Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located perfectly in the center of town, with a big comfy bed in the old main house room. The staff provide an excellent service, especially in the bar, but could work on their friendliness. The location is convenient for exploring the charming downtown area with great restaurant options nearby. The dining experience is not included in the rate, and the thin crispy fries were delicious.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were cozy and had an espresso machine. The bathroom was superb. However, the friendliness of the staff needs improvement, especially in the bar. On the bright side, the service is exceptional at the bar. The location is unbeatable in the very center of Stollenbosch. The dining was not included in the rate. The facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is ideally situated in the center of Stellenbosch, making everything easily accessible. The rooms are beautifully furnished with thoughtful amenities, but cupboard space could be improved. The service staff is very welcoming and helpful, especially in the bar area where the service is exceptional. The hotel provides a pleasant dining experience with juicy steaks on offer, although it's not included in the rate. Guests can enjoy a prime location right on the main tourist street in Stellenbosch. Overall, a great value for the price paid.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the price could have been more competitive.
