⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Fabulous Stay at The Big Luxury Backpackers! We recently stayed at The Big Luxury Backpackers in Cape Town, and what an unforgettable experience it was! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and spaciousness of the place. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, giving it a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The rooms and communal areas are spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff. Every single person we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to help. They went above and beyond to make our stay special and were always on hand with fantastic recommendations. If you're looking for a beautiful, comfortable, and friendly place to stay in Cape Town, The Big Luxury Backpackers is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful staff. I fell ill during my stay, but I felt like I was resting at home because they genuinely cared for me. Special thanks to Prim and John. The area is safe and the security is robust. I would highly recommend this place for solo travellers.
