Robert's Place Paarl

Everything this place was what I was looking for my 4 day stay in Western Cape I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Nothing

The venue is like "home away from home". Clean, cosy, comfortable and friendly environment even for our guests. Loved my room.

The other visitors were lovely people but didn't go to rooms @ 22h00. They chatted until 23h35 at night and the light kept me awake shining into my room from the dining room area. I did fortunately report it after checking out and trust my next stay won't have a repeat of this.

Bed

This was a highly disappointing and unprofessional experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, I rang the bell multiple times with no response and was forced to call the owner before I could gain access. This is completely unacceptable for any accommodation provider. There was a clear lack of respect for basic guest boundaries. The owner smoked freely throughout the property, creating an unpleasant and inappropriate environment. In addition, there was a cricket in the bedroom, which disrupted my sleep for the entire night—something that should have been addressed prior to check-in. The overall management of the stay was intrusive and poorly handled. I was kept waiting while the owner attempted to fix a light in the room, and later, he returned and knocked while I was preparing for bed, which was highly inappropriate and invasive. The most concerning issue was the owner’s conduct after checkout. While I was seated in the dining area waiting for my transport—having travelled from Cape Town for work and visiting Paarl to check on an unwell colleague—the owner attempted to charge me an additional R400 simply for waiting. This felt exploitative and demonstrated a clear prioritization of money over basic hospitality and professionalism. Overall, the property is poorly managed, lacks respect for guest comfort and privacy, and falls far below acceptable hospitality standards. I would strongly caution others before booking here.

It was clean and serene
