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.

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.

My friend and I had a good stay. The staff were the best part. Starting from the front desk, to the kitchen staff, and housekeeping. Everyone was kind and accommodating. Our front desk person that checked us in, Patou, was superb. We appreciated all of his help. The location is fine and walkable. It’s a convenient location I think. Our room was clean and loved the little patio we had, even though we didn’t use it much. The breakfast included was great. Again, the kitchen staff were lovely. The rooftop was cool and I wished we hung out there more. Overall, I’d recommend this hotel.

Restful stay!

Excellent stay! We initially booked an airstream, which turned out to be quite cramped and the hot water didn’t work. There was also a rooftop party going on, so we called and requested to move to a proper room. The front desk staff accommodated us immediately, which was wonderful. The room was beautiful and quiet, and we got an amazing night’s sleep. Great service!
