We stayed one night at Stumble Inn in a private room. The accomodation and facilities were clean and adequate. The staff were helpful and we enjoyed thier knowledge of Stellenbosch.

One of the dirtiest hostels I've ever stayed at and the staff are also very rude, don't care about guests at all.

Clean, neat, well-priced and very friendly and professional service. Brilliant little bar to wind down after a long day. Will go back there any time. Stayed there in Oct 11 and left refreshed and smiling.

This was one of the worst hostel experiences of my life. You would expect a place to be accommodating in case of an emergency, but in this instance, the staff at stumble inn basically told us it was our fault that we had a problem and it wasn't there responsibility to assist us. We locked ourselves out of the room... More

I stayed at Stumble Inn for a couple of nights as part of an overland trip, and it was a welcome break from camping. As backpackers go i'd say it was pretty middle of the road. The dorm was comfortable but the showers were very hit and miss. Some of my fellow travellers got a hot shower, but mine was... More

We stayed here twice this year.. once with an overland group for 3 nights... and once on our own for a few nights. Both were fantastic. That being said... if you are looking for a quiet place to stay, this might not be for you. Lots going on and a great common area and kitchen. Although if you have messy... More

To start this review, I would like to say that I am a very reasonable person and I understand and live by the expression "You get what you pay for", but Stumble Inn should definitely be avoided! My Fiancée and I arrived to Stumble Inn for a 4 night stay only to be greeted by one of the most miserable... More
