Nice and decent.
Pros:

The location of this hotel is super. City centred, located on the main street and close to the wine tram. Room was decent, bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Shower was very nice and comfortable.

Cons:

Overall the hotel looks a bit outdated and there is some wear and tear throughout. Breakfast offering was very limited and items hardly got replaced during the 2 days we had breakfast. The pool is okay (convenient but nothing special) and the balcony we had het was “to share” with our 2 neighbours. There was much light coming from the hallway, through the curtains and from the television.

For the price we paid, we expected more.

Franschhoek's best kept secret.
Pros:

The hotel was a very pleasant surprise. Behind the facade lies an exquisite swimming pool with most rooms looking out over the pool area and some with a view of the mountain. The rooms were well maintained and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept on. We found the staff extremely friendly and very accommodating. Overall one of my best stays in Franschhoek over the past 10 years. We will definitely be back to stay.
