“The Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 12, 2013

I stay over 200 nights per year in hotels. There is a reason why this is number one on TripAdvisor. Given the price, this property is truly excellent value for money. The staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Without a doubt will remain my number 1 choice for future visits to CT. If you can get a room here, do so and stay, you will not be disappointed.

“Totally deserves best service award”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

We recently spent 3 nights here on our 1st visit to South Africa, and what a fabulous introduction it was. The service is second to none, on our arrival Claire sat us down with a drink and asked what we would like to do and how could she help us, the recommendations she made for restaurants were excellent (Miller's Thumb & Fork), and the extras like the phone with pre programmed taxi and hotel number was so useful. Every hotel needs a Claire!

The 2 German owners are about and you can see are just on top of everything to do with the running of the hotel, they really have a place to be proud of. I must also mention Steffi, anyone who gives me a free gin and tonic at 5.30pm is fine by me, she reminded me of my best friend!

We stayed in the suite which was very spacious & beautifully decorated with a small outside courtyard. It has no views as such as it is on the lower ground level, but it does have a small outside courtyard area and as everything is in pale colours it is not at all dark. We would stay in it again.

We plan to visit again next year, but next time it will definitely be for longer. Yes Steffi, the time does pass quickly and we can't wait to see you all again.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

Only my second review but the 2inn1 team deserve their 5 star rating. My wife and I have travelled extensively, first on business and now in retirement, and we have seldom had such first class service. The rooms are excellent, the facilities lovely and the staff amazing. Their attention to detail in every way makes them stand out from the rest. I managed to leave my wife's jewellery in the room safe and Clair's Dad delivered it to us in Stellenbosch! Thank you 2inn1team for a most enjoyable stay.

“Friendliest people and great venue!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

This hotel boutique is an absolutely beautiful Victorian style mansion restored by the actual owners. It is decorated in the most amazing way in a mixture of vintage, local and modern styles that come together perfectly. It is owned and run by two German guys who are there everyday and make sure you are catered to your every need. They help you out with daily itineraries, reservations, and even gave us a lift one day to a fabulous restaurant they recommended. They serve an absolutely delicious and vast breakfast buffet each morning. Since they knew we were on our honeymoon they gave us a complimentary bottle and decorated our room with petals. It has definitely been one of my best accommodation experiences ever!

“Wowzers!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Believe the hype! Everything that is mentioned on the reviews are all true. We loved it so much that we extended our stay, despite the fact we were already booked into another hotel in Stellenbosch. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel at home (Stef, Claire, and Kenneth were the bomb!). My only criticism is that the hotel and grounds are so nice, you won't want to leave to explore Cape Town! The icing on the cake is the price...which is more than fair for what you get.

Room Tip: The rooms with the view of table mountain are the best. But...all the rooms rock.
