10/10 Exceptional

Great location in the middle of Stellenbosch. Friendly staff - especially impressed with concierge/security team. Lovely corner room but would have benefitted from second glazing also on side window as a fair bit of traffic/street noise. Also, would have been good to have internal phone numbers listed for when you want to get hold of reception/restaurant etc. Will stay again

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is ideally located in Stellenbosch. On main shopping and dining street. Very safe to walk around, a charming area with lots of dining options. The staff was very nice, professional, and accommodating. The hotel's original building is a historic property with an addition on the back. Breakfast was included with a large selection and a nice bar just off the lobby. Very good price value hotel. Full services including arranging a driver or tour to wineries in the area. Stellenbosch is a must-do trip when in South Africa. Would definitely stay here again.
