This was the worst hotel we stayed in during our trip to South Africa. Oude Werf is overpriced, shabby, dirty, and in dire need of a full refurbishment. Our room design was flat out awful; an example of which was that the only place to hang towels was above the toilet pan. Disgusting and unhygienic. I wish we'd booked elsewhere instead of wasting our last night here. The central location is the only positive, but it just makes the place a tourist trap.

The location is good. Room was clean and breakfast area staff were friendly. However front desk staff were lacking in hospitality. Reccomendations for drivers were grossly expensive for the short tours we requested. A 30 minute round trip was approx 90 dollars canadian. The driver did not wait for us. There was an issue with hot water for seversl says. As well with power sharing the generator at the facility was not adequate to run AC.i would not stay here again. Upon leaving i had to request compensation for the water issue. This is something that should have been offered. I found the lack of hospitality very odd for South Africa.

Very good stay in Stellenbosch
Very friendly staff and extremely central, close to all shops and restaurants. Excellent valet parking and lovely breakfast. Corridors to the room could do with a bit of sprucing up, the odd skirting board missing and plain white walls which make the place look a bit ordinary. Perhaps they’re mid renovation so not a big deal but some improvements would make a massive difference and create a much better impression on first arriving. Lovely place though.

Prime location on one of Stellenbosch’s most historic streets. Mix of older & newer structures and so too of rooms in different styles, all likeable. This time I had one of the older ones but with fully modern bathroom fittings etc. Based around a central courtyard which is a lovely area to sit both day & evening. Very charming. The restaurant with its own covered courtyard delivers some rather good dishes on its short menu. The bar is delightful, again with older style decor. A few too many steps at my age, and rather low water pressure. But these are the only mild shortcomings; otherwise it’s perfect. I did not use the valet parking this visit, but know from experience it’s gold dust in this location.
