Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had lovely and spacious rooms, though the outside lighting made it quite bright all night. Blackout curtains would be a good addition. It was perfectly located in the heart of the CBD, although getting blocked in while trying to leave was an inconvenience. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is a quirky place, with double and single beds behind original vault doors making it a unique experience. The rooms were cluttered with artefacts but surprisingly quiet. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond, especially during room service. The location is perfect for CBD exploration, although the African motif might not be to everyone's taste. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with a self-serve continental breakfast. Overall, a memorable stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel painted the rooms while we were having breakfast, which was very nice. The staff couldn't do enough for us and even held a room for us last minute for a private party. The location had an odd African motif but was excellent and very central. The dining experience offered a great selection of cereals, bread, and fruit, and was Continental but adequate. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with minor inconveniences.
The hotel is a lovely place to stay in the middle of town, offering quiet and lovely rooms. However, the rooms can feel cluttered with artefacts everywhere, making it challenging to find space for your belongings. The service is outstanding, making us feel very welcome and catering to our needs. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the CBD.
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of charming Blenheim in a historical building, making it excellent for exploring shops and restaurants. The rooms, while spacious, faced issues with outside lighting affecting sleep quality, suggesting blackout curtains would be beneficial. The service was top-notch with attentive and royal treatment, especially in the cocktail lounge. Dining options were decent, and the overall experience was enjoyable and worth the price paid.
