I had a truly wonderful experience at this boutique hotel. The staff made my stay feel extra special with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The room was not only spacious but also beautifully designed, offering a luxurious retreat after a long day of exploring. Complimentary drinks and snacks were such a nice surprise! The location was perfect for wine tasting, but I did wish there were more family-friendly options. Regardless, the overall experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend it.

Akademie Street Hotel is simply enchanting and provides a unique boutique experience in Franschhoek. The accommodations are exquisite, featuring elegant design and thoughtful amenities that enhance the stay. Both the hospitality from Declan, Stacie, and Paul and the location-just a short stroll from excellent dining options-contribute to a truly memorable experience. However, with such an exceptional atmosphere and service, I found it hard to leave, wishing I could have stayed longer.

My stay at Akademie was nothing short of blissful. From the welcoming atmosphere created by the remarkable staff to the beautiful and well-thought-out accommodations, every inch of this place exudes comfort and style. Breakfast each morning was an absolute highlight, and the pre-dinner drinks were a delightful touch. It's situated in a gentle, quiet part of town, just a stone's throw from shops and restaurants, which made it incredibly easy to explore. Everything felt so generously catered for, but if I had to find a downside, it would be hard to choose since my experience was so fantastic!
