Spanhoek Boutique Hotel

The room smelled awful, the bed linens were dirty, the pillows smelled disgusting like stale sweat, lots of mosquitos were in the room and bit us all night so we couldn't sleep. There was no hand soap. We left at 3 am as I was getting sick in the room due to the moldy smell. I had stayed previously at this hotel and the room was clean and the linens were fresh so that's why I booked it again but this time the room was awful and smelly.

Expedia advertise a different price that what the hotel is charging on arrival.

Durty

There was a lot of bad smell to the room

the walkable are

too much noise from the vehicles on the road

Would go again

Angithi at the front desk is very kind and nice. I was out of cash; the nearby cash machines were obviously out of service; and not even McDonald’s accepts foreign credit cards. Angithi gave me her last money to buy a meal. Of course I paid her back… but that’s beyond the point: I am extremely thankful for this ray of sunshine in a country where most people were not very friendly to the only tourist / white person walking around

Good

I think you get more than your money worth for the price..

When we booked it says that breakfast was included and they had a pool. However, when we got the it was never the case.

When I first stayed here in November 2024, I found the Spanhoek to be a reasonable cheaper alternative to the Palacio: rooms well-kept, housekeeping efficient, and relatively quiet at night despite its location at a busy intersection. This time, things were different: due to Emancipation Day celebrations, it was very noisy during the day and at night, with noise levels also affected by activity at the casino across the road. The cheaper price tag also seems to have attracted a lower-end clientele, with excessive noise coming from nearby rooms at all hours. Housekeeping was in disarray: sometimes I had to ask for towels, and every day I had to ask for toiletries, even though I had clearly run out. Supplies would come in drinks and drabs over the course of the day (and evening), and my room was cleaned at random times during my stay (or not at all). Though well-meaning, the housekeeping staff found it very difficult to communicate with me (and I with them) due to the language barrier. Overall, the Spanhoek needs to sharpen up its game.

It is uniquely located in the heart of town

The view was amazing.

It was an amazing experience. It was clean and the staff was very nice

Great stay, loved it. Would definitely be back

I was in the city surrounded by everything I needed

Beds were dirty

really nice and convenient. Only thing was not pleasing is that the place need better cleaning and sanitation since mosquitoes was around and in the room. And the could add breakfast etc since the are no on site meals but that was solved since the are lots of food places around. I did enjoy that its easily accessible to shopping, site seeing etc

Very clean, friendly staff , accessible to shopping area located in the city
