A well located hotel with spacious rooms Beautiful wallpaper of flowers on the walls of the room . Room was spotless , clean and neat . Large doors with plenty of light in the room .Warm and well insulated with a good heater. A common verandah that faces the lawn and poolside. Large and well equipped bathroom . The hotel had a good generator so the guests don't feel the 2 hour powder cut that most hotels in South Africa have to face in the evening time.. A short walk away from the hotel you will find some shops and restaurants. We got some food from the grocery store which we decided to eat at the hotel. The receptionist was extremely courteous and arranged plates and cutlery for us to eat outdoors by the pool . Breakfast is amazing.... each dish is well presented with a good variety of options The restaurant is done up like an English Pub . The service is great . Steve, our waiter was polite, friendly and always smiling . A lovely hotel and would recommend it to stay for sure. Read less

A comfortable hotel, with very spacious bedroom, large comfortable bed, very clean - and unusual in having a good range of lighting including a very bright, but not harsh central light, so useful when packing suitcases! Large safe. Big car park, with security gate. Good choice of food for breakfast, also good evening meals. The varandah-like balcony was nice, but oddly with only one chair per room(!), overlooking a grassed courtyard like area with swimming pool and surrounding loungers - though the balcony doubled as the entrance route to rooms, so apart from the end room (which ours was), there could be people walking past you sitting on the balcony, or past the floor to ceiling bedroom windows. Location is excellent - less than 5 min walk to the tram station (useful at the end of a wine-tasting day!)and a variety of other eateries and shops all within a few minutes walk. Read less

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms were really spacious with a huge bathroom too. Great location just a short walk to some lovely restaurants and the wine tram station. Would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Absolutely loved this hotel. Very conveniently located near the wine tram and has a hussar grill at the hotel. Reception was friendly and housekeeping staff were amazing. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Will return if I am ever in Franschoek again.
