Cape Town South Africa Backpack

This is a picture of one of the hostels where I stayed. This one is the better of the two. That didn’t mean I stayed there after two nights. I didn’t. I left for 3 reasons: (1) the noise was bad at night; (2) the room cost was relatively high; and (3) the internet was not free. I cut my cost by more than half by moving one block. The cost went from $28 to $12.50. It was still noisy at night but the cost has much more reasonable and the internet was free and it was fast enough. I believe that I could have moved to a larger dorm room (more beds) and cut the cost down to about $15 at this hostel, The Backpack, if I had tried to do so. I think I would have stayed at The Backpack had they done something about the noise because it was a very modern and clean hostel. I didn’t complain. I’ve complained about noise at hostels before and it never did any good. Now, I just move on to one where I hope will be less noisy.
