Bartholomew's Loft isn’t just accommodation – it’s a standout experience that blends historic charm, practicality, and warm hospitality, making it my go-to recommendation for anyone visiting Grahamstown. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or for a cultural trip, this converted gem checks every box with style and ease.
Unbeatable Central Location with Historic Charm
Nestled in the heart of Grahamstown’s historic Artificer’s Square – the original 1820 settler artisan quarter – the property oozes character from its restored colonial architecture, wagon stones, and cobbled gutters. Its location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to the city centre, 600m from the Cathedral in High Street, and 1km from Rhodes University, putting shops, restaurants, and landmarks within easy reach. Even better, the lively restaurant and bar scene is a short stroll away, while Sunshine Coast beaches are a manageable 37-mile drive for a day trip.
Spacious, Well-Equipped Accommodation for Every Group
The loft’s converted spaces are a highlight – once an old church, the property features double-volume living areas, exposed timber beams, and high ceilings that feel airy and welcoming. The self-catering units are incredibly spacious (the main loft sleeps up to 6 adults) with open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen areas perfect for groups. The fully equipped kitchens come with stoves, microwaves, fridges, and kettles, making meal prep a breeze. Beds are comfortable (some with electric blankets for chilly nights), and rooms include thoughtful touches like heaters, irons, and free toiletries. Private courtyards and garden access add to the peaceful vibe, while secure off-street parking gives peace of mind.
Warm Service & Thoughtful Amenities
The staff and hosts go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Check-in is seamless, and their friendliness and willingness to help – from offering local tips to accommodating last-minute stay extensions with discounted rates – truly stands out. The amenities are tailored to comfort: free Wi-Fi throughout, DStv for entertainment, daily housekeeping, and a lovely outdoor swimming pool to relax in. For those on the go, breakfast is available (with a “breakfast to go” option), and dinner can be arranged upon request. Laundry facilities and a 24-hour front desk add extra convenience.
Exceptional Value in a Unique Setting
What makes Bartholomew’s Loft truly special is its balance of uniqueness and value. You’re not just booking a room – you’re staying in a piece of Grahamstown’s history, with all the modern comforts you need. The property’s cleanliness (rated 8.9 by guests), comfort (8.6), and value for money (8.5) speak for themselves, making it affordable without compromising on quality. It’s equally suited for families, friend groups, or visitors attending events like the Standard Bank National Arts Festival.
For anyone visiting Grahamstown, Bartholomew’s Loft is a no-brainer. It combines historic charm, unbeatable location, spacious accommodation, and warm service – all at a great price. I’ve recommended it to friends and family and will always choose it for my return trips to this lovely city.

Starting from the front desk they're so welcoming, the rooms are clean, everything else was just too good to be true.
Thanks you,

A Pleasant Stay at Carslogie House, Port Elizabeth
We arrived late at night and were warmly welcomed by the gentleman on duty, who was friendly and helpful, making us feel immediately at ease after a long drive. Our room was spacious, clean, and overlooked the pool, creating a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. All the facilities were excellent, and we appreciated being able to safely park our rental car inside the property.
Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with a good variety of options and a thoughtful vegetarian choice for me. The setting was calm and comfortable, perfect for starting the day.
The only issue we experienced was during breakfast service, where the staff seemed more focused on the larger groups and overlooked us for quite some time. We eventually had to go to the kitchen to place our order. It wasn’t a major problem, but it did stand out given how excellent everything else was.
Overall, we had a very good stay at Carslogie House. The accommodation, location, and overall hospitality were all great.

Where to start...
I had high expectations for Radisson Blu, but my stay was pretty disappointing.
First off, check-in was delayed because the rooms weren’t ready, and even after waiting, they still weren’t properly cleaned. There was even an empty milk carton left on the desk, which didn’t inspire much confidence in their housekeeping.
The room itself was pretty dull, aside from the great view. It also needed some serious maintenance—bits of wood were coming off, and the paint was peeling in places.
The biggest issue was the water from the taps—it came out brown, which was a major red flag.
Overall, for the price, I expected much better. I wouldn’t stay here again when there are likely better options out there.

Lize0074 Stars – Great One-Night Stopover!
Exactly what we needed for a quick overnight stay. The staff were absolutely amazing—so welcoming and helpful—and the food was delicious! Big shoutout to the bartender, who made watching the FIFA final a blast; great company and great vibes.
Location is perfect too—walking distance to the Hole in the Wall, and we even had some cute local doggies tag along for the stroll!
A couple of minor hiccups: the bed was a little squeaky, and the bathroom window didn't have a handle to close properly. Nothing major, just small things that could use attention.
Overall, a solid stay with fantastic service. Would recommend for a short trip!

We have stayed here many time because it is a beautiful building in an excellent location. The general staff are outstanding and the food and rooms are amazing. Unfortunately the front desk is just not the same as the rest of the experience. When I wrote in to ask for an early check in I got no reply- on my arrival I asked about this and was told because I got no reply that means it’s fine. I find this odd as I explained that we were arriving after a three part flight over 18 hours. We have stayed here at least 3 other times and my comment for each time would be pretty much the same - I feel the front desk could do better to Mach their rest of the experience.

The Premiere ICC Hotel is a fantastic choice, boasting a perfect location and amazing views that truly elevate the experience. The stay was enjoyable, but there were a few areas for improvement:
Missing Amenities: We had to call to request gowns and slippers, which should ideally be provided automatically. One of the robes was still moist, suggesting it hadn’t been dried properly.
Heating Issues: The heating either wasn’t working or we couldn’t figure out how to operate it, which made the room uncomfortable at times.
Despite these issues, the hotel’s strengths make it a solid option, and with a little attention to detail, it could be even better.

I have become used to warm and welcoming service across South Africa but this takes the crown.
Storms river is a beautiful place in a beautiful part of the world and this guest lodge was a great choice
The owner took the time to know my plans, gave excellent advice and even organised a shuttle for me.
Very comfortable and quiet place for sleep and relax.
Breakfast is generous, fresh and delicious. Great range of choices. Even does an excellent cappuccino!!!
Highly recommended

Barefoot에서의 숙박은 절대적으로 훌륭했고 우리는 재산과 번잡함에서 벗어난 사실을 좋아했습니다! 직원들은 환상적이며 가족처럼 느끼게 합니다! George, Olivia, Kellen 및 James에게 소리를 지르십시오! 숙소에서 우리의 게임 드라이브는 James가 다양한 야생 동물, 식물 생명 및 자연 보존에 대해 잘 알고 있는 경험 중 최고였습니다. 우리는 확실히 다시 방문할 것입니다. 우리를 집처럼 느끼게 해주셔서 감사합니다!

테킬라 일출이 좋다! 잠자리에 들기 전에 온수 서비스를 확인하고 일찍 일어나서 실망했고 목욕을 할 뜨거운 물이 없다는 것을 알았습니다. 빌라는 Addo와 실제로 가깝지 않은 산까지 있습니다. 아침 식사는 괜찮 았고 사파리 경험은 하루 종일 많은 비용이 들었지만 괜찮 았지만 많은 다른 동물, 많은 얼룩말을 실제로 볼 수는 없습니다.
