Great location, basic but very clean, amenities like hairdryers are available from the check-in desk, great coffee and breakfast buns, comfy bed, great shower, decent beer, and really helpful and friendly staff. Even has a nice balcony to sit with your coffee and watch the people walk on Long Street. I’d stay here again!

Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel is conveniently located in downtown Cape Town, providing easy walking access to many popular sites, great restaurants, parks, museums, night life, and popular tour buses around the Cape Town area and beyond. The hotel is very clean, the staff incredibly helpful, friendly, and available in person 24 hours a day. I thoroughly enjoyed this charming hotel.

Great place to stay

Very friendly staff who carried my bag upstairs to the room as no lifts.
The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious with a desk and chair, hanging space and I loved the arty decor in the room. It was very quiet. Tea, coffee and jug in the room but also free coffee and fresh muffin each morning for breakfast in lounge area near reception. Free choice of a beer, wine or cider from the bar on arrival was great too. I found the location great with the Hop on hop off sightseeing bus stop in Long Street too just a couple of blocks away, also the starting point for 2 free walking tours. I felt safe in the area.

I had a great experience at this property, mostly due to the wonderful staff who went above and beyond at every turn.

My bathroom shower could have been cleaner and the pillows weren’t the most comfortable but the room was spacious and the decor was creative.

Be cautious walking around the area at night but there are plenty of great options for food, coffee and drinks within a few minutes walk.

It's ok

Generally a nice enough hotel at a reasonable price. Sound carries a lot though, and I was woken up multiple times through the night as people walked down the hallway or were chatting downstairs. Because of this, I probably wouldn't stay again.

Bear in mind there is no elevator, so you may have to carry your luggage up a couple of flights of stairs.

Hi, my stay at your hotel was very pleasing except the fact that I had to get up at 04:16 to complain about the noise levels. Also would you consider equipping your rooms with microwave, bar fridge and tv? I was in Beingmak1

No elevator ☹️

All was good except no elevators. We each had two 50 lb. bags as we were coming off what was suppose to be a four month sea voyage. Hotel personnel did lug our biggest bags but three flights with a nearly 50 lb back pack was brutal. If that is on the web site we did not see it and would have stayed elsewhere. That said other wise it was great.

Good value hotel in Central location

Comfortable, affordable hotel in long st. Nice hotel, good service, arty room.
Long st is noisy however and with the window open kept me awake at night. Also, the road feels a little bit dangerous to walk down at night.
Really convenient location though.

It was such a pleasure stay at Daddy long legs. Location is superb and I felt completely safe when inside the hotel even though Long street is known to be sketchy . It should be fine walking around during the day, just a walking distance to bo Kaap. Read reviews that it can noisy at night because of the parties but I never had a problem and slept well thru sat night . I would definitely come back again if I’m visiting capetown the next time .

Clean and convenient

Clean hotel and clean quirky themed rooms. Convenient location on the quiet end of Long Street. 1 bkock makes all the difference. One block to the right and you wont sleep because of the music and street noise.

Tons of reataurants around. Walking distance to lot of sights. Fly safe in the ara even at 3am, as area patrolled by police and lots of security or whatwver yellow vested watchers are called.

Very nice and unique

The hotel is unique. It has personalized rooms. Every room is different and very especial decorated . They give you a welcome drink. The reception guys are very friendly. Your are located in the main downtownl l, but at night has too much night life. Out side are many bars, discos restaurants. Is not nice for kids . South Africa is not a safety place eventhou i didn't have any issue, but every body tell you to be be careful. you need to be aware about your money and important stuffs. Leave your stuff in your hotel. I will go again to this hotel.

Affordable, funky Cape Town hotel

A lovely boutique hotel in the quiet end of Cape Town’s clubby Long Street. Each room is a themed art project. I can only comment on my room called the Fresh room named after a candy mint, sixth night tables with the cand mint sealed in it.
The staff is very helpful, they welcome you with a drink, and you step outside the hotel to a bustling and interesting part of the city. As a woman travelling alone I felt safe in the area returning to the hotel after dinner. Well priced, quirky and I would stray again.

One night stay in Cape Town.

Stayed here for just one night before our flight home.
We were put in the Emergancy Room, which was strange, but we liked it.
Great location on Long Street with many places close by to drink and eat.
Very good place for breakfast 1 minuite walk away.
It would have been nice to have a fridge.

Great value and cheerful

The Daddy Long Legs Art hotel is esoteric to say the least, but a very cheerful hotel with all the amenities that one would expect. It does not provide off-street parking, but if you arrive after 20:00 there should be a lot of parking in the well-lit street. It provides great value for money, and the unique decoration in every room makes for a fascinating stay.
