Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spacious and comfortable rooms, with some specifically mentioning Room 802's large bathroom, complete with a tub and walk-in shower, in addition to heated bathroom floors. Breakfast in the courtyard is often described as a relaxing and pleasant experience. The on-site restaurant, Camdeboo, is a definite plus, and many recommend enjoying a meal or a cocktail in the library; however, a few guests have mentioned issues with the pool's cleanliness. The hotel's location in the beautiful historic town further enhances the experience, with the grounds being lovely and well-maintained.

The breakfast was acceptable (a good start to the day).
The shower was inadequate. It did not provide the expected water pressure for a hotel of this caliber and was a disappointing aspect of the room.
