“Beautiful hotel”

Nov 24, 2025Darren L

Excellent location in the heart of the town but designed in such away that you feel you are secluded from the bustle of life surrounding the hotel. Travelled to the area with my wife and stayed at the hotel for two nights. Hotel is beautiful and is both luxurious and homely at the same time. Staff were amazing, particularly “Hilton” who was the valet Parker/porter who provided the warmest of welcome. Rental car was parked securely off the road in an underground car park during our stay for no additional cost Room matched the rest of the hotel and was immaculate in its presentation and cleanliness. The room was quiet and we were not disturbed at all by the comings and goings of staff and other customers. The. Hotel has a lovely courtyard where breakfast is served and a perfectly adequate outside pool. The hotel was only a 12 min taxi ride from the main vineyards for an amazing days wine tasting.

“A Welcoming Hotel”

I stayed 3 nights at the Oude Werf and during my time was impressed with the attentive staff and good food. The staff on at breakfast were so nice and all ingredients so fresh. Well located, large modern room with period furniture in a beautiful building.

“Lovely hotel in nice location”

Sep 24, 202513garrys

A very nice hotel in a good central location in Stellenbosch. Valet parking was seamless - arrived at hotel no porter took bags to our room and parked our car. Nice lounge, nice pool area and nice restaurant facilities. The room decor, location and furnishings were excellent with one fairly major issue - no bathroom door. It looked like there was meant to be a sliding door closing off the toilet but it was missing.
