Absolutely love the location. It's central. Love the breakfast included. I think we've found our spot. The staff are very accommodating & the person on the whatsapp line is amazing. Appreciate the upfront information & prompt response. The beds make you not want to go home & that says alot. Other than the bathrooms that are freezing its an amazing stay. The staff at the Bootleggers are just as amazing. Thank you.
That we didn't specify for room number 1. Lol. There was nothing not to like.

Modern, clean space conveniently located just off main road. It was safe and secure with parking behind a gate. Very comfy bed and nice big shower. Ideal for one or two night stay.
It lacked any extra touches to make it exceptional. No hand soap or a waste paper basket. Could do with two basic bed side lamps as the main lights are very stark. Also the outside balcony light is extremely bright so it felt like daylight outside.

Nice location and premises. Close to the Paarl Shopping Mall and some key areas for us. Breakfast was served at the adjacent Bootlegger Coffee Shop, Convenient but not substantial food.
There was a certain smell coming from the drains that never left the room. No greeting at arrival, self orientation check in.

We were attending awedding nearby so the location was perfect. The place easy to find, clean and instructions to gain access were clear and simple. Breakfast from a cafe next door was lovely, the staff was super friendly and very helpful.
I think there was only enough coffee for one cup each in the room :(

It was a very inexpensive place to stay. Moreover, breakfast was served in a cafe in the building next door, which was very good. Also, the motto posted in the restrooms was interesting.
I am disappointed that we chose a room with the hope that our family of four could stay together in one room, but that room was not ready and we were split into two separate rooms.

Good all round but standout “themed rooms” decor, especially room 6 was something different (in a good way)
Lack of outside lighting was a problem especially going up and down stairs at night. Television channels were also very limited and difficult to actually find an active DSTV channel Parking is a bit tight, especially going out from bottom parking area.

There is so much detail in the design and reuse of antique items... Even the toilet toilet roll hakkie made me fo "oh wow" Linen was awrsome with enough blankets and ample secure parking. Great coffee station in the room. Great for 1 night or a week. Definitely value for money, and hosts are very friendly and welcoming.
