Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel

Staff was warm and welcoming. Breakfast was great. Rooftop bar was a great bonus!

Starting from the beautiful building, this hotel felt like a carefully curated gift box. From the genuine smiles at reception to the eclectic, Wonderland-inspired interior design, every detail reflects creativity and personality.The rooftop is a true design highlight, featuring iconic Airstream trailers that create an unexpected and playful architectural experience above the city.The room was spacious and well designed, the breakfast abundant, and the location on vibrant Long Street added energy and character to the stay.A boutique hotel with a strong identity — inspiring, memorable, and highly recommended for design lovers.

We stayed in an airstream which was very cute

They advertise heavily on being on the rooftop bar when you stay in an airstream. We planned our trip accordingly, we were celebrating our engagement and planned to spend the evening wedding planning at the roof top bar right outside of our room. On arrival we were told it was closed to us as there was a private event which was extremely disappointing and loud. If we would have been given a heads up we would have adjusted our accommodation accordingly. Not to mention when we arrived we were told the elevator was broken and we were in charge of hauling our own luggage to the fourth floor up the stairs with no offer of help. Thankfully the elevator maintenance guys were there and let us take it up. Overall the stay was fine but the bar being closed to the public and having to awkwardly walk through the event any time we wanted to leave our room was extremely disappointing.

Beautiful historic hotel with an awesome rooftop bar and airstream trailers you can stay in. It’s downtown with many restaurants nearby.

Nothing!

ambiance and location

breakfast

Great locationGreat staff

The bathroom "door".A sliding door that did not fit in the door frame and got stuck.Like being on a toilet "next to" the bed.

Disappointing

We booked a standard room with two beds from 30 March to 4 April. When we arrived at the hotel after a moment we discovered that the room had no light or air, because the window opened onto a hole on the terrace above. I pointed this out to the receprion and was told that it was a standard room! I remarked that in any room the window must be there and that in any case it must be indicated on the booking, when choosing the room. which it was not. after a couple of days we asked them to change the room because we could not breathe (in fact the air-conditioning was always on), and they gave us another room on a higher level (a window on the courtyard with all the motors of the air-conditioners of the rooms outside our window!) and they even charged us a supplement.

Breakfast great. Loved the funky atmosphere great room with extra living room. Good location and neighborhood. Friendly staff. Loved the roof deck.

Only issue not being able to use roof bar when there was an event.

The bed was comfortable and the wifi was good.

It stank of sewerage, we didn't even want to use the loo. We left first thing and didn't even want to have breakfast there. I also asked several times if I could have balloons and flowers delivered there as it was my partner's birthday and no one came back to me when I asked several times. It also seemed that it was forgotten that I had booked parking as the concierge was confused at that. Overall the worst stay we've had. Wouldn't recommend anyone, as it seems it's an ongoing issue since the floor leading to the bathroom is spongy from damp.

Very nice hotelVery nice roomsBeautifully decoratedAmazing rooftopVery friendly and helpful staff

Noise from discotheque next door playing very loud music until early morning.One Saturday night, party hosted by non-hotel guests with extreme loud music vibrating in the rooms Had the worst rump steak ever in SA. It was like it was defrosted, fried and served. The manager did apologize and compensated it with free dessert.

Location, breakfast, room size, bed.

No Power outlets next to the bed. The room did not have city view, just an internal yard.

Nice location, nice personal, nice rooftop

There was a strange smell in the bathroom

The on site restaurant made it easy for meals during the evening to eliminate venturing out at night which may have been unsafe.

Loud music was prevalent from neighbouring venues in the front rooms on Long Street. I would suggest booking rooms at the back of the hotel to reduce this disturbance that can go to 2am.

Beautiful, original hotel, excellent location , delicious food. Friendly professional staff. Loved it!

Nothing!

Really nice staff, room and location in the city centre, good breakfast

Staff is friendly.Breakfast was nice

The room was dusty. There was a problem with the toilet it did not flush. There was parties going on in the area till 4am

The lobby, rooftop and hallways have special, artistic touch.

Room was outdated.

Central location

The management is not friendly at all. They could not help with the change of stay dates to a month later and never responded. Not friendly.

Decent selection of food options and staff eager to ensure you got what you wanted.

Noise from street, local South Africans using restaurant as their office and to do business and make business calls.

good

There was a party right next to our Streamliner, think the Hotel should let you know before taking your booking . No dstv in the rooms, just local channels. Had a tv in the top bar but that did not work
