I had a good experience at Oude Werf Hotel, with standout moments being the friendly staff and great breakfast options. The location was perfect for exploring Stellenbosch, but I did face a few hiccups regarding service, notably with the coffee situation during breakfast. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but there's room for improvement.

The pool area was lovely, but I felt it was a bit cramped at times. The absence of a gym or sauna was notable, and it was a little inconvenient having valet parking only. Still, I enjoyed the serene atmosphere.
