"The grand old lady finally has her new dress on" is what the locals said when The Royal was refurbished and upgraded to the highest standards in 2005/2006. After serving more than seven generations, the oldest hotel of the Western Cape occupies a very special place in the hearts of both local and international visitors.

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.

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.

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

We started our visit with scones and coffee at the fire in the historic lounge of the hotel. The pub and dining areas were so inviting that we stayed for lunch. The food was delicious, and reasonably priced for such an opulent setting. Service was friendly and the facilities clean. We will definitely be back to sample the accommodation. A definite must to visit when in Riebeek Kasteel.

Past its best. Very comfy bed and linen. Bathroom well used. Room decor and furnishings quite tired. Nice open/real fires. Staff all very young. Odd that no condiments available at breakfast. Would I go again? Probably not. Now trying to fill this to 200 words….

On arrival we were upgraded as they were working on solar panels. So that is goodnfor the future of load shedding at the hotel. Room was large. Bathroom even better. Shower and bath separate. Awesome. Service was good and pleasant. Breakfast on. The verandah overlooking the main road was even better.

Tarryn was super friendly, whether for g&t's in the afternoon or dinner. All food, great value. The bar platter was really nice, as well as the squid starter. We didn't stay here as we thought the rooms were overpriced for such a small village, but the bar, stoep and restaurant was well worth the visit.

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.

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.
