Not recommended.

We were met with the most uninterested woman in the reception. Felt like she didn’t care about anything. The room was very small, there was no fan, very tiny windows (felt a bit unsafe) and there was no shower as stated in the booking. The internet was not working during our stay, and there was no safety locker in our room, nor in reception. We were like the only people staying there. The only positive thing was the cleanliness and very nice housekeepers. The day we checked out, we wanted to store our luggage in the luggage room for one hour. The owner was there, but apparently he had left the building when we wanted our luggage, so it was such a mess to get the luggage, and delayed us almost an hour that day. All in all stay away from this place and find something nicer in Stellenbosch.
