Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel & Spa

Don't get me wrong here, it's still an ok Hotel for South African standard. Very nice staff, excellent location in the heart of Stellenbosch. But, old building which is understandable for the history. But it's crampy, tiny, not up to date. The room I've had did not have natural light (not visible on the pictures of the Web page), adjoing a corridor on one side and a wall on the other. And, most negative point of all is the noice. An Elephant was leaving above my room, you hear every stomp. Next to my room is the dining / breakfast room. After dinner it was rearranged for breakfast. I mean really rearranged moving and schlepping chairs and tables around. Got a video but can not upload. On the other side of my room was some utility room... very, noisy. Door handles are broke, carpets ate dirty, basically run down because of age, Internet is unstable (has nothing to do with load shedding). In my opinion, it needs a complete overhaul. I travel a lot, this one was recommended to me, I do not recommend this place, sorry for the people who work there, they are all wonderful....
