Once Travel Information

Once Travel has grown into a travel and lifestyle brand where we are defined and inspired by our people - the inclusive and diverse Once A-team - who are passionate about showcasing the beautiful cities they live in. 'Once in Cape Town' opened its' doors in 2013 a hybrid hotel model, that straddles the line between three star boutique hotel and the most vibrant backpackers hostel you’ve ever stayed at. We bring out the best elements of these two accommodation types. Our team are city ambassadors who share their knowledge and experience with guests to create that "Once in a Lifetime" experience in the city of gold. Once in Cape Town has won numerous international and national awards. At the end of 2017 it received the award for best 4 star backpackers in South Africa. It is centrally located on the vibrant Kloof Street and within walking distance of a variety of green parks, up-market restaurants, bars, fashion boutiques, grocery stores and the famous Long Street. Our on-site restaurant and bar is one of Cape Town’s local institutions. Greenery hangs down from every angle, delicious craft beer is on tap and fresh local beats are played daily by resident DJs until 12am. Whether you’re in need of a coffee, meal, good conversation or just a good dance, Yours Truly, is where you’ll find it.
