What guests loved the most

“Nice vintage decoration Large room. Well situated.”

, Spain

“To sleep into te old Pilgrim's rest BANK OFFICE, in a room totally furnished as into early '900, makes the experience. The rest of the hotel remains in the same feeling and vibe. Simply adorable. Staff super, restaurant connected with good food. of course the hotel does not pretend to be a modern, fully serviced one, so there are some services missing (wifi in rooms, phones, tv) but you don't stay therein looking for that..”

, Italy

“Staff really tried to make our stay positive. Beds were very comfortable. Inside interior nice and clean but furniture requires re-upholstering. Outside and gardens require attention! Nice fireplace going in the bar - pity smoking is allowed inside!”

, South Africa

“Bed was comfortable and there were extra blankets if needed. Room was very large and spacious. Off-street parking was easy to get to and there was plenty of it. Staff were very friendly and helpful.”

, Netherlands

“Really typical cottage in a nice atmosphere. Breakfast and dinner are very good.”

, France

“The Victorian mining glam. we didn't like the first room, so they changed it and arranged for me to have a bar fridge in the room. 😊 Room was charming and romantic. ”

, South Africa

“We enjoyed staying in an historic cottage in the quaint museum town of Pilgrim's Rest.”

, Namibia

“The reception staff went (Derrick) went out of his way to look for a room that suited us. Very pleasant all off the time.”

, South Africa

“We really enjoyed our stay at The Royal Hotel Pilgrims Rest, we got the banker house and was very nice. Breakfast was good with homemade scones. The location is good, but Pilgrims Rest is small, so is OK. Perfect stop before Sabie or Graskop and is a beautiful small town if you like old towns and antique items and furniture etc.”

, Argentina

“The kitchen staff came out and sang in the restaurant in the evening. The room was across the road, but so cosy and a period bath perfect after long drive.”
