The peppergrove mall is actually a shopping complex not a mall, with limited stores. The road needs to be maintained the ia a lot of pothholes from the main road to reach the peppergrove mall. The donkies and cows that roaming around need to be kep safe as they can cause accident

Roads very badly potholed.
Roads very badly potholed. Town looks very run down - very sad to see, especially by way of contrast with my memories from the early 70s. Municipal funds clearly not being allocated to improving (or even maintaining) municipal services, but no surprises there ... The Fork & Dagger restaurant was a very pleasant surprise - great food, great service.nickSouth Africa - 4.0Scored 4.0

Not exactly the town or city it used to be approximately eight or so years ago. No drinkable water, potholes everywhere without exception. It has gone backward so much that the citizens have nothing to be proud of. Unless an urgent intervention is done to change this decay, they will soon lose the festival goers in the future.

Beautiful historic buildings, feels like Europe.
Beautiful historic buildings, feels like Europe. Loved, loved it. Most of the streets are very clean and lovely. I cannot say enough about the friendliness of the people/residents. We saw smiles everywhere you went. It was the most beautiful thing.Dingiswayo - 4.0Scored 4.0
I was in Grahamstown for work not for leisure.
I was in Grahamstown for work not for leisure. The side roads are full of potholes. I can see that an effort was made to fill the potholes in the main street, but the side streets are in a shocking state. The sidewalks are also very uneven, you need to watch were you are walking the whole time. I heard from the locals that they get water every third day for a few hours a day. Of course they are also getting load shedding. Do therefore make sure you stay in a place with backup water and power. The town is just generally looking very run down.Lunar2South Africa - 2.0Scored 2.0
The place was not well organised.
The place was not well organised. The toilet did not have carpet and air freshener. It was a room for 3 people sharing but they put toiletries for one. Bed rooms didn’t have small carpet the floor is extremely cold. There was coffee and tea ingredients but no kettle to boil water. We were told to organise dinner before 3 to avoid disappointment. But to our surprise we placed an order by 10:30 only to get a call from them to say the chef had an emergency around 5:30. They only had 1 chef that’s my question?magidiSouth Africa

- From £62.63 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 158 reviewsThe staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I had an early checkout on my last day and they walked me through the process of checking out and dropping off the keys. I received an excellent breakfast each morning. The room was clean and spacious. The location is excellent - I used to live in Grahamstown and I would have killed for that kind of access as a student. It's a very short walk to all the restaurants, shops and pubs in town. The free wifi is quite stable - I was able to do a bit of work while I was there.NkosazanaSouth Africa

The rooms were stunningly beautiful and clean, each accompanied by a thoughtful booklet crafted by the hosts, providing valuable insights into Grahamstown. The place exudes tranquility, especially the pool area, where the host generously offered us fruit as we enjoyed their captivating estate. The Wi-Fi is exceptional, paired with DSTV in every room—words fall short; booking with them is a decision you won't regret.
