We had a fantastic stay at the Grand Daddy Hotel—such a unique and memorable experience, and we loved every moment of it
Pros:

We had such a wonderful stay at the Grand Daddy Hotel. It truly offers something different from the usual hotel experience, which made our visit feel special and memorable. The atmosphere is unique and full of character, and we really appreciated the creative touches throughout the property.

The rooftop Airstream trailers were a highlight and added a fun, quirky element that you don’t often find elsewhere. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Grand Daddy Hotel to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience. We would happily visit again!

Cons:

There was absolutely nothing we could complain about—not even the noise, as the earplugs provided were a great touch and really made a difference.

Not for cyclists
Pros:

The receptionist was unbelievably efficient and professional.

Cons:

I attended a cycling event where I had an accident. I wasn't able to check out on time, and everything was moved out without any attempt to contact me. And no other guests were awaiting the room, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for cyclists.

Eclectic paradise
Pros:

Not your average 4 star hotel with bright lights, huge foyer and extra modern furniture. What catches your attention is the combination of bright warm colours, friendliness of the staff, the more than a century old elevator (still doing its thing to get you to the top floors) and the number of airstream (caravans) on the roof. The view from here is magnificent and the airstreams are something else. Definitely something to consider next time you are in Cape Town.

Fijne kamer in voor het gevoel onveilige straat
Pros:

De kamer was erg mooi en groot en lekker bed.

Cons:

Ik had balkon geboekt maar dat was geen balkon maar Frans balkonnetje waar je niet op kan zitten. De skybar was ook dicht en de andere bar maar 3 dagen in de week open. De locatie is ook redelijk onveilig.
