The room was comfortable with all one needs. The walls between the rooms must be made of paper as the neighbour kept me awake the entire time with a blaring television. I felt so uneasy ordering room service as the staff come in two's as they must feel threatened whenever they deliver room service. I started to become concerned about... More

I had to stay there for business. Never again! The room was not very clean, the front desk staff is not concerned at all by the guests' presence (I wouldn't even mention the guests' requests) and incompetent (it is the first time that I am told that internet is sold out!!!), the place is really noisy,... There are probably much... More

After reading previous reviews, I was scared! However, as I was already booked there, I decided to give it a go anyway. It is conveniently situated just off the N3 which suited us as we were competing in the Midmar Mile the next day. Check in was quick and friendly. The room turned out to be very nice, well decorated... More

Had to stay there for busniness. Not again. was not very clean, it is really noisy, the front desk staff was rude, housekeeping came into my room without knocking. And then to eat breakfast in a Fish restaurant is not funny.

This hotel is utterly appalling, one of the worst I have ever stayed in. Incredibly incompetent staff (no-one had any idea how we could access internet) and dreadful breakfast service; very noisy and chaotic; tasteless furnishing; poor quality rooms and poor housekeeping. But the worst thing was the constant visits and knocking on doors by women during the night -... More

The facilities at this hotel are good. The service however is appalling. When we fisrt checked in the room looked as if it hadn't been cleaned, with dirty shoe prints on the bathroom floor. In addition, the sheets had clearly not been changed from the previous customer, but unfortunely I only realised this the next day when I opened up... More

we arrived @ golden horse, having booked 2 rooms for 1 night. They had booked only 1 room. Luckily we were able to get that fixed. the desk staff were humourless and incompetent. The newly spruced up hotel looked quite spiffy with lots of bright coulours and beautiful decor. I was amazed at how lovely the rooms were -they had... More

Being at the hotel I had the chance to try out a number of the restaurants that the hotel offers. Ola I found to be value for money especially if you have children. John Dory was great except for the fact that the sushi bar tends to only stock the more expensive variety leaving the veg section out almost completely.... More
