The staff are excellent, the location is brilliant and the roof top bar is great. The food in the Bistro is a bit overpriced but there are plenty of food options locally. It is also right in the heart of First Thursday fun.

This hotel is in the perfect location for first timers to Cape Town. We walked to multiple locations and it was easy to join tours from here. From the moment we arrived until we checked out the staff did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. This group really understands customer service and they made us feel so welcome.

My stay at Trade Boutique Hotel was exceptional from start to finish. The design is stylish and modern while still feeling warm and intimate. The rooms were spotless, beautifully curated, and very comfortable. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout my stay. The location is ideal — close to key attractions while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. I would absolutely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Amazing staff and service! Room was well equipped, clean and in excellent condition. Great bed. The restaurant isn’t amazing, but plenty of options nearby. And again, the people working in reception and by the pool were absolutely 5 stars!

As a solo female traveller, I felt safe with the exceptionally friendly staff who made a point of knowing who I was by name and checked on me every time I went in and out of the hotel. The area itself is not for the faint hearted but I was being picked up for day tours from the hotel door each day so really didn’t bother me and there were lots of lovely restaurants close by. Quirky little hotel and only positive things to say
