6/10 Good

Very friendly staff. Room was basic and needed a bit of tlc to be honest. Comfortable but a maximum if 3 star accomodation. Breakfast good but slow service. They advertise a roof top bar but during our entire stay it was booked for private parties and thus inaccessible for all but one night
Don’t rely on being able to use the roof top bar. If there’s a private function it’s closed to guests!

What a cute property. Wonderful location for walking around to restaurants and downtown.

Amazing room, very helpful and friendly staff, the hotel decor was so cool, included breakfast was so good, shout out to the avocado toast with poached eggs and cereal with yogurt! The city tour bus station was a few feet from the hotel, so convenient to take tours!

The Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel is a jewel amongst the Victorian buildings on Long Street. The stylish rooms, hipster, rooftop bar scene, and incredibly friendly staff make this hotel a must-stay when I'm in Cape Town.

They sent an email that we would receive a complementary upgrade. Upon arrival we receive it with a room with no view, Std room...Also were not told in advance of R100 parking fee. It was a surprise when we left.

I enjoyed my stay at the Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was delicious and again, very nice staff on-site. The room was clean, comfortable, and quite. Plus, the hotel had great Wi-Fi all over, which I needed for work. Next time I come to Cape Town, I will stay here again but try one of the airstreams on the rooftop.

Nice and very reasonable!

Our room had no windows except to elevator shaft. No natural light is a downer. I wish I’d known this could happen!

What a blast staying in a camper - so fun and whimsical staff were lovely - breakfast was great - wonderful way to end my trip / long street is its own beast so always think about travelling in. And out safely but long street is also very central and great for food and shopping
Seth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value for money

We’ve stayed at this hotel about two years ago then we stayed in one of the roof top airstreamers this time we booked a larger room with king size bed. The room was smaller than advertised with a cramped bathroom. This said this is a great location near bokap and waterfront at a great price.
