Great place to stay. We had plenty of space in our room, and didn't get to use the kitchen area but could prepare a meal very easily! Only complaints are limited parking (otherwise have to park on the street and the area is a bit dodgy), and nothing for load-shedding when it happens. We were completely in the dark. Not even a torch.

Hervorragendes Loft, gemütlich und geräumig, kleiner Pool, aber trotzdem super. Die Altstadt kann man gut zu Fuß erreichen, Supermarkt in der Nähe. Wir konnten aus 4 Zimmern wählen, die Empfangsdame war super nett obwohl Heiligabend war und wir erst recht spät angekommen sind. Sie hat sich trotzdem jede Menge Zeit für uns genommen. Jederzeit wieder wenn wir in der Gegend sind.

Excellent venue. Beautiful wooden floors in an historical building. Safe, quiet,clean and very spacious. Nice kitchen amenities for self-catering. Not far from town but perhaps a bit far for a walk.

The staff at Bartholomew's Loft were extremely friendly and helpful. Due to protests in Makhanda, we were unable to return home so we had to extend our stay and the owner was so generous and offered us a discounted price. The room is also large, has a heater and many other facilities that make the stay pleasant.

It was really an amazing place. Was just there for one night on Business but I have found my home away from home when I am in Grahamstown.

Maybe you can improve by extending room service, or meals on offer during the cause of the stay.

Upon arrival at 2pm no bedlinen because it was wet apparently due to rain the previous day. When linen eventually arrived it was still wet. Bathroom door didn't close properly as it was skew. Struggled to get the outside door locked as it was also skew. Staff was friendly, especially Siphiwe but need to be trained properly. Had to ask for teaspoons, napkins and butter at breakfast. The food was however good. Our room was right adjacent to the street with workmen plastering and hammering right outside our window every day. No curtains only broken blinds and shutters when closed, left us in a dark room. At least it was clean.
