I enjoyed my stay at this small boutique hotel, which boasted a great location near the town's restaurants and bars. The character of the hotel was charming, and the service from the management was truly exceptional. However, the room I stayed in felt a bit dark during the day, and breakfast had room for improvement as well. Overall, it was a comfortable experience with a few minor drawbacks.

This boutique hotel offers a unique charm that is hard to find elsewhere. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a very comfortable stay. I had a delightful experience with the staff, who were genuinely helpful and welcoming. The location is perfect, just a short walk to shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore. While I didn't partake in the breakfast, I heard great things about it. The only downside is the lack of a gym or spa facilities, which would have added more value to my stay.

I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and offered a cozy atmosphere, but I faced issues with cold water during my stay, which was quite frustrating. The location was excellent, right near the heart of Stellenbosch, making it easy to explore the area. However, the service left much to be desired, as the staff seemed unfocused and not very attentive. It was a bit disappointing given the price I paid.

The Batavia Hotel offers a welcoming atmosphere with lovely personal touches, situated conveniently within walking distance of local attractions. The rooms are comfortable, but there are some quirks like needing to climb steps and an odd kitchen area that may not suit everyone. The breakfast is delightful, but some details fell short in terms of privacy and security measures. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with friendly service that enhanced our experience.

I was really looking forward to my stay, especially with the charming appeal of the hotel's location just a short walk from the heart of Stellenbosch. The initial impressions were marred by issues with room quality and customer service that felt lacking. It's a quirky place with its colonial decor, but the overall experience didn't quite meet expectations. I ended up feeling frustrated about the room situation, even though I did have a nice room eventually. The price felt a bit high for what I experienced, considering the service and room issues.

Rooms
5.0
Initially, I was placed in a room that smelled of cigarettes, and the second one had a chemical odor that needed airing out. However, the final room I was given was a wonderful upgrade, featuring a lovely balcony and charming decor.
Service

Service varied quite a bit. There was a helpful night manager who did his best to resolve my issues, but the lack of staff presence was disheartening. It felt peculiar to encounter almost no one during breakfast.

The location is excellent for those wanting to explore Stellenbosch, situated on a quiet side street but just a short stroll from the vibrant center.

Breakfast offered a decent selection, though it can't be called exceptional. It was a bit odd that I hardly saw any other guests during my stay.

The overall facilities felt a bit underwhelming. While the ambiance is nice, upkeep and attention to the rooms need a focus.
