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.

Wow! Such a unique 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 is 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! Huge points for that! A lot of hotels are so cheaply made or renovated. The staff went above and beyond to make me a special tea that wasn’t on the menus and I was so appreciative! They did a really great job decorating and redoing this old building into a hotel! Highly recommend staying here for your Cape Town visit!

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.
