; positive and proactive attitude to working with staff affected by HIV/Aids.
