My husband went to university at Stellenbosch so staying here was a different experience from his impoverished student days. We booked a superior room. I'm not sure if we got a room as it appeared to be a suite with a separate living room. The room was lovely, beautifully furnished but we particularly loved the fireplace which went through from... more

My wife and I stayed here for two nights. Kirk (Church) Street where the hotel is located is where the action is. We got the impression that the best restaurants/clubs and African handicraft stores are located around this street. Stellenbosch town was somewhat quiet when we visited in early July--the university students were seemingly on vacation. This hotel bills itself... more

The hotel is situated in the centre of Stellenbosch. It is the oldest inn in South Africa, is cramped and lack some of the basics that comes with a 4 star hotel/inn. The service is excellent and the restaurant is just fantastic. The rooms however, are not at the same level. We had booked our hotels in SA at 4... more

Never used my rental car as everything was within walking distance! Although very central, my room was very quiet (week-end, student holidays). Best asset of this hotel is the extremely attentive staff who responded to every need with a huge smile and unprompted by tips gave their best! Two gentleman in particular have obviously been with the hotel for many... more

We loved this hotel, very intimate and full of character. Very friendly staff and a great breakfast. The note in our room explaining services was addressed to us personally, very nice touch. It is also in a great area for food and shopping. more

Right in the centra of town and all the bars and restuarants. The hotel is confortable and the rooms are basic but clean. its not what i would call 4 star but its ok and the location is the most appealing point. oh and the breakfast !! more

I decided to write this review because I couldn't believe what I was reading in some of the other reviews! Having stayed here in May 2007 and again in February 2008 we have booked for 10 days in 2009 because it is our favourite hotel in South Africa. The staff are welcoming, it's a great location right in the middle... more

After staying in some fantastic places in South Africa, D'Ouwe Werf was probably the only one I wouldn't return to. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible, it just wasn't that great. The building itself is nice, very historic and very well located in town but the place has a bit of an aloof air (which it has no reason... more

We stayed here on the very last night of our trip to South Africa as we dropped off our rental car in Stellenbosch and the next morning took a taxi at 4am (!!) for the short drive to CapeTown airport. The hotel is extremely average with devent sized and clean but tired rooms. On the up side the location is... more
