Pleasant stay
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.

Amazing accommodation
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.

Historical self-catering stay
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.

Pretty pics trick you when booking online!!
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.

Not bad @ All
Maybe you can improve by extending room service, or meals on offer during the cause of the stay.
