Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were comfortable and clean, although they were a bit dark and there were some street sounds due to load shedding. The service was friendly and special, providing all the necessary information for a great experience. The location was convenient, especially during the flower season despite being a bit noisy on the main street. The dining experience offered excellent quality but lacked handle holders.
The hotel had a pleasant location on the main street, but the morning rush was a complete disaster. The rooms overlooked the pool but were near reception and the road. The dining experience was basic but adequate. I found the service lacking as staff didn't attend promptly and struggled with simple requests.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The room I got was quite spacious with a good-sized bathroom and a walk-in shower, which was a major plus. However, it seemed like the room was typically reserved for bus drivers as it didn't have the proper plug adapter for the hairdryer, which was a bit inconvenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although large and comfortable, had a noticeable dust smell and didn't match the expected 'double' room from the pictures. On the bright side, the bathroom had both a bath and a shower. The service was friendly, but they seemed preoccupied with the evening buffet. The location was central and easy to find, but the noise and morning chaos took away from the experience. The dining options were limited and not impressive. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was a lovely experience overall. The rooms by the pool were really nice, and having parking for our car was convenient. However, the lack of sports channels in the room was a downside compared to what we had originally booked.
The hotel's location in the center of town is convenient, close to amenities, but the lack of cleanliness and safety at night are concerning. The dining experience was slow and lacked quality, yet the facilities offered some convenience. Overall, the value for money is debatable given the mixed experience.
I had a mix of experiences during my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable, but the lack of soundproofing facing the main road was a downside. The view of the graveyard from the room was surprisingly special. The service was very special and helpful, especially in providing information for our wild flower experience. The location was perfect for our activities around Clanwilliam, despite being in an impoverished area. The breakfast experience was enjoyable overall, although there were some shortcomings. The facilities met our expectations, but there were a few hiccups in certain areas.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although they could use a small chair or surface for placing clothes. The atmosphere was not exactly as pictured on the app, but it was still cozy. The service was friendly, but the staff seemed a bit rushed at times. The location was convenient, although a bit noisy being on the main street. The dining experience was good, especially considering how busy the hotel was. The facilities were satisfactory but could use some improvements to enhance the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were not as clean as I expected, but they were very satisfactory and each had their own outside space. The service was exceptional, with friendly and professional staff who provided all the information needed for a wild flower experience. The location, though neat and tidy, was tight for trailers or bike racks. The dining experience was below par, with everything being bad, even the coffee. The facilities met expectations.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was great, but unfortunately, the dining experience fell short for me. The staff was accommodating, but a bit too busy, and the location, although perfect in the main street, could be better maintained. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
