Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was spacious with a good-sized bathroom and nice products. It was clean and cozy, perfect for a cold winter's day. The service was top-notch, especially Maxwell who really stood out. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always with a smile. The location was ideal, within walking distance to the center of Stellenbosch and all its amenities. The dining experience was decent, with friendly staff and a fine breakfast. Overall, a great value for money option with wonderful facilities.
The hotel is conveniently located in Central Stellenbosch, just a short walk from the charming village with its niche shops and delightful restaurants. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, although they fell short of expectations with several maintenance issues. The lovely service and wonderful amenities make up for some shortcomings in the room quality.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were just perfect, spacious with everything we needed, and a little patio outside with the pool and sun beds just a few steps away. The service was excellent, with helpful and accommodating staff available 24/7. The location was brilliant, with all the restaurants nearby and within walking distance. The dining experience was delightful either inside or out by the pool.
The hotel is situated in a lovely area near the river path, within walking distance of shops, bars, and restaurants. The rooms were stunning and well equipped, perfect for a family stay. The service was wonderful, with staff going out of their way to provide information on local attractions. The dining experience offered plenty of choices under the shade of trees. However, the lack of additional power sources during load shedding is a downside.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully appointed with high-quality bed linen and toiletries, providing a personal and luxurious feel. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, with a minor setback of having to pay extra for a cappuccino at breakfast. The location was superb, making it convenient to explore the town on foot, and the dining experience was amazing with high-quality, fresh food made with heart. Overall, a delightful experience with just a few minor hiccups.
