This weekend I had the pleasure of spending an evening with my family at the Doubletree Hilton, Upper Eastside, Woodstock. Their restaurant, Liberty’s, recently had a seasonal menu change and we were invited to experience the new culinary offerings first hand.
The friendly staff welcomed us at reception with warm chocolate chip cookies and gave us the key to a very spacious Twin Deluxe room on the 4th floor, complete with an extra kids bed for my daughter.
At 18h30 we went downstairs to Liberty’s Restaurant, where we had a fantastic dinner. Below is our experience in pictures. What impressed me a lot was that this restaurant runs seven days a week from 07h00-23h00, also doing room service to the hotel. The staff seemed relaxed and came across as professional, friendly and in charge at all times. They cater for kids too as there are many families staying over, so yes, there is a great kid’s menu complete with crayons and activities.
Our stay at the Doubletree Hilton, Upper Eastside, was seamless. What a delightful way to spend some time in the Mother City – Woodstock is surrounded by beautiful art & furniture shops and the famous Woodmill Market is just around the corner. Table Mountain provides a dramatic backdrop to the hotel entrance and from some of the rooms you can see as far as the harbour.
Everything about our room was great: from the carpets to the bedding, the thoughtful lighting, the privacy and muted sound, the bathroom mirror’s lighting, the lovely soap and shampoo (really nice), and the fabulous shower head that is as wide as a dinner plate.
The breakfast staff were also very friendly and I want to make a special mention of the lady frying the eggs (and the pancakes etc.) at the hot section: her warm smile and welcoming nature was fabulous, even though some of the guests didn’t return the greeting (I hope it just got lost in translation with some of the international guests). She is a complete star!
I can highly recommend a stay-over and dinner at the Doubletree Hilton Upper Eastside & Liberty’s Restaurant. Choose between tapas, wraps, paninis, prego rolls, salads and burgers, or opt for a multi-course meal from the starters and mains options, also including pasta and vegetarian options with many dessert choices. See the dishes that we experienced below.
