Penthouse on Long

At Penthouse on Long you can get the best of both worlds. Explore the heart of the vibrant Long Street, or come home to the hostel where you will be able to relax in our roof top garden, meet fellow backpackers in our TV lounge, or crawl into your individually decorated room for perfect peace and quiet.

A good night's sleep is guaranteed in each of the uniquely decorated dorms; each space is individually treated to quirky design elements and a heady use of colour. Each dorm can cater for all kinds of group sizes and there is also a Nigella Lawson styled kitchen equipped with all the goodies necessary to prepare the ultimate feast before hitting town.

Before starting your night out, relax in the Starting Point Bar and Lounge, while the less-inclined can find some peace inside the reading room. Expect market-leading quality in our rooms and facilities, as well as up-to-date info on many tours, hot spots, and local events. No flaky run-down rooms, no broken and unusable facilities; we provide great facilities and friendly helpful service.

We want to show you the beauty of South Africa, and give you the best possible experience that you could get out of a backpacker hostel. Situated in central Cape Town, the Penthouse is the prefect place to start exploring the many attractions in Cape Town such as curio shops, the football stadium, restaurants, and the Artscape Theatre.
