It’s an older hotel, with rooms in need of an update, The furniture on our room was awkwardly placed that I had to move the dresser out of the way, The breakfast however was wonderful, made to order and included in nightly cost, Music from bar upstairs was heard in the room 2 floors down, thank fully it stoped playing at 9 or 10.

Cute boutique hotel. Rooms are very small but nicely designed. Airstream park/bar on rooftop is super cute. Area outside hotel late at night can be sketch. We’re sad we didn’t get to experience the restaurant, it looked amazing. Would love to stay again.

Beware.. they illegally use your credit card numbe
I was going to stay but decided not to. They sent me an email saying to pay a deposit to reserve the room so I disn’t pay it. Turns out they illegally charged my credit card for the stay. It was 1016.00 USD. I have to respond to the credit card company because they will not discuss. I have had no luck with them and did not approve the charge. Beware… once they have your credit card info they charge what they want. This has caused me so much distress on my trip and they are very unprofessional.. I have called multiple times and texted at least 20 times. They read the texts but do not respond.

Great breakfast, good location.
My sister and I stayed here for 6 nights on a recent trip to Cape Town and generally enjoyed our stay. We arranged an airport pick up through the hotel and he was largely on time for our arrival. The price did change at the last minute though and when I asked why, multiple times, no one at the hotel would give me an answer. The room itself was good, very spacious. The shower was over a tub which was fine provided no mobility issues. Ours did leak a bit so we'd end up with some water pooling under the sink but we used the bath mat to soak that up. The shower was generally good with good water pressure. However, our final two nights we had no hot water but the first 4 we did, not sure why. Bed was comfortable. We had a fridge, but unlike other reviews ours was not stocked. We had a drink upstairs at the bar and dinner downstairs, both were good. Be prepared for loud music from the rooftop bar and also level 1 with what they've got happening there. It didn't worry our sleep and I'm not sure what time it stopped but might cause a problem for light sleepers. The highlight was the breakfast each morning. There was continental style together with a la carte. Odwa in the breakfast room was a ray of sunshine each morning and by day 3 she had our drink orders ready before we'd even ordered. Food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast staff should be comended. Waterfront is easy to walk to in daylight, as is Kloof St & Bo Kapp. I'd stay again

The hotel is unique and staff were excellent. As a solo traveller staff went out of their way to ensure I had safe rides/taxis to my destinations. Their restaurant and rooftop bar was safe and fun with good food. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Airstream Problems
This was our second night in the hotel. We decided to rent an Airstream on the roof because it would be fun and different. We rented the small Bambi trailer with the outside bath. The first issue was the outer door to the Airstream wouldn't lock, so people could come into our bathroom when we weren't inside the trailer. That wasn't a big deal. The problem we had on the 2nd floor room was no internet and construction noise. The internet worked great in the Airstream because the bar is upstairs. So, upon going to bed, one side of the bed was all wet. I assumed it was from the AC. I told the staff and they did relocate us to a room on the 3rd floor because they couldn't find the key to the other vacant Airstream. The room on the 3rd floor was nice and roomy. I did ask for a partial refund because we had issues with both our nights staying here. The reception said they were going to speak with the manager and get back to me. That was 6 hours ago and I haven't received a response. Again, its a cool hotel but it needs to be managed better

Construction happening!
The hotel is nice. They are in the process of building a new restaurant on the 2nd floor. So, from 7am to 8pm it sounded like someone was drilling through our wall! Plus, the wifi didn't work on our room. We had to go to the bar on the roof for wifi. We are staying in an Airstream on the roof tonight, so see my next review

Better than expected
Having had someone from Granddaddy use my booking data and try to scam me to pay again a few weeks before I arrived, I wasn’t full of hope. I still don’t think the hotel has resolved this to my satisfaction. However, once there we had a good stay. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff very helpful and courteous and the hotel I very well positioned. The roof top bar is a lovely place to relax.
