Great location, decent rooms, and breakfast, but expensive for the standard

Review of Eendracht Hotel
3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Jan 2017
We stayed for 4 days in the Eendracht Hotel. We were in room 6, which is the room with the balcony on the front. The balcony was great allowing us to relax in the evenings and watch as the world went by on Dorp street. Our room was nice enough with WIFI and all of the usual amenities including a fridge. Some rooms open directly onto the pool, others are situated in the main part of the hotel building, all rooms that we saw were a reasonable size with some nice period furniture. The hotel does have a small pool with limited seating. It also has guarded parking in a quiet car park at the rear of the hotel. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but does have a limited bar in the 'lounge' beside reception. Breakfast was served in a nice room at the front of the hotel, there was a good selection of cereals and fruit salad with yoghurt. Juice and cold cuts and cheese were also in plentiful supply. Cooked food was also served with nice bacon and spicy sausage (wors). Omelettes were large and well filled. we had a problem when a porter damaged our luggage, but after a brief exchange of disappointment, the staff were able to get the luggage repaired. Our only other comment was the cost. I do realise that this was a town centre hotel but it was exactly twice the price of several other similar standard places that we stayed in South Africa.
Date of stay: January 2017
Room Tip: Check which room, R6 with balcony was nice, but a pool room may suit others

Dear Polychrest
Thank for your in depth review! When I travel myself a review like yours would be invaluable to me. Thank you!
I am sorry about the luggage problem. And yes, being in the town center does have its positives and (unfortunately) negatives. But I can promise you we are working on them!
Thank you for staying with us and hope to see you again soon.

A lovely 3 days of comfort, peace, good breakfasts and … convenience. Just a short walk to where everything happens in Stellenbosch: that factor makes this an almost unbeatable option, especially at the price.

We had Room 2, with its tiny courtyard, tucked away behind Reception. Can’t fault much there, from the well-appointed bathroom with hansgrohe fittings to the pair of comfortable Queen beds. The only small niggle was the lack of places to stow clothes: the fold-up shelf in the wardrobe isn’t quite the perfect answer.

Good breakfast, good staff, good prices, good accommodation, good WiFi - what else do you want?

As smokers, we much appreciated the sensible approach taken by the Eendracht instead of imposing a blanket ban. Smoking outdoors is OK, unlike many places that just ban it on the whole property. The situation is explained very charmingly on the website!

We will definitely return.

Room tip: Room 2, ground floor.

Good morning The_Old_Brits
The room you stayed in is exactly the one I want to market as the room available for cyclists! The "tiny courtyard" as you so eloquently put it, is most suited to store your cycles securely! We now have many cyclist staying at our establishment.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We learn so much about our business this way.
Thank you.

I really liked this one! It is very charming, and it seems that you are staying in a real house, not in a hotel. The rooms are not too big but they are very cozy. The location is great, near everything in the city. Good choice .

Hi Amanda A
YES! We have done it. That is exactly what we strive to achieve. We want Eendracht to feel like a Stellenbosch house. As if you come and stay with one of the old Stellenbosch families and experience the Winelands and Cape Town. We are busy developing a map that will show you all the cycling and MTB routes as well as activities for our guest's enjoyment.
Thank you.

Great central location (Dorp St). Short stroll to superb restaurants and the centre of this historic town.
Excellent service, clean and well equipped room complemented by a good breakfast.
Would definitely stay here again.

Good day Alan P
Thank you for your review. On the last count, there was about 60 establishments (walking distance) where you could get a meal. Ranging from popular fast foods to some of the best restaurants in South Africa! We recommend our guest to stay with us and go out during the day and in the evenings pic one of the many restaurants or experience culture at one of the five theaters in town.
Hope we will see you again soon!

Short walking distance from the centre and the restaurants, peaceful surrounding, easy access by car and great service. Beautiful building with charming, spacy rooms. Excellent base for a wine tourist

It must be the most quiet accommodation in central Stellenbosch. Room was beautiful and super clean. Breakfast service was beautiful. Location is fantastic. Staff always available and extremely polite.
