I chose the Grand Daddy for the convenience of location and it's overall heritage/funky vibe. As it was our first visit to Cape Town, we were unaware of how "lively" Long Street is! Unfortunately, there was also a party within the hotel on the night we had a 4:30 am flight. I assume this happens often as earplugs were left in the room. If you are interested in the party scene, this is the place to be. The staff was wonderful, the Hotel was very clean and our room itself was comfortable. Breakfast included was very nice and there were no issues with the wifi.

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).

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!
