Great location

Fantastic location, easy access to the hustle of the town, but also very quiet. Fantastic service however the cleaning staff are keen to get in and do their job so don't count on sleeping in after 10. Rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable, however, the "facilities" in the bathrooms seemed a bit cramped up to the wall but still useable, shower was good size

Ok

Pretty basic apartment-style studio in downtown Stellenbosch. Not really the best setup; the bathroom was a bit cramped and the shared courtyard was tiny. The reception was unattended (there are two Vibe locations, one of which is the "main" one; I was in the other one), and the entry buzzer just went to a voicemail, hence I ended up waiting about 20min just to get in. I recommend contacting them prior to arrival to ensure there is someone there to let you in, The room itself was fine, with a nice comfortable bed and nice and clean. The included breakfast is actually just a voucher for the coffee shop across the street, but the food and selection there was pretty good.

Super Apartment mit nettem Personal

Zentral gelegen, modern eingerichtet, alles was man braucht. Frühstück gab es bei uns im gegenüberliegenden Mugg&Beans als Voucher. Man kann dort gegen einen kleinen Aufpreis von der gesamten Karte wählen.
