Very comfortable and cozy
Pros:

Staff was very friendly. I enjoyed talking to them. The room was small but I didn't have a problem woth it at all. I found it very cozy. I would have like a bigger variety on the dinner menu, but I do understand that it might not be feasible. The parking is a bit difficult, but also I don't blame the hotel for that. Stellenbosch parking overall is a bit of a problem. However, I would stay at this venue again in future. Breakfast was good. I would have like flapjacks, but that is just a personal favorite.

Cons:

Like I said the limited dinner menu and the parking.
