    Great location very central to all the sites we wanted to visit. This boutique hotel was truly five star with spacious rooms and exceptional service. Would certainly stay there again.

    The property has no faults

    This boutique hotel is top quality in every way. We stayed in two different rooms and both were exceptional, the beds are so comfortable the rooms are huge and bathrooms just plush. What makes it even better is the little extra touches with free mini bar in the room and bar area. In the evening when your beds are turned down you get left a little treat on your pillow. The room also has a wide choice of usb and charging points. The breakfast was one of the best we had during our trip in South Africa. The location is perfect next to all the bars, restaurants and art galleries. We highly recommend this hotel. Franklin was a great host.

    Didn’t have a gym. I guess I was there to relax but always like a gym where possible. With that said they give complimentary access to a health club less than a 5 minute walk away which was well equipped and the small pool the hotel has is very nice

    Stunning boutique hotel with very comfortable communal area with an honesty bar that was FOC. Breakfast was high quality although did notice a lot of waste from the fruit / bread / meat trays that are given to every table. Location is perfect for Franshoek and staff very welcoming and knowledgeable of the local and surrounding area

    A Do Not Disturb/ Please Clean sign would have been useful - staff seemed to knock at our door quite frequently which was a bit annoying. I don't think the pool was heated as advertised, but I imagine that's quite difficult with all the load shedding that is going on across the country.

    Very well-located for walking along the Franschoek high street to visit the numerous restaurants and coffee shops. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and Conrad kindly helped with some recommendations for wineries to visit. The very large room was beautifully appointed with a comfortable bed and there were lovely robes provided. The big bonus was coming home each night to a tasty little treat waiting for us!

    There aren't enough words to describe what a little slice of heaven the Last Word is. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Conrad and his team were so welcoming and attentive to all our needs. They were helpful and informative, giving you advice on things to do but also space to explore. The attention to detail is unmatched. Small gestures such as a thoughtful dessert on your bed at the end of the day, were just some of the ways they made our stay special. The facilities are luxurious, the location is perfect for exploring Franschhoek on foot. The only negative feeling we had during our entire stay was having to leave. Would recommend 100 times over. Thank you!

    Everything about The Last Word was exceptional, starting with the manager, Franklin. He was the consummate professional, dedicating himself to ensure every detail was taken care of. Fabulous very comfortable suites, with special touches - my room had a glassed in veranda next to the pool and my son’s room had a veranda that led into a small garden. Very magical! The breakfast was served in a quaint dining room, with gorgeous plates, and was excellent. We loved our stay in this wonderful gem of a hotel
