6/10 Good

The staff were wonderful and kind. But the property is old — our room smelled badly of mold. The area also wasn’t the safest and we didn’t feel comfortable walking around at night (they also have to lock the door to the hotel and you have to buzz in which makes it difficult when arriving later in the evening).

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!

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.

Airtstream on rooftop was great. Paid R1300 for a bottle of whiskey when bar closed. Drank half of it and left it outside on table just outside of our room. Next morning it was gone. Asked them about it and even seen it back in the bar they accused other people of stealing it.
