It was a little tough showering in the airstream, but we booked it for the experience, not for the luxury. The overall hotel was really nice though. The rooftop was nice, although the bar wasn’t open. The area was a little sketchy at night, so I would rely on a cab if you are returning late at night.

Conveniently located by shops and restaurants/ bars on Long Street, this hotel is clean and really nicely decorated. The breakfast was delicious, the beds super comfy, the bathrooms modern, and the rooms nice and quiet. What really stood out was how thoughtful and helpful the staff were — especially at the front desk. I've stayed here a couple of times now and can't wait to come back next year.

This is a boutique hotel with character. If you need everything totally modern, it might not be for you but I enjoyed it. The room was clean and cozy with no odors. Heath wise, I just did not like the dark carpet in the room. I kept shoes on at all times. They need to upgrade to laminate flooring. The old time elevator was a treat. Breakfast was fantastic. The area is great for walking. I’d stay there again.

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).

This was a last second purchase and was limited by cost so This is a cute hotel in the heart of the CBD, although the location could be considered a bit on the sketch side. Breakfast was include and well made from the onsite restaurant which was a plus. And hotel staff assisted with getting us scheduled on a great tour. Tap water provided. TV only 5 stations. However...

BEWARE potential hotel guest especially if you are in the 2nd story family room - Make sure they do not have an event going on in the \"Rabbit Hole\" event room. They have other event rooms so you could experience the same outrage we had in different rooms depending on your proximity to one of there other event rooms during your stay as we found the hard way.

When the hotel makes an excuse note and gives you earplugs before the event you know it is going to be bad. I mean who does that? I thought I booked a hotel not an admission to a club! Someone had booked a birthday party scheduled till midnight, however the party went on and on and on till 0200+ and with the cheap earplugs the hotel gave us you could still hear the noise from our family room suite. Even when the cheap earplugs were not falling out of you ears you could feel the vibration all night long. So yes after being jetlagged and tired already this was by far the worst sleeping experience me and my family have ever had a hotel. I do not accept there apology and do not have any understanding as how they can treat there paying guest such an ordeal.

I waited five years to book this trip and to stay in the streamline caravans on the roof of this hotel, when we got there, we greeted by the reception who was lovely very happy. The staff were very polite and very friendly. I just don’t think the Management training them properly so it’s not their fault. They were not able to take care of the problem.

We checked into the stream line on the roof. It was fantastic exactly as I remembered it. Our first night was great. This was a very important vacation with my partner.
we went out touring got back at 1 o’clock, and our trailer was at 38°. We had just flown 20 hours and still jet lag. We’re hoping to come back and get a little rest before going out again impossible way too hot. The room has been cleaned in the staff left it like that at 38° why it’s crazy so I spoke to the office. They said they would take care of it. We went out came back home at night and again still 35°. It’s now midnight we have to leave in the morning. I spoke to the downstairs desk after 30 min. He said if we picked all our stuff up, we could move into a room for the night to pack all your stuff at midnight is an absolute mission. I was told the next day that I could’ve left my stuff in the room and just go and spend the night in the new room.All the Management can do was say sorry, it didn’t even offer to buy us a drink. Nothing just empty sorries… when will people realize especially management that sorry is not enough…

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!

We loved our stay and enjoyed our night in the Goldrush immensely.

Great breakfast, good location.

My sister and I stayed here for 6 nights on a recent trip to Cape Town and generally enjoyed our stay.

We arranged an airport pick up through the hotel and he was largely on time for our arrival. The price did change at the last minute though and when I asked why, multiple times, no one at the hotel would give me an answer.

The room itself was good, very spacious. The shower was over a tub which was fine provided no mobility issues. Ours did leak a bit so we'd end up with some water pooling under the sink but we used the bath mat to soak that up. The shower was generally good with good water pressure. However, our final two nights we had no hot water but the first 4 we did, not sure why. Bed was comfortable. We had a fridge, but unlike other reviews ours was not stocked.

We had a drink upstairs at the bar and dinner downstairs, both were good. Be prepared for loud music from the rooftop bar and also level 1 with what they've got happening there. It didn't worry our sleep and I'm not sure what time it stopped but might cause a problem for light sleepers.

The highlight was the breakfast each morning. There was continental style together with a la carte. Odwa in the breakfast room was a ray of sunshine each morning and by day 3 she had our drink orders ready before we'd even ordered. Food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast staff should be comended.

Waterfront is easy to walk to in daylight, as is Kloof St & Bo Kapp.

I'd stay again

Airstream Problems

This was our second night in the hotel. We decided to rent an Airstream on the roof because it would be fun and different. We rented the small Bambi trailer with the outside bath. The first issue was the outer door to the Airstream wouldn't lock, so people could come into our bathroom when we weren't inside the trailer. That wasn't a big deal. The problem we had on the 2nd floor room was no internet and construction noise. The internet worked great in the Airstream because the bar is upstairs. So, upon going to bed, one side of the bed was all wet. I assumed it was from the AC. I told the staff and they did relocate us to a room on the 3rd floor because they couldn't find the key to the other vacant Airstream. The room on the 3rd floor was nice and roomy. I did ask for a partial refund because we had issues with both our nights staying here. The reception said they were going to speak with the manager and get back to me. That was 6 hours ago and I haven't received a response. Again, its a cool hotel but it needs to be managed better

We stayed at the “winelands” camper on the rooftop — so fun! Enjoyed the free breakfast which was topnotch. The cocktails were unique & delicious. One night we had an authentic South African Braai or bbq prepared by the chef — we grilled in front of our camper trailer. It is safe & close to everything.

The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The rooftop bar is super cool and Ben, the bartender, is the best. The food at Thirty Ate is very good.

This was my first time out of country by myself and I must say, my stay at the GrandDaddy was a wonderful experience. It was well-cleaned, with friendly staff and a charming aesthetic, and to top it all off, the free breakfast was restaurant quality. I would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting to get the urban Cape Town experience. The only thing I would recommend noting is the area surrounding it. Given that it sits right in the middle of the entertainment district, the streets after dark are a bit sketchy. But other than that, it was a wonderful experience.

Loved our stay at Grand Daddy hotel. It’s small and very unique. The restaurant downstairs was great. The free breakfast was amazing. Loved the rooftop bar and being surrounded by airstreams up there. Very unique place. All the staff were so friendly.

There are many \"International\" hotels in Cape Town which are of a good standard but maybe a bit bland. Grand Daddy is not one of these. It is clean and has the usual things you expect in a 4 Star Hotel but where it excels is in the personality and friendliness of its Staff, the old fashioned atmosphere and general vibe of the hotel. So, if you want something different from the norm, give them a try. Special mention for the good breakfast and coffee.

I booked a room with a courtyard view but when U arrived to the hotel I was told by the front desk supervisor “Oh, I noticed that but we don’t have a courtyard.” When this error was first noticed, the staff should’ve contacted. Instead they attempted to put me in a room without a window. After spending an hour explaining why their inaccurate listing was not my fault, they at least put me in a room with a window although it still did not have a courtyard view.

The property is right on the main street. It’s nice and had a restaurant connected to it. The rooms are nice as well, especially given the age of the place. The staff were extremely nice and helpful. They have some recommendations on things to do as well. When I had to abruptly get another room during my visit (an unrelated friend dispute) and was running low on time (had to get to a pickup point for a tour), the staff helped me out and stored my bags in another room until I booked a room! In the US, no hotel would’ve done that. They have top tier service, and that is greatly appreciated. I hope to come back one day.

Hotel was in good location. Little sketchy around though. Staff was great. Room was big and good for the price. However, had tv difficulties. Only had cable 2 days out of the 6. Kept reporting the issue but couldnt get fixed. Food at the restaurant was good. Rooftop cute.
