Good value, good location, somewhat aged. Pros: Easy parking, seamless check-in, lovely staff, excellent sauna experience, delicious breakfast. Cons: A lot of stairs (not disabled friendly if you're disabled), our room was dark, the bedside lamps didn't work, a shortage of plug outlets for electronic devices, and the hotel could use a modernisation, though it is perfectly good and clean despite showing its age.

A lovely hotel with a oul

I was quite often in Wilderness and looked at this wonderful hotel. Now I‘ve stayed here and I really enjoyed it. There is only one little - point. My bed in room no. 166 is a little bit too short for my length, but I slept really good. Friendly staff, good breakfast and a fair price = good value for the money

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

We booked an 84m2 suite with a king sized bed. It was the night before a 21km run, and sleeping well was critical. We receive two tiny adjoining rooms with a double bed. I am too tall for a double bed as my feet hang off the bottom and cannot sleep on a double, which is why we paid extra for the king bed which we did not receive.

Although the hotel does need work, I found the hotel clean and comfortable. The room air conditioning was excellent as was the wifi, shower and bedding. They serve an excellent buffet breakfast.

Old hotel that is a little outdated - no elevators - making moving luggage a challenge. There was a plant around the property that gave off a bad musty smell during this time of year. Noticed the smell in other areas around Wilderness, so it may have not been addressable. Breakfast was great, pool was nice. Wish it had a hot tub.

Very unhygienic & uncomfortable stay

Hi, this is more of a 2.5 star hotel, the pictures on the website are very deceiving. We had entered to a very old setting, check-in was quick, breakfast was decent however the rooms are very uncomfortable & unhygienic - we had found spiders & spider webs in the corner of the rooms, the rooms are also infested with ants, they attack any food stuff lying around. Very disappointed, don't think I will ever consider revisiting this hotel.

Liked: Amenities

The rooms were a bit dated. The key cards stopped working and had to be reprogrammed every day which was annoying. My sister didn’t have hot water for 6 out of the 7 days we stayed and reception promised to resolve it but didn’t. My sister asked for her room not to be cleaned as she didn’t want her stuff being moved around but they cleaned 6 out of the 7 days even though they were reminded every day. Bit of a shame really that the promises made weren’t honoured

My business and I use this Hotel at least 2 - 3 nights a month. The Hotel is generally great and staff friendly except this time. It is unreal how one person can make such a difference, and will contribute to your business decisions going forward. I made the mistake of asking for 2 rooms to be processed through one transaction and the utter bad attitude and generally reprehensible behaviour received from Olivia at the front desk was a true reflection of an individual that should not be in Hospitality!!! Unfortunate that one individual can ruin an otherwise great experience and ensure no future business to the hotel.

Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis ist in der Umgebung unschlagbar und war der Grund dafür das wir die Unterkunft gebucht haben. Das Gebäude, welches mal ein Luxus Hotel war, ist in die Jahre gekommen, auch wenn die Zimmer und Flure Aufstand der Technik gehalten worden, merkt man einfach das es ein sehr altes Gebäude ist. Die Zimmer sind dunkel aber trotzdem gemütlich. Das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich und es ist alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Wir würden wieder kommen!
