The service was great and everything was perfect, from the stuff, the food and the place was very clean and more especially the place is very safe.

I stayed for 3 nights. My room (no.1) was comfortable, had block out curtains as the window faces onto the parking lot. My gripes are that the room is close to the creaky stairs. Was woken up at 3am by someone walking up the stairs. Also, perhaps I missed it, but the wifi password was not displayed in the room. Otherwise, surprisingly quiet given its location very close to entertainment venues. Friendly and helpful service.

I had an enjoyable stay. I could not have stayed any closer to the venue for my workshops. It was great to walk to where I had to be on the Rhodes campus and not battle with parking. The guest house is very close to the Arch/Drostdy entrance. I stayed in a self-catering unit. There is a full kitchen (stove with oven, microwave, kettle, fridge with freezer compartment, utensils, crockery, etc.). The bed was warm and comfortable with a good (hot) shower. There is safe parking behind a security gate and good Wi-fi. Although it did not impact my sleep and work I was aware of noise in the evenings (music and chatter) from nearby venues until fairly late at night. This may bother other travellers, so something to be aware of. Although all the kitchen utensils were useable these need review/replacement/upgrading. It would be much more homely if the crockery "sets" were similar, pans did not have burn stains, etc.

We came, we settled, we fested, we slept, fested some more, repeat, repeat. 137 High street was our home base and always so nice to come back to! Still hearing the buzz as we dropped off to sleep - the guesthouse is super-central! Lovely history, well-appointed, friendly caring staff who went out of their way to care for our needs (and wants). We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the guesthouse. As we have had some business to do with Rhodes University it was very convenient for us. Rhodes University is just across the road. Highly recommendable.

Very comfortable room - well appointed and presented + comfortable bed & good linen. Quaint historic building, great location with ample, secure off street parking & close to St Andrews + Rhodes. Friendly, helpful staff & substantial breakfast.

We had a wonderful stay. The place is clean, the service was excellent and very safe. Breakfast was according to what we have ordered. The backup system made it convenient for us during loadshedding. A great and historic place
