Having travelled extensively, it is a delight to experience this world class boutique hotel in an exquisite setting in Franschhoek, South Africa. Although so many special touches, the key differentiator is the staff - welcoming, helpful, thoughtful but never intrusive - simply amazing. We shall be back!

We had the pleasure of staying st Akademie, it was just perfect! From the beautiful room with all a person could possibly need, to the wonderful staff who assisted when we fancied a swim at 23h00 and fantastic food! Its walking distance from the main road. You will most definitely be seeing us again!!

We have stayed in a lot of hotels but none have the attention to detail as Akademie and the ability to make you feel like you’re the only one in the hotel. Declan made us feel like we were at home, but we never felt like he was around haha it was the best of both worlds. The location of Akademie is great, it’s a couple of streets back from the restaurants and bars so you don’t hear any noise in the rooms or the accommodation general areas. It’s very safe, we walked around at night after dinner and back to the accommodation with no issues. The true test of a great accommodation is would you go back, absolutely yes from me! We will be back. Thank you Declan and the Akademie team. Chris & Rose

Our second visit to this fabulous hotel. Not a thing is left out here, every single detail is thought of and taken care of by Declan and his fantastic team. We had said we never like to go back in case something isn’t as good but this was even better than before. We loved every minute and will most certainly be booking again sometime in the hopefully not too distant future. This is truly a place to come and feel relaxed and at home the second you arrive.

Our second visit to Akademie Street Boutique Hotel in Franschhoek - Declan and the team so impressed us on our first visit that we knew we would return. The attention to detail is excellent and nothing is too much trouble with some lovely touches. The general atmosphere is calm, elegant and efficient and the staff are professional and friendly. We will definitely return and another plus is the close proximity to the shops, restaurants etc although set back two streets so lovely and quiet too.

We had a perfect stay thanks to Declan an his team who looked so well after us. The breakfast was simply gorgeous and through the whole day Declan or a member of his team was present to arrange things and to care about us. When we will come back to Franschoek the Akademie Street will be the first option on the list of places to stay.

Wow! This boutique hotel has thought of every detail. From helping us arrange our wine tour through Stellenbosch (Jordan winery picnics 10/10) to the amenities throughout, we didn’t want to leave. The hotel, the food, the staff and our room were just perfect! 100% recommend a stay here!

Another fantastic holiday in a superb hotel. The moto of this hotel is “A home from home” and as ever it certainly lives up to this in every respect. The welcome is as warm and friendly as you become accustomed to expect..it never fails to deliver. Declan and his team are simply excellent…hospitable, informative, and courteous. Most definitely a multi award winning hotel and a must to visit!!
