The Royal Hotel

Hermon

The hotel is a beautiful, colonial style building and the location in the centre of town is great.

The terrace area at the front of the hotel is a lovely spot for food and drinks, and was the highlight of the stay for us. We ate at the restaurant twice for dinner, and it was great both times. Prices are reasonable for both food and drink. The gin selection is huge, but there's no menu so you have to ask about each gin individually (which is a pain for both the customer and staff).

Our room was in the main building and was clean and comfortable enough, but the four poster bed in our room was very hard and made for a pretty uncomfortable nights sleep. Whilst I liked the traditional decor of the room, it was very dark. The shutter doors could be opened for some light, but as the view was onto a wall, it still felt dark. I would stay in a larger room with pond views if I came back.

The a la carte breakfast was tasty, and there were plenty of options (the eggs benedict were delicious). 

The pool deck area was small but perfectly adequate for a dip. Towels are provided, and there are a few comfy sun loungers.

The electricity supply was intermittent and cut out frequently (albeit only for a few minutes at a time, but it was inconvenient nonetheless). There was no loadshedding in the area, so I assume the issue is hotel specific. This made the wifi slightly unreliable.


A lovely stay

Cannot believe that this hotel is a 5 star hotel. Their service is shocking. No drinks menu for the bar - you are expected to stand at the bar and look at hundreds of gin bottles and choose one. Staff are friendly bit useless. On the Patio I had to look for a waiter to serve us and then never saw them again once drink was delivered never saw any staff again. We had to get up and go and find staff to pay our bill. Seriously 5 star rating needs to include quality of service.

Shockingly Poor Service

A great place for a gin and tonic,  very large selection of imported and local south african gins.   Presented as a work of art with complementing fruit garnish.  Sit on the stoop and watch the sun go down.

G&T with a view

We recently booked all 14 rooms at the Royal Hotel for a staff weekend away.  From check in to check out everything was on point.  Dinner excellent - all 16 people found all three courses faultless.  Likewise the breakfasts.  All the staff personable and highly efficient.       

AMAZING WEEKEND 

Sitting on the long steop and enjoy the day - with a gorgeous gin and tonic, prawn tian was delicious, and the fish and chips was a wow - the service a little on the slow side but we were not in a rush so enjoyed the chill time 

relaxed and chilled

The check in process was nice and smooth, the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious with a beautiful bathroom, unfortunately there was no hot water in the shower. Room service was fast but the wifi was slow. The bar and restaurant open till late which worked in our favour. The breakfast is good only ala carte no buffet. The swimming pool is inviting with great views and the fire place in the restaurant comes in handy on cold nights. All in all, our stay was fantastic, a definite must do again.

Cozy Hotel, Good Breakfast

We went for a second visit for high tea as the first one was really great.This time,completely opposite.From the advertised menu, that seemed to have changed,presentation and service,it was just aweful.Had to look for servers 3 to 4 times.Quality of food was not as before.It was supposed to be a double birthday celebration,not so much.At least the company was good and we made the most of it.

High tea,not so much.👿

Wonderful huge rooms, lovely pool, friendly staff.  A lot of lovely restaurants in the area.  Breakfast the next morning at the hotel was 5*.  Well worth a visit, even if it is just to sit on the stoep and drink a gin while the sun sets.

Worth a visit

The lunch was excellent, the prawn tian was the winner dish of the day with the kingkip fish and chips a good second. Service a little on the slow side and the fans no working was disappinting but the food made up for this and the chilled wine

Terrace lunch

Stayed in one of the very spacious garden suites. Extremely comfortable.  Breakfasts were excellent,  good choice.  Dinners on the stoep are first class. Good service.  Although there are umbrellas by the pool, they offer no shade and as the pool is elevated it us a steep climb up to it. Loungers in the garden, at ground level,  so that you could sit in the shade of a tree would be an absolute boon. Rather expensive.
