The staff were fantastic and seemed to take great in working for the Grand Daddy!

Jackgk, South Africa

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, Philippines

Location was great and the staff were very good. The barmen on the trailer park bar made us very good gin and tonics.

Nicn0x, Netherlands

The location is very central, close to everything, busy streets, nice cafes. The hotel has very cool decoration throughout the house. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They took care of parking for us which was very convenient. The airstream trailer rooms have everything you need and are clean and comfortable. It‘s nice to sit outside the trailer after you come back from dinner and enjoy the evening mood of the city.

Bea, Switzerland

Incredible hotel will be definitely back soon . Thank you to the team and a special thank to Mike !!

Julien, France

We arrived after our very long flight at around 8am, and they managed to get us a room ready to check in early. Staff are great, food is lovely and very reasonably priced. Helped out with taxis introducing us to Lesley who was a great tour guide! Thankyou grand daddy team.
