Once again visited Pietermartizburg to work with Schools and my friend Anash had arranged my stay at the Ascot Inn. Been since 09 that last visited but same quality and hospitality awaited me there. Two young ladies at the front desk were delightful, and fully enjoyed our conversations and their helpfulness. Only had dinner one night, prime rib and roast... More

They host the Christmas party and the salads, dessert etc was outstanding. They are so accommodating when we arrange a conference/training or special function for BNI - that I can say they are amazing to work with,... More

Fantastic service, super staff, delightful rooms with fresh and clean linen, amazing bar, buffet breakfast and lovely dinners in the most beautiful garden setting. Sparkling pool area and even laundry! What more could we ask for?Thank you Ascot you outdo yourselves every time.

We visited Ascot Inn when our kids were ten years old now they are teenagers. The last time we were here the daughter was sick of diarhoer because of filthiness. Toilets are just close by your head and floors have carpets that smells like rotten fish or open wounds from dogs. Walls are a reminder of stone-age. Windows are so... More

Couldn't believe the excellent customer service and great value for money. After 5 hours of driving with a 2 yr old, we were desperately calling inns and hotels trying to find a bed for the night and some food. Out of about 10, Ascot Inn was the only one to offer both a restaurant and two separate bedrooms. we called... More

Stayed for 3 nights. Small rooms - know it was a stable but that novelty wears off when you have no space to put your suitcase. At almost R800 per night, I really expect good, fluffy and NEW linen. Little chocolate on bed at arrival & at least a small long-life milk sachet - no Cromora please! Beautiful gardens and... More

I stayed here for 2 nights while doing a conference at the conference center there. The rooms are very basic, but comfortable (and definitely bigger than my image of a horse stable ;) Basic en-suite bathroom with stall shower. The TV screen was quite small (smaller than my laptop screen!) but room was equipped with air conditioner which can act... More

Delightful evening's entertainment with a veritable who's who of world travellers in the pub which closed only when we left. Large well kept spacious gardens. My umpteenth return trip - Always a pleasure.

I've had the pleasure of using Ascot Inn a few times in the past and I always enjoy it. The staff is always friendly and so are the guests. Nothing nicer than coming back from a hard day’s work, to have a sit down at the bar and enjoy a relaxing drink with people you can talk to. As a... More

In March 2012, Pietermaritzburg hosted the Midlands Indoor Archery Championships. Myself and Several of our club members stayed at Ascot Inn, who made the visit to the "Sleepy Hollow" a memorable one. The rooms were well appointed and comfortable, the staff friendly and the service exceptional. We were spoilt for choice in the restaurant and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in... More
