The staff was very friendly and helpful ready to answer any questions or set up tours around the city. Breakfast package was amazing! The restaurant was 5 stars, the ostrich steak was delish! Traveling with my sister we were concerned for safety but we never felt unsafe.

Unfortunately the face cloths had rips in them and we also saw blood stains at the bottom of the duvet cover. We checked in very late and did not notice the blood stains until the following morning. I have previously stayed at the Grand Daddy in one of the trailers and also at Old MacDaddys and had incredible experiences. This time was a definite let down.
Bed was comfy

There was a rooftop function on the saturday night. The hotel let us know about thi son Saturday. I woudl have preferred the option when I booked in on Friday, as we had a number of intoxiated guests trying to gain access to our aistream and general area. I think what woudl have been helpful is if we 1. were asked if we wanted to stay on the rooftop in spite of the fundtion when we booked in; 2. The function guests were briefed beforehand that the airstreams were actual rooms and as such off limits.
Breakfast was top notch. In actual fact the restaurant is a real gem! The room sare evry comfortable and the hotel location is fantastic, it is close to all landmarks and provides easy access to any part of Cape Town you wish to visit.
