“Our stay at this hotel was a truly unique experience. The location is perfect – right in the very centre of the city, which made it easy to explore everything nearby.
The rooms are set in special Airstreams on the rooftop, which I such an interesting and original concept. It made our stay even more memorable.
The breakfasts were very good, with a nice selection to start the day. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, always taking great care of our comfort and safety. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel”
“Wow! Such an incredible place to stay! We were first greeted by such kind staff and received very thorough information! Then took the original style elevator up to our room! Such an incredible touch to really enhance the style of the hotel. The rooms were clean and very comfortable beds. There are a few clubs in the area, as well as a rooftop bar at the hotel, but the solid wood doors make it so you can’t hear anything while in your room. I highly recommend staying here for your Cape Town visit”
“Amazing room, very helpful and friendly staff, the hotel décor was so cool, included breakfast was so good, shout out to the avocado toast with poached eggs and cereal with yoghurt! The city tour bus station was a few feet from the hotel, so convenient to take tours”
“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 quiet. 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 on of the airstreams on the rooftop”
