een aanrader!
Pros:

Lastminute kwamen we terecht in Batavia Boutique Hotel!
Wij waren ondanks het heel slechte weer heel tevreden! We werden hartelijk onthaald en bediend door Potchie (een fantastische kerel!!!).
Mooi ingerichte kamers, ideale locatie om te voet Stellenbosch te bezoeken. We kregen goeie tips om wijnhuizen te bezoeken! Een aanrader

Cons:

een slechte weer

Great location and very convenient. Friendly staff and great breakfast. Had to move rooms because of terrible WiFi recep
Pros:

Location was fantastic

Cons:

WiFi reception was very poor - we had a stream a hockey game and needed to move rooms for it. In these times, strong WiFi should be a given

Great Location. Not ideal to stay here when it's raining.
Pros:

Fantastic central location.
Giant amazing beds.
Breakfast hours very short (should be 30 mins longer)
No way of walking to rooms or standing outside your room without getting soaking wet. I suggest a covered walkway to the rooms as it rains a lot in Stellies.
Also no room to put my suitcase open. I ended up moving the furniture myself.
I found this a disappointing hotel. I won't stay here again.

Omwille van de locatie vlak bij het centrum aantrekkelijk.
Pros:

Ontbijt o.k. locatie zeer goed. Stoffering met ouderwetse meubelen.

Cons:

Men kan geen advies geven over de wijnhuizen met proeverijen. Eerder bescheiden aanwezigheid van personeel. De kamer werd niet schoongemaakt tijdens het verblijf.

Involuntary Wimhof Ice experience
Pros:

Well located, spacious, homely, very good breakfast.

Rooms 1 and 2 had no hot water (freezing) showers for all of us every morning for 4 days! Showered at 9 am and day of departure 8am. We ran the water for 15 min to try get hot water. Geyser Maybe on a timer ? I did tell the manager on duty but he couldn’t or didn’t do anything about it.
Parking restricted.
