Getting there
Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Although the hotel is a little tired and in need of a revamp this was more than made up for by the friendliness of the staff and excellent breakfasts.
We stayed on two occasions at the start and end of our trip to South Africa and on the first occasion we had a large room which was clean and tidy (if a little tatty) and there were niggling things like the toilet not flushing properly.
The second room was much smaller but the beds were very comfortable and most importantly the rooms were kept very clean.
Good value and will definitely go back especially as the location is so good - situated just being the Mount Nelson Hotel

We stayed at this hotel in November 2004 with our 18 month old daughter. The hotel had a great location and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We would certainly stay here again

I see no reviews have been left since Sept 2021. The hotel is under new ownership, and I have to say that we were abit disappointed with our stay. It appears that a number of people are living at the hotel on long term rentals, and although I can not confirm this, that is the impression we got. Very basic room, almost no amenities (two small conditioners instead of a conditioner and a shampoo), beds clean but lots of hair found on the bathroom floor. Very basic local SA TV channels with bad signal that cut out often. Air conditioning that dripped on the floor and left stains. Very run down, cracking walls, peeling paint and not a great smell. Window taped on the edges to stop leaking. Some rice spilt on the hallway floor which was still there in the morning. No breakfast available, not even a morning coffee included in our stay, and for the price we paid we felt that was unreasonable. Came down in the morning to sit outside, and the outside tables were full of empty beer bottles and cigarette butts and food wrappers left everywhere, like no one had cleaned in a while. Just not suitable for a hotel stay, however simple/basic. Dining area, bar etc was completely deserted, only someone at reception and 1 or two people who appeared to maybe be staff but dressed in casual clothing so hard to say. Sadly I would not recommend this hotel, which is unfortunate as I have visited it in years before and it was lovely.

We arrived at the hotel and had an issue with our booking which was NOT the fault of the hotel. They assured us all will be fine and solved the problem very quickly.
Whenever we had any queries, they were eager to help. Nothing was ever too much trouble. All members of staff were very friendly.
We were very impressed with the breakfast menu and took advantage of it. The breakfast staff also helped to surprise my partner with a cake and champagne on his birthday.
I would definitely recommend staying with them and I’d be happy to return.

We were booked into the hotel for a night on our way to Montagu and then another night before flying home. The hotel is in serious need of a revamp. The bathrooms are tired with loose or missing rails, mouldy shower curtains. Carpet throughout are dirty. The reception on our return stay (a Mr Alex or Alexander) suffers from small man syndrome leading to an extremely frustrating stay. Were the hotel not booked and paid for we would have vacated the establishment. The only saving grace was the head chef who made some nice eggs in the morning.

This is one of those awesome unpretentious hotels that I would return to any time. It is quiet and peaceful with lovely surrounds. The place is neat and clean, and the hospitality by the professional staff most welcoming. Our hosts, two gentlemen namely Syms and Theo deserve accolades for their most professional and efficient service. The breakfast was great and the chef friendly and helpful. Everything in the room and en-suite was neat and working well. Thank you and well done! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely adored my entire stay at the Lady Hamilton Hotel. I had a lovely room and my own comfortable space where i never got to feel out of place. This was the perfect place to stay. I also enjoyed a delightful lunch in the restaurant which was mouth watering delicious and good bang for the buck. Thank you once again to all staff who made my stay absolutely memorable. .
