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.

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.

Great hotel downtown

The hotel was awesome. Breakfast had a wide selection, and the coffee was great. Very friendly staff. It was centrally located but a bit of a walk from the Waterfront because of the way the streets are laid out. Overall, definitely a top 10% for me.

Gem in the Centre of Town!

The Staff at Grand Daddy Hotel are so welcoming, friendly and helpful! The little hotel is a beautiful gem in the centre of town and close to some great eat-out places, Artscape, and so on. The rooftop is something else and the attention to detail is special. The breakfast was truly amazing!

I love the vintage feel of the place!

I’ve always wanted to stay in an airstream caravan on top of the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel and then my dream finally came true after completing an 8 week crossing from Japan to Cape Town on an overnight expedition vessel. We loved our stay and enjoyed our night in the Goldrush immensely. My boyfriend says you’ve gotta love a hotel room with an en-suite bar, referring to the roof top bar which will keep you well watered and pickled ! The staff are all extremely friendly and I quite like the vintage feel of the place.
