overnight stay here in standard room.the room has everything you need,tea,balcony,roomy,etc,etc.These rooms are rather old fashioned and in need of an update.If I had been staying for longer,I would have upgraded to one of the new rooms.It's like comparing a good 3 star to a 5 star.It's up to the individual to decide.All in all a top hotel.

We had a lovely stay at this very chic hotel in the middle of beautiful Stellenbosch. Behind the stunning old Cape Dutch facade a beautiful modern hotel was built, with lovely rooms and excellent beds and bedding. We found the staff exptremely professional. Good value for money, and the breakfast was great next to the courtyard under the vines. If... More

Exceptional service by the staff. Fantastic rooms. Day manager Wonder really went the extra mile on several occasions to help our family. We stayed in one of the apartments to the north of the main complex. It was really comfortable and there was a recurring noise that was traced to the plumbing in the unit above us and fixed the...

I arrived after working incredibly hard for about 3 weeks and this is the only reason I can think of for accepting the horrible room I was given - I was simply too tired to complain. The bathroom was old and tatty, the shower didnt manage to produce enough of a trickle to wet my hair enough to wash it... More

This hotel has a great location - right in the town centre. The service is not that great. We stayed there twice, and both times we asked for an extra bed for our child. Both times the staff forgot to do it. Same story during breakfast - slow and sloppy service. Parking near the hotel is limited, a lot of... More

We arrived here for 2 nights on the 2nd part of our honeymoon. The room was ground floor and clearly newly refurbished and with modern interior design. It has a good restaurant with a quaint courtyard. The pool is pretty but appears to be in the shade for most of the day. Staff were lovely especially the night reception guys... More

This boutique hotel is situated ideally in the heart of Stellenbosch which is perfect for some late night boozing, cruising, and fine cuisine. You'll also find several hookah bars as the students keep this cities culture live and high. Lol Anyway, the hotel is unassuming at first and the reception is in complete contrast to the rest if the hotel... More
