Central location!

We really enjoyed our stay, the staff were very friendly & helpful. The rooms were like an apart hotel. Service and food in the restaurant were good. The roof top was lovely but windy.

Not sure why no other review has mentioned this--the hotel faces a bar that has an outdoor patio and features live music from 8pm to 2am seven days a week. The noise level is unbearable.

We absolutely loved our time at the Trade. The rooms were adorable and fully equipped with everything you could ever need. The staff were lovely and accommodating and the area was so lively and vibrant. The street gets a bit loud as there are a few bars across the street so definitely be prepared; bring ear plugs and ask for a quieter room on weekends if you’re a light sleeper. All in all 10/10. We wish we had a Trade in our city!

Lovely

Wonderful and a little quirky place. Nice rooftop bar with dipping pool. Spacious room with kitchen. Decent breakfast next door at The Wes. Staff friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again if I’m fortunate enough to come back to Cape Town. I absolutely loved it. The only little minus was the large shower head. I think that with the water pressure, a handheld shower head would be better.

Excelente!

Minha experiência com The Trade Boutique Hotel foi incrível, desde a chegada, com uma recepção amigável e um ótimo upgrade na minha reserva, até a saída, com todo o suporte dos funcionários. O quarto é lindo, confortável e super limpo, com diversas utilidades na cozinha. Os produtos de higiene são maravilhosos e o serviço de quarto é de qualidade. O hotel está localizado em uma região de fácil acesso a tudo. Gostei bastante.

A well located and equipped hotel

We stayed in the hotel twice, with a brief trip to Safari in between (the hotel was happy to hold one bad in between which was much appreciated). It's a very well located hotel, so close to some fantastic bars, coffee shops and restaurants (Rosetta Roastery, Nikkei & Clarkes particular local highlights for us). The rooftop bar and pool is a lovely spot to watch the sun go down. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and we would happily return.

Hele fijne buurt met alle lekkere restaurants om de hoek op Breestreet. Hotel ziet er mooi uit en kamers waren keurig met water in de koelkast bij aankomst. Gehorigheid is wel een ding. Veel lawaai tot een uur of 2/3 in de ochtend (zelfs op de 6e verdieping) vanaf de Shortmarket Street waar een club en bar zit. Maar als je daar geen last van hebt, een geweldig hotel om te verblijven. Ik zou weer terug gaan!

Nos gustó mucho hospedarnos en este hotel. El diseño & decoración es muy original & acogedora. El hotel tiene poco tiempo por lo que todo es nuevo. Se encuentra en el centro de la ciudad, cerca de restaurantes, tiendas & lugares turísticos. Nosotros estuvimos en el bus de city sightseeing & estaba la parada a 2 min a pie. El cuarto es de buen tamaño. La cama & almohadas muy cómodas. Agregaría una caja fuerte & un tocador afuera del baño, al igual que espacio en el baño para guardar cosas, ya que no hay ningún espacio designado para eso en el baño. El personal de recepción muy amable. El desayuno es rico pero con pocas opciones. Un día mi esposo quiso agregar espinacas a su huevo (pagando extra) & el mesero nos comentó que el chef había negado ese requisito. Esto no nos gustó. El servicio del restaurante es muy lento. El rooftop es muy lindo & cómodo. Bebidas del bar deliciosas, Ash el bartender súper amable & amigable. Mejoraría la limpieza diaria de los cuartos, en especial el baño & regadera. El precio del hotel se me hizo un poco elevado, pero a comparación de los hoteles que hay en Cape Town, se me hizo razonable.

Das Hotel selbst ist schön, das Bett war super und alles ist geschmackvoll und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Es gab zwar eine Küche, aber wenig geeignetes Equipment, um selber zu kochen. Uns hat irritiert, wie wenige Steckdosen es gab - aber das ist ein Detail. Der Pool ist extrem gut fotografiert, in Wirklichkeit hat er das Ausmaß einer größeren Badewanne. Die Lage ist einerseits genial, weil so zentral. Aber gegenüber vom Hotel ist eine Bar, in der Gäste bis nachts Bier trinken. Ohne Ohrstöpsel ging es für uns nicht, aber man muss auch dazusagen, dass das in Cape Town in der Innenstadt oft so ist, da die Fenster den Straßenlärm nicht gut isolieren. Wir haben uns unterm Strich sehr wohl gefühlt, die Mitarbeiter waren super nett und hilfsbereit und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder
