Not enough TV chanel choices.

The breakfast was enjoyable and enough. I was happy to see all the police presence in the streets.

I wish we'd gotten a warning about the rooftop parties on Friday and Saturday evening. Though they finished around 11pm, staying in room 314 meant the sound ended up amplified even with the windows closed. The bathroom door also didn't close properly.

The location was fantastic, everything was in walking distance. The free breakfast was delicious.

The bathroom "door". A sliding door that did not fit in the door frame and got stuck. Like being on a toilet "next to" the bed.

Great location Great staff

Noise from discotheque next door playing very loud music until early morning. One Saturday night, party hosted by non-hotel guests with extreme loud music vibrating in the rooms Had the worst rump steak ever in SA. It was like it was defrosted, fried and served. The manager did apologize and compensated it with free dessert.

Very nice hotel Very nice rooms Beautifully decorated Amazing rooftop Very friendly and helpful staff

No Power outlets next to the bed. The room did not have city view, just an internal yard.

There was a strange smell in the bathroom

Nice location, nice personal, nice rooftop

Loud music was prevalent from neighbouring venues in the front rooms on Long Street. I would suggest booking rooms at the back of the hotel to reduce this disturbance that can go to 2am.

The on site restaurant made it easy for meals during the evening to eliminate venturing out at night which may have been unsafe.

Nothing really. Maybe someone that could help with the lugage however we didn't ask

The lobby, rooftop and hallways have special, artistic touch.

Noise from street, local South Africans using restaurant as their office and to do business and make business calls.

Decent selection of food options and staff eager to ensure you got what you wanted.

The coffee machine was not working so we could not have cappuccino etc, only filter coffee, it was nice coffee though so no complaints.

I had an omlette, it was very good, the service was good as well.

The hotel was good but more for a younger group. It is set in a vibey site and atmosphere was loud right through to 6h00 in the morning.

Restaurant was excellent, food was good and always fresh and hot. Staff excellent

Quirky hotel ideally located for a city centre stay. Staff were awesome. Rooms are great but some have no natural light. This didn’t bother us though. Rooftop bar is amazing!

One thing to note is that the street can get quite lively at night due to the many bars and clubs in the area, which may result in some noise. Additionally, it’s important to stay cautious while walking in the evening as there can be interactions with homeless individuals, which might feel uncomfortable at times. Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic, and I would still highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Cape Town!

I had an amazing stay at the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel! The location is absolutely strategic, right in the heart of Cape Town, making it easy to explore the city’s main attractions. The hotel offers great value for money, with its unique design and comfortable accommodations. A special mention goes to the staff – they were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request. Their exceptional service truly made my experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cape Town!

Area is incredibly noisy - from clubs, to cars backfiring - did not really get a good night’s sleep. However we did spend a Saturday night there, so maybe not the best decision on our side. We are tall - all in excess on 1.7m - beds could not accommodate us all. Room rates the same as some 5 star hotels near by with historic luxurious feel and soundproof rooms. Great for 1 night.

A truly unique stay - I have never slept in a camper/ trailer. Beautifully made up and functional.

The room was way too small for the price

For our first night in Cape Town, we picked this centrally located hotel which made it easy to walk to nearby attractions and areas of interest. The antique elevator and quirky decor gave me strong Alice in Wonderland vibes as if I had stepped right into a fairytale. Our room overlooked Long Street which remained busy till late but in spite of the traffic, we managed to sleep soundly. Breakfast was generous servings of scrambled eggs, mushrooms, toast and fresh coffee while we could help ourselves to blueberry pancakes, muffins, yogurt and fruit on the side. All rooftop trailers were fully booked when we were making our reservation but we hope to stay in one of those designer accommodation on our next visit to The Grand Daddy.
