Thelab Franschhoek

We had a wonderful very romantic long weekend stay at The Lab. The staff were amazing! Just some small issues.

Very Good , all the ai features just didn't work , maby a manual on how to use the room features would be great .

From the minute we arrived, our experience here at theLAB has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff here, Saidy in particular, have presented themselves in a manner that instantly uplifts any individual. As a group of 8 across 3 rooms, they’ve gone above and beyond with everything that they do giving us a truly memorable experience and one that we could not recommend more! The rooms and facilities are in great condition, very spacious and decorated with a chic modern vibe. Breakfast is divine, served swiftly by smiling faces on all staff :) theLAB is worth every star.

Dinah welcomed us with such personalised service, ensuring no stone was unturned for our comfort over our stay… delish breakie. Spacious rooms and hi-tech design with electric blinds and audio cue lighting. Really funky! Thank you The Lab

A perfect spot to come back to after spending the day at the wineries. The staff were fabulous and we enjoyed having a pool. Highly recommend!

Most stupidly designed bedroom - dont stay The issue is with the room. It’s large - but effectively a huge bathroom with a bed in the middle - nothing separated Come in and there’s a bath on the left… then the bed then a small glass screen sticking out no more than 3/4 of the length of the bed and not up to the ceiling with a toilet on the other side. Then a basin then the shower. There is no seating (apart from a low stool opposite the toilet bizarrely) no desk no table. A toilet offering no privacy right next to the bed - nice for the partner remaining in bed whilst it’s in use. The front of the room is all glass lwith a walk way in front. Whilst the glsss is frosted it has clear glass edging and stripes allowing passers by to look in. There is a privacy blind which you can lower electronically but then you can’t access the door. The lighting is also weird. No switches just a remote - not ideal when there are two of you. Toilet area lights up when you walk in this lighting the whole room in the night. Absolute mental design and I would just say the owners should stay there a few nights. Shame as the other facilities and staff were lovely but anyone who thinks that room Is an appropriate design for a hotel needs to be in another business
