I have now been to the Alphen Hotel on several occations, and am getting the impression that they do not know what they are doing. The service is apallingly bad, the place is not clean as ther is cobwebs every where and clearly no supervision of any kind. On two occations I was there with guests for lunch, and on... More

The newly renovated hotel boasts the coolest bar, overlooking gorgeous gardens and pool. Its outside and really chilled. Have to be there at sunset. The hotel also hosts the five rooms restaurant, which takes full advantage of the grand old rooms, with cutting edge decor, service and menu. It's not the cheapest or best restaurant this side of the mountain... More

Decided to have breakfast at the Alphen's Cafe Restaurant this morning with my family. We arrived early to avoid the sunday lunch crush which was a good idea as we still managed to get a parking space right outside. When we asked to be seated outside they said they where fully booked but i noticed half of the tables empty.... More

We dined in the fine dining restaurant attached to this hotel recently. There is a great buzz about it. The food is great and the service very attentive. We loved it. Fully recommend it and the cocktails are super..

We had dinner at the Alphen's restaurant. The food was good, aside from the steaks, and the bill was high. What was worst however was that our card was taken away from our table. A few days later the bank rang from England to say it had been cloned. We only used the card once in South Africa - at... More

We ate at the outside cafe restaurant 2 years ago and had very good food, service and good value. However, after its recent revamp we decided to visit again. What a disapoin tment, appaling service, bland food and hellishly expensive, R120 for fish and chips, a joke for a cafe.

Enjoyed a few peaceful nights in the Alphen. Had a large room with two bathrooms! Service at breakfast was somewhat leisurely (but friendly), but we were on holiday Some rooms looked a little tired, including the pool, however the pool was quiet and the (clean) water welcome in the hot weather. Outdoor bar / terrace was also enjoyable.
