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.

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.

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
