Exceptional accommodation. The room was very comfortable, the bed was wonderful, wide, very good mattress, electric blanket and with the possibility of putting some more. Heating in the room. Good bathroom with shower, clean and soft towels, shower gel and shampoo. Possibility of making tea or coffee, electric coffee maker and every day 2 bottles of water were replenished to drink. Rala, the girl at the reception was a sweetheart, friendly and available, always asking if everything was ok and if I needed anything else, and always ready to answer any questions I had. The cleaning staff were extremely attentive and friendly. Breakfast was very good, and as it's winter, next to the fireplace, it tasted great. Right next to a Major Fraser's restaurant where you can eat very well. I 100% recommend this accommodation, whether for the accommodation, the friendliness of the staff, the comfort of the bed, and the location in a very friendly city.

    Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.
