Franschhoek Boutique Hotel

Great location, right in the heart of Franschhoek, with very tastful rooms. We were on the first floor & the views were fabulous. Hotel staff, all ladies, were very helpful & friendly. We were celebrating 2 birthdays & they decorated the rooms & bought cakes organised by our travel agent. Breakfast was included & consisted of a very nice buffet along with a dish that you could order. If you're doing the wine tram (a must) the shuttle stops in the carpark of the hotel, very useful.

“A few minor improvements required to make this a 5*”

Superb location, right in the heart of Franschhoek close to lots of restaurants. A 10 minute walk to the wine tram. Excellent secure parking. However a couple of points that prevented a 5* rating. The breakfast is adequate but not great. In the room there was just one complimentary bottle of water … more

Superb location, right in the heart of Franschhoek close to lots of restaurants. A 10 minute walk to the wine tram. Excellent secure parking. However a couple of points that prevented a 5* rating. The breakfast is adequate but not great. In the room there was just one complimentary bottle of water provided with additional bottles charged at ZAR 60. On our final night at around 12.30 am the fire alarm kept going on and off for nearly 30 minutes. No explanation or apology provided.

“Brilliant location for visiting the wine region”

Located just behind the main street in Franschhoek its perfecf for restaurants, bars and the Wine Tram. The latter being a 10 minute walk or you can pick up a shuttle from behind the hotel.

Located just behind the main street in Franschhoek its perfecf for restaurants, bars and the Wine Tram. The latter being a 10 minute walk or you can pick up a shuttle from behind the hotel. There has been a number of hill fires in the area which impacted power supply to the hotel and indeed many restaurants but the staff worked hard overcome many of the issues. A great place to stay in Franschhoek

“Not recommended, especially for those with mobility issues”

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a trip to a wedding nearby. The property is well located in the center of the town and within walking distance of restaurants, bars and shops, all with beautiful mountain views. The car park is secure and easy.

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a trip to a wedding nearby. The property is well located in the center of the town and within walking distance of restaurants, bars and shops, all with beautiful mountain views. The car park is secure and easy. The reasons for the average score: 1. The website photos are great but don’t reflect the reality of a property that’s effectively a B&B motel. It’s always risky to over promise and underdeliver. 2. As others have said, breakfast is decidedly average. I’ve never had eggs Benedict on a potato hash brown rather than a muffin before but hey ho! The juice is cheap and sugary and the jam wasn’t local. A boutique hotel would normally focus on this sort of detail. We had paid for breakfast but just had it once. 3. There is no restaurant or evening bar, both things I’d expect in a proper hotel but there are two very close by. 4. The room was bizarre: there’s a wood burner but no chairs to sit on beside it! There was a kitchenette but no dining table, just a desk with one chair. Does the other guest sit on the floor or eats in bed? 5. The property is extremely difficult for those with mobility difficulties: there’s no lift (but a lot of stairs) to the upper level rooms; the shower tray is lethal with a very slippery surface, no grab rails and no anti slip mat. 6. As others have said, most hotels replenish mineral water daily but not this one. I wouldn’t choose to return.
