The Trade Boutique Hotel by TPF

We had such a wonderful stay. It was only one night but the staff really went out of their way to make it exceptional. We had a bit of a hick-up at check in as we had booked through a 3rd party, but they were so accommodating and really went out of their way to fix it.

Incredible location, fantastic decor (the Wes Anderson of it all sold us when we found it) and the friendliest, most helpful staff combine to make this a truly great hotel in the heart of Cape Town. Not to mention the rooftop bar and pool! The breakfasts and dinners here, too, were exceptional (the steak tartare in particular blew my mind) and full credit to the chefs and waiters on hand. Service was brilliant at every meal and always on hand to help. With a shop across the road, restaurants a plenty on the corner and a fantastic bar within literally 10 steps of the entrance, this is perfectly placed to give you the best experience within Cape Town.

This was a proper scam… Cute pictures are Very misleading, the hotel is a disaster .. Terribly noisy from the night clubs and construction around… funny they didn’t have the decency to tell you this when you book… ( they offer ear plugs… when I went downstairs to get they didn’t have enough pairs for the family) Had place bed on floor in living room to avoid the noise - see picture Bathrooms have no storage facilities for toiletries other than a very cheap plastic trolley cart that collapsed on one side when toiletry bag was placed on it .. Roof top bar.. has great potential however with only one umbrella for shade. So if that is taken you have to sit in the blazing sun should you want to enjoy it.. Staff ….. let’s just say cell phones are more important than guest… However the lady “hostess” at the restraurant Friday evening was attentive. Lacks any kinda vibe / atmosphere It’s more of a back packers place than a hotel… nothing boutique about it Far better “hotel” options few blocks up We left the next morning after one evening of three.. No manager in sight when we asked to see him/ her..

Super loud from the bars in the streets, would not recommend. Impossible to sleep. When we complained about the noise they did nothing. No possibility on changing the rooms, no help whatsoever. Very disappointed, definitely not worth going

This is a super cool boutique hotel in a hip and trendy area. The colour scheme is colourful chic and rooftop bar is a little gem. The Wes Restaurant is warm and welcoming with a touch of quirkiness - think Grand Budapest Hotel! Staff are super friendly and security is reassuring. Only thing I missed in the room was a full length mirror, otherwise lots of thoughtful touches in room, including lovely toiletries. One note of caution if you are staying there for first Thursday in month prepare for full on street party outside hotel and in surrounding streets until well into the morning. I would have joined in if I wasn’t travelling the next day

I loved this hotel. The attention to detail was excellent. The space was well used and really catered for all my needs. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcome and accommodated. The room was tastefully furnished and had all amenities needed.
