Bartholomew's Loft

Grahamstown


Called to complain about the state of the accommodation and the lady cleaning came the next day to do a better job. I like that it was mostly private and very peaceful and that it was conveniently located near all the shops.

Disliked  that It was filthy when we got there. In the surface it looked clean, but on finding a couple of spiders realised that it was actually really filthy. Had to go buy cleaning stuff and scrub the place down to ensure that we did not get any nasty surprises at night. Also bought our own linen to sleep in (an expense that we did not budget on), because the linen and towels looked and smelled really bad. And the bathroom/toilet situation is just too weird 

Not clean

The house is quite beautiful and needs deep cleaning.  Our linen was dirty and had marks on them. There was dust not just under the bed but all over the house even on the tables.

We complained to the manager that worked that night and he was kind to change our sheets the very same night

Bueautiful space but extremely filthy

Nice and clean. Great room. Very accommodating service. Very good coffee was provided in the room. Grahamstown (Makhanda) is pretty run down so don't expect too much from the area. Great place to stay for a short stay. 


Good value

My stay at the Bartholomew's loft was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was neat, spacious and comfortable. The place was secure and has a generator for power supply during load shedding.

Lovely little cottage, fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed.
Cute little courtyard accessible through kitchen and bedroom. 
Neat, tidy, conveniently located. 
Friendly, competent, staff. 
Parking available. 

Quant Self Catering Cottage

A great venue for the NAF, close to venues, surprisingly quiet. Met artists and festival goers at breakfast. Electric blanket, huge comfortable bed, fabulous high pressure shower and plenty of space. Tandem parking was tricky one night and breakfast organisation a tad shambolic at times, but it was very busy. Red is a charming host.

Warm and friendly

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.

We had a one night stay at Bartholomews Loft bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Corner house self catering unit. Overall our stay was pleasant. There were a few niggles such as no response to emails sent. Phone calls were answered promptly. Shower drain was blocked and tea and coffee facilities were not seen to before we booked in. The lady at reception however was quick and efficient to rectify the problem. The room itself was very nice and comfortable 

Friendly and helpful

The staff on the phone were exceptionally rude.  Because their card systems doesn’t work properly, they needed to be paid in cash, and made a special point after providing the code and kets rhay I was not allowed to enter the room until this was paid, and quite nasty about it. The bathroom smells strongly of urine all the time, even with the window open (I suspect something is wrong with the plumbing / septic tank).  This is very unpleasant, like having a public bathroom.  It sleeps even beyond the bathroom.  Since there is no ventilation, the place get very hot.  Since are no screens on the windows, when you open them loads of mosquitos get in and make for a very uncomfortable, sleepless night (no mosquito net either).  Don’t waste your money on this one.  To add insult to injury, the owners (Knightsbridge) just Enrique’s me now to say I haven’t paid and my credit card was rejected, after I paid in cash weeks ago.  And asking me for a review here!  Nice work,  Knightsbridge, way to be out of touch.
