Expect free WiFi, kitchenettes or full kitchens, and easy access to public transport. A typical budget for these stays is between $40 and $90 per night, depending on the season.
For affordable stays with a local feel, consider the Mojo Hotel & Market, a 2-minute walk from the beach with a rooftop terrace and bike hire.

For a simple, no-frills option, Inn & Out Express Sea Point provides private rooms and a 24-hour front desk. Note that parking may be paid, and airport shuttles are available at an extra cost. Book early for summer months, as budget rooms sell out fast.
