I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which had a unique charm with its period antiques and eclectic decor. The spacious rooms were comfortable, although they did lack direct sunlight, making the heaters necessary during my stay. The hotel is located in a great spot, just a short stroll from the town center, which adds to its appeal. The service was warm and welcoming, though there were moments that felt a bit strange. Overall, a good place for the price, but the dining options could use some improvement.

The rooms were spacious and well-furnished with lovely decor. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff always ready to assist.

My stay at the hotel was generally enjoyable, with spacious, comfortable rooms and a great location just a short walk from the center of Stellenbosch. The staff were wonderfully friendly and always ready to help. However, I did have some noise issues from neighboring rooms, and the breakfast could definitely use some improvement. Overall, I felt it was a good value given the comfort and convenience.

While the breakfast was decent, I think it could benefit from a few improvements; I personally would have preferred a croissant instead of regular brown bread. Luckily, there are many great restaurants just a short walk away.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the rooms were comfortable and offered stunning views of the Twelve Apostles. The location was perfect for exploring Stellenbosch, close to everything yet in a quiet area. However, I did find that the walls were a bit thin, as I could hear conversations from the neighboring room. Additionally, while the service was friendly, I felt a bit uncertain at times due to some unclear communication.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its clean and comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a fantastic location right in the center of town. However, the rooms were a bit noisy at night, which detracted from the experience. The meals were delightful, especially the extensive breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the heart of Stellenbosch while still being quiet and peaceful. The service from the staff was outstanding, with everyone being incredibly helpful. However, the rooms had some unpleasant odors and the furniture felt a bit outdated, which was disappointing. Overall, the hotel provided good value for money considering its excellent location and the lovely two-person bath tub in the room.
