Lock in a great price for The Grand Daddy – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

I had the best experience in city center for participating a conference owing to Grand Daddy. Location is the best because so many shops available only within 1-2 minutes, restaurant in the hotel serve the best african/ Western food, staffs were empathetic for our stay. I will stay here if I come Cape Town again.

Great funky concept hotel in the heart of the city. Great location for walking around the shops, bars, and restaurants. Lots of vintage shops and art galleries in the area. Nice rooftop bar. Trendy reception and welcome desk. We didn’t eat at the rooftop but food looked good. Secure onsite parking. Sean the general manage looked after us when I pointed out an issue and delivered above and beyond service.

Kaylee, South Africa

Great location, very enjoyable atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. I recently discovered this hotel and am glad I switched. The comfort levels are good and it is somewhat of a gem in the City Centre.

Peter, South Africa

The most amazing Hotel Experience I have ever had, they helped us with parking and just all round good staff and love the atmosphere around the hotel. Breakfast was amazing and love the sweets on the bed after cleaning the rooms. Love staying here and will defiantly be back again.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Location, great staff, hotel decoration”

Shimon

Israel

“We loved the staff -- they got out of their way to genuinely help us and they were always very friendly and very accommodating. They made our experience wonderful. The interiors of the hotel were awesome of course. The location was close to restaurants, shops and a few mins away from the Waterfront. Easy to find too. Thank you to all the staff at The Grand Daddy!”

Kylee Therese

Philippines

“My husband and I stayed in one of the airstream trailers for three nights at the end of September and loved our stay! The hotel is centrally located and in easy, and safe, walking distance from bars and restaurants. The onsite restaurant and roof top bar are also great choices for nightlife. Staying in the trailer was a unique experience that we loved. The trailer was cozy and comfortable. The staff was delightful and very helpful. Originally we were meant to transfer to a standard room after two nights but loved the trailer so much we decided to stay in the trailer for the third night and the staff made that transition so easy. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Cape Town.”

눉I didn’t have a breakfast selection, they would only let me choose scrambled eggs on toast (the cheapest breakfast on the menu), so I had to pay for my breakfast every day because I didn’t want to eat that (even though my breakfast was supposed to be included), and the restaurant staff aren’t as friendly and helpful as the hotel staff. Also didn’t like that I couldn’t charge anything to my room, I had to pay for it daily.
