Such good service made our 1st two days
Pros:

The staff from Shannon in Reception provided excellent service in changing rooms. The Barman greets everytime i pass.The breakfast restuarant is the best. They keep Hawk Eyes on you and go to trouble of finding what you want. The Chef is really excellent and even came onto the floor to help. The manager and waiters are all so friendly . The cleaners are very curteous.The bonus is that i had parking and did not have to drive up and down in the street. This is my second stay and i will be back. Andrew & Marieta Dugmore

Linda experiência no coração de Stellenbosch
Pros:

Hotel muito bonito, super bem localizado e com uma experiência excelente do começo ao fim. Fica na rua principal, então foi muito prático para fazer tudo a pé e aproveitar melhor a cidade.

O estacionamento gratuito com valet fez bastante diferença e deixou tudo mais confortável durante a estadia. A equipe também deu ótimas dicas do que fazer na região, o que ajudou bastante no roteiro.

O café da manhã é realmente muito gostoso e super completo, um dos pontos altos da hospedagem. O restaurante do próprio hotel também foi uma ótima surpresa para jantar, com comida muito boa e ambiente agradável.

Foi uma estadia excelente e com certeza voltaríamos.
