After seven days of hiking we booked our last night in utter luxury. Mont d'Or 's webpage was actually an understatement of just how beautiful and well kept a hotel it is! It is a MUST use when you spend time in Clarens. The rates are reasonable, the food exquisite and the service way above the norm!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, everything was perfect, the room was clean and comfortable, with crisp white linen, electric blankets, underfloor heating, complimentary sherry, chocolates, tea, coffee, fresh milk. and delicious breakfasts cooked by Karel the owner. The location is great, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. The view from our balcony of the mountain range was majestic. Harley the resident dog who keeps a close eye on Karel is delightful. Thank you Karel for a wonderful stay and going the extra mile for us. We will be back. The Barkers.

I have stayed at the Road Lodge, Bloemfontein on a number of occasions when taking an early flight from Bloemfontein airport. It is well located with secure parking. There service is always friendly and professional. Meals are available but I did not partake on this trip as I arrived too late and left too early.

Disappointing stay

Reviewed By 191samk

I booked the apartments for the weekend mistakenly thinking I can have a quiet relaxing weekend. But nope! Very disappointed with the place. First apartment I went into, I did not like and asked for a change to get the river facing one. From the broken (torn doormat) I should have known what was waiting for me inside. Dirty cushions, not so fresh smelling room or towels, lack of sound proofing (my neighbours could have as well been in my living room) or the 9 am sounds and noises and loud cleaners talking very loudly amongst themselves. Poor quality furniture, carpets the list goes on. It’s more suitable to probably young students who may not mind this, not a getaway for a weekend. Poor check in services had to look for someone to check me in. I paid for two nights and left after one did not even bother to ask for a refund for my early checkout. The one bright spot is the restaurant at the hotel side. That really had great fresh tasting food. That said I will not be back.
