Staying in the Daddy Long Legs Independent Travellers Hotel is like being part of an interactive art exhibition. The boutique hotel is quite unlike anything else in South Africa. Not only is each room uniquely decorated by an artist, photographer, designer or musician, but, they were afforded complete freedom to interpret the space as they pleased, resulting in a collection of hotel rooms that are an adventurous, humorous representation of Cape Town's contemporary cultural landscape. more » « less

It's real comfortable apartment with all the stuff I need such as washing machine, oven, microwave and so on. The apartment is just right in the center of Cape town, only ten minutes walk to the Art museum, German park, Tourism information center etc. The manager was also friendly and helpful. Though, it was so noisy at nignt time and... more

Amazing! I can not fault this place or their staff or anything about our stay. To be perfectly honest, the staff, in particular Wayne, made our stay really memorable. His fantastic helpful and funny nature and his local knowledge helped us book tours which were really to our flavour. Our room was called 'Open' and it was really comfortable- the... more

We have just returned from Cape Town where we spent our final two nights in Daddy Long Legs. The hotel itself was very cool – I loved the room (You Are Here) and the general atmosphere which was very much like a backpackers place. The loos in reception were also brilliant – I loved having a wee and seeing what... more

I enjoyed our stay at the Daddy Long Legs. All the rooms are very different, so it is worth it to visit their website and chose the room you prefer yourself. We stayed in the "open" one. The walls are filled with pictures of sunsets and the roof has a mosaic of mirrors (which was the main reason for what... more

We stayed in the emergency room for one night. The theme is a hospital room with red being the main colour of the room. Hospital equipment in the room! Plus a nurses outfit! Bed was not that great - could do with replacing. Bathroom floor could have been cleaner. Not sure I would want to stay in this room more... more

This place is great, particularly if you're under 23 and on your gap year. We're a little older (nearly 30), and we felt it a bit! The staff are lovely and very helpful, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming and the rooms are fantastic. It's also very cheap. However....there are a few things that stop me recommending it. Firstly the... more

Dear HappyHoliday Thank you for the review and feedback. We appreciate the feedback and take your comments and recommendation seriously. In answer to your review: I think it's important to visitors to Cape Town to not just stay on the beachfront, in a resort type environment. The city is fun, funky, and full of energy and a great place to...

We stayed for 12 days at the Daddy Long Legs apartments and were quite pleased with the experience. The pros: affordable, modern, trendy, comfortable, clean, secure, friendly staff The cons: noisy (depending on the flat) We were looking for an affordable apartment in the city centre, which is exactly what we got. After reading other visitors' reviews on Trip Advisor... more

For central location this is the place to be! We had 2 nights here in the Protea room and loved it - you have to see the rooms to believe them. We watched the Springboks Rugby team Bus Tour from the balcony here - Long St rocked! The hotel itself was not noisy by night (our room was at the... more

Having just returned from a 3 week trip around South Africa we decided to treat ourselves and stay at Daddy Long Legs. What a treat. The hotel is excellent value for money, in a superb location and very funky. Each room is completely different and designed by a different artist. Sergio was a great host and we really enjoyed ourselves.... more
