    The bed could be a little better, the furniture was quite old, but there was no mold or bad smells due to that.

    Amazing location. Bathroom is nice, room was big and spacious. Breaskfast is OK.

    For a 5 star hotel, there should be a heated towel rail in bathroom and there were no laundry bags in room. Breakfast was ordinary.

    There were gowns in the room. Nice to have a secluded toilet. Comfortable to have a mini bar in room.

    I think for a 5 star and been a boutique hotel they should have a generator for when there is load shedding

    The location, setting and rooms are lovely.

    Would've liked the coffee pods and milk in the room to be replenished.

    Brilliant location; we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go (university, restaurants, shops etc). Friendly staff, good breakfast, quiet street.

    The breakfast was very basic, but I’m being pedantic. It’s more along the lines of what you’d get at a BnB, not a boutique hotel.

    very central location. Lovely, big rooms. We had everything we needed and were not affected during load shedding. The staff member who checked us in, showed us our rooms, did breakfast etc was fantastic.

    Nothing at all.

    The hotel is clearly very well managed. This was evident from our arrival through to our departure. All facilities are exceptionally well maintained and of a high standard, the breakfast superb and the location ideal for walking around one of South Africa's last safe towns. We had a fantastic stay!

    One small issue. The bath mixer had the hot and cold markers incorrectly located. It took a day and a half for us to figure that going cold was indeed hot.

    Excellent boutique hotel with attentive service. Very comfortable, spacious room and a feeling of being at home. The location is first class, while on a quite road it is a mere 100 meters from the town centre with a great range of restaurants. An interesting point was the location of the safe behind the room entrance door at eye level. Very sensible and obviating the need to crawl into the back of a wardrobe where safes are usually located.

    The only downside might be parking. We didn’t struggle that much but there is a possibility that your car might sleep out on the street if the hotel is fully booked … otherwise no issues at all.

    Love love love. The staff was friendly and helpful. They offered to do our laundry for free. The breakfast was out of this world. Really a place we will book again!!!

    They double room has the washing basin exposed with no privacy and the door of the twin room where my kids lodged was loose and each time they closed the door from inside, they will have to call someone else to come open. The breakfast did not meet our expectation and worse still, they do not make provision for lunch and dinner.

    The property has a wide range of antiques and is very clean. The rooms a re spacious and it is quiet

    There was power outage and the neighbour's generator was noisy....earplugs solved this noprob. Ideally the new rooms' floors should be wooden to match with the antique era decor but that's just a small details.

    Pochi and especially Themba are the best hosts possible. Excellent diverse breakfast and coffee. Full bouquet DSTV channels. Huge bathroom and lovely size room (I was in no 8).
