Pros:

Frühstück reichhaltig und gut.
Fast alle Zimmer sind mittlerweile renoviert und modernisiert

Cons:

Wenn man um eine Jahreszeit da ist, in der es nicht so heiß ist und man etwas Sonne genießen möchte, ist der Pool und der gesamte Gartenbereich nicht sehr geeignet, da dieser Bereich fast zu jeder welcher Tageszeit überwiegend imm Schatten der Bäume liegt.

Outstanding location and staff
Pros:

We‘ve had an amazing stay at Oude Werf. Especially the service and hospitality of ALL staff have been outstanding. There was a valet parking and we really loved the breakfast.
Perfectly located at the heart of Stellenbosch there were a lot of restaurants nearby but the hotel restaurant was our favourite ❤️

מלון בוטיק נחמד במרכז סטלנבוש
Pros:

מלון בוטיק נחמד, חדרים מרווחים , מיקום מצויין בלב סטלנבוש, ארוחת בוקר יוצאת מהכלל

Cons:

דרשו מאיתנו תשלום נוסף עבור הוספת בן זוג בחדר, למרות שלטענתנו שילמנו לבוקינג עבור חדר לשני אנשים. ההסברים לא עזרו ולכן נאלצנו לשלם תוספת עבור 2 אנשים בחדר. 5 דקות אחרי ששילמנו ועזבנו את המלון קיבלנו הודעה במייל שהם טעו ושיחזירו לנו את הכסף. בנתיים לא קיבלנו את הזיכוי.
