Convenient location – easy walk to downtown and the university, but in a quiet and beautiful area away from heavy traffic and city noise. All the staff were friendly, gracious, and efficient and went above and beyond to help. The room was cleaned exceedingly well every day and all necessary provisions (plus a few extras) were refreshed daily. The apples were delicious. There were surprisingly many pillows. Even my fairly small room had cooking facilities and a refrigerator, all of which helped me a lot.

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.
