Hoteles de 3 estrellas en Cabo del Este, Sudáfrica

Bartholomew's Loft isn’t just accommodation – it’s a standout experience that blends historic charm, practicality, and warm hospitality, making it my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Grahamstown. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or for a cultural trip, this converted gem checks every box with style and ease. Unbeatable Central Location with Historic Charm Nestled in the heart of Grahamstown’s historic Artificer’s Square – the original 1820 settler artisan quarter – the property oozes character from its restored colonial architecture, wagon stones, and cobbled gutters. Its location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to the city centre, 600m from the Cathedral in High Street, and 1km from Rhodes University, putting shops, restaurants, and landmarks within easy reach. Even better, the lively restaurant and bar scene is a short stroll away, while Sunshine Coast beaches are a manageable 37-mile drive for a day trip. Spacious, Well-Equipped Accommodation for Every Group The loft’s converted spaces are a highlight – once an old church, the property features double-volume living areas, exposed timber beams, and high ceilings that feel airy and welcoming. The self-catering units are incredibly spacious (the main loft sleeps up to 6 adults) with open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen areas perfect for groups. The fully equipped kitchens come with stoves, microwaves, fridges, and kettles, making meal prep a breeze. Beds are comfortable (some with electric blankets for chilly nights), and rooms include thoughtful touches like heaters, irons, and free toiletries. Private courtyards and garden access add to the peaceful vibe, while secure off-street parking gives peace of mind. Warm Service & Thoughtful Amenities The staff and hosts go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Check-in is seamless, and their friendliness and willingness to help – from offering local tips to accommodating last-minute stay extensions with discounted rates – truly stands out. The amenities are tailored to comfort: free Wi-Fi throughout, DStv for entertainment, daily housekeeping, and a lovely outdoor swimming pool to relax in. For those on the go, breakfast is available (with a “breakfast to go” option), and dinner can be arranged upon request. Laundry facilities and a 24-hour front desk add extra convenience. Exceptional Value in a Unique Setting What makes Bartholomew’s Loft truly special is its balance of uniqueness and value. You’re not just booking a room – you’re staying in a piece of Grahamstown’s history, with all the modern comforts you need. The property’s cleanliness (rated 8.9 by guests), comfort (8.6), and value for money (8.5) speak for themselves, making it affordable without compromising on quality. It’s equally suited for families, friend groups, or visitors attending events like the Standard Bank National Arts Festival. For anyone visiting Grahamstown, Bartholomew’s Loft is a no-brainer. It combines historic charm, unbeatable location, spacious accommodation, and warm service – all at a great price. I’ve recommended it to friends and family and will always choose it for my return trips to this lovely city.

Staying at River Front Estate was an absolute dream. The location is picture-perfect, and our room was beautifully designed, complete with a terrace overlooking the river. We enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and woke up to serene mornings with a coffee in hand, pure bliss. We were also lucky to have daily visits and cuddles from Duchess, the gorgeous Great Dane, and a 17-year-old cat we affectionately named Nala (lol). The owner, Lisa, made our stay even more special, she was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and even came to our rescue when we realized we’d brought the wrong plug! Also want to add that all the ladies working there were SO LOVELY and kind! They are absolute angels.  The location is perfect for anyone visiting Addo National Elephant Park, just a short drive away. Plus, having a huge Spar around the corner made grabbing groceries easy and convenient. This was a stay we will never forget. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Garden Avenue sin conductor, dependiendo de la ubicación del hotel. La ubicación es buena, baja un poco por la N2. Cuando llegué al hotel, descubrí que el hotel se ve mejor que en las fotografías. Reservé una habitación familiar, pero resultó tener tres camas y un pequeño jardín con la puerta lateral abierta. La habitacion es muy espaciosa. La decoración del hotel es muy retro y el desayuno suele ser buffet. En general, la relación precio / rendimiento es alta. También es genial para todos. La ubicacion es buena. Recomiendo encarecidamente el restaurante al lado del hotel, ¡la pierna de cordero es súper deliciosa!

Very clean, very pretty small guest house, located not far from the beach. Note, you must drive everywhere after dark for your safety. Rooms were well appointed and clean but had a central chandelier which I headbutted everytime I went to the toilet during the night. On arrival the leady wasn't very welcoming leaving us sat in the car while she treble checked the booking. The house rules were rather passive agressive in tone but all in all a nice stay.

Super super nice hostel, with amazing services and facilities!!! The staff there provided great and helpful tips and assistance on the planning of exploring the city, and the bar next to the campfire is another level. The swimming pool and hot tub are clean and comfy too. Staying at the 14-mixed bedroom but the bathrooms and beds are really clean. Glad to stay at Tube n Axe and would definitely go back again!!

The transfer was really fast, indeed Stephen came within 5 minutes to pick us up, even though our flight was delayed. The rooms are warm and cosy. And the surrounding too with many plants and upcycling of used materials to good use. Stephen also gave us good advice and recommendations for our onward garden route journey.

Very easy to find location and communicate with very friendly householder The apartment is cosy but slightly ascetic (no fully isolated bathroom from main room) Beautiful orchard and view around site Gorgeous ancient city in Dutch style with delicious meals in restaurants and awesome local paleontology museum

Such a beautiful hotel. Exceeded my expectations. I wish I could it a 5 for cleanliness but below my bed was a bit dirty and i hope they can check below the bed. Blanket a bit dirty too. Otherwise this hotel is underrated. I loved the whole setting and volllage and restaurant and service.

Awesome experience, the staff was great. Had the opportunity of meeting the owner himself. A great person. If you are looking for a place to relax around a fire and look at the stars and just forget about the busy world, then this will be for you.
