Top Lage mit Parkservice und tolles Frühstück
Pros:

Die Lage ist absolut Top!!! Hinzu kommt der Parkservice sowie ein sehr freundliches Personal im gesamten Hotel. Das Frühstück ist nicht zu überbieten. Die Penty Rooms mit Balkon sind sehr schön und ruhig.

Cons:

Stellenbosch hat eine Rattenplage in der Innenstadt, so dass sich hin und wieder durch die Garage eine Ratte in den Innenhof verirrt.
