Akademie Street Boutique Hotel

Nicest best run small hotel i ever stayed in! Great attention to detail, friendly staff, large comfortable suites, private pool and wood burning hot tub and private fire place. Enjoyed it more than the One & Only we stayed in the night before.

Great location and the grooviest spot in town. Declan and his team have created the most divine spaces in this establishment- a pool area that is a haven, numerous comfy nooks and conversational areas but it is the hospitality that ices the cake. The breakfast is next level and the afternoonsies in the Orangerie are perfect. Every detail is considered from napkins to crockery, cushions to sun hats - beautifully curated! Loved it and hated having to check out - great job team, it’s perfect!

This Boutique hotel is superbly fitted out art deco style with the most creative design. Everything has been thought of with regard to comfort and service. Our host Declan made us feel welcome even though we arrived before check in time! The attention to detail is second to none, would definitely stay there again. The location is also a big plus, outside the door parking and a 5 minute walk to restaurants and shops on the Main Street of Franschhoek.

I'm travelling for more than 40 years and stayed in a lot of hotels, but there is no one who you can compete with Akademie Street Boutique in Franschhoek. The Staff and owner Declan strive to deliver absolute perfection. During the whole day we were pampered. You can ask everything and they deliver. The accommodation is about what you want an require as a regular traveller.

Declan and the entire team delivered top level service, beautiful accommodations, and fabulous food. We felt like we were the only guests there (though we were not). They were so helpful and accommodating. This boutique hotel is within walking distance of everything in town. We always felt safe even when walking after dark. We highly recommend staying here!

Our second visit to Franschhoek and what an establishment to find. the visit was short notice and after not being able to find suitable dates elsewhere Akademie Street came up trumps. The hotel is situated in some of the old historic buildings of Franschhoek and during your stay you take a walk through the history with the antique decor. Our suite was simply out of this world, all one could ask for. Complimentary wine and snacks. Daily stocked mini bar. There was even a hot tub. We were looking for a relaxing few days and this was certainly the right place. Declan and his team were simply excellent and the service is personal. We were made to feel at home from the minute we arrive until we left. They really go out of their way to make you feel part of the family at every turn. Breakfasts are well thought out with a wide choice on the menu, from fruits and yoghurts to a full english. The egg benedict is also superb. The staff are really friendly and very attentive. Although the hotel does not have an evening restaurant. there is an absolute gem provided in terms of wine and snacks accompanied by a pianist so you can have a per dinner drink, before heading off to the culinary delites of Franschhoek. Would definitely recommend the Akademie StreeT Boutique Hotel if you are thinking of staying in Franschhoek. The awards as you enter have really been earned and they live up to everyone of them. Here hoping they go from strength to strength in the future. We will certainly want to return.
