Road Lodge Pietermaritzburg
7.3 (45 reviews)

Road Lodge Pietermaritzburg ★★★

📍 Cnr Hesketh Dr and New England Road, Hayfields, Pietermaritzburg

"Easy and comfortable. Great breakfast. Very kind service."

Golden Horse Hotel
8.1 (2 reviews)

Golden Horse Hotel ★★★★

📍 45 New England Rd, Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg

"I travel on business weekly and always look for a Southern Sun Hotel before any other, I stay at Southern Suns across the country and I must say this is the worst one I have ever encountered. From requesting an iron and ironing board and no one pitching, to calling reception and the phone ringing forever without answer, to the shocking food served at breakfast (probably yesterday's lunch leftovers), to being sent a broken iron and being told there is no other iron so I had to iron with a leaking iron which made my suit and shirt wet. There were so many awful experiences at this Southern Sun, and inexplicably it is more expensive than one of the best Southern Suns in the country (Southern Sun Waterfront - Cape Town). I will definitely not be back. In fact I'm considering cancelling my rewards card and joining Protea card and taking my business there. Unfortunately I had already booked and paid for 5 nights at this Southern Sun, it was an awful experience. I have taken time before completing this survey because I wanted to be as objective as possible but there is no running away from some sad truths. You have a very long way to go as a hotel Southern Sun PMB."

9.4 (105 reviews)

Apartment 7 on Oakleigh ★★★

📍 7 Oakleigh Avenue, Pietermaritzburg

"7 Oakley was selected when we were looking for a convenient place to stayover the night before the Amashova cycle race. The rooms had all the little luxuries ladies appreciate. The owners were super helpful and accommodating. Although the weather was wet and cold we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were able to freewheel down the hill to the race start and our partners were able to have a leisurely start to the day."

79 on Ridge
9.5 (139 reviews)

79 on Ridge ★★★★

📍 79 Ridge Rd, Pietermaritzburg

"I can't put into words the appreciation and gratitude I have for Gys who welcomed me and my Mom into his accommodation. My Mom arrived a few days prior to me due to a family emergency and he was extremely helpful in ensuring she could get to the shops, felt welcomed and comfortable until I could get there. The accommodation was excellent. Spacious rooms with ensuites. Comfortable beds. Totally unique bohemian style, lovely garden to have your morning coffee in or evening drink by the Koi pond. I can't recommend them enough. Will definitely use again in the future if ever needed."

Lexden Guesthouse ★★★★

📍 176 Howick Rd, Pietermaritzburg

"It's a beautiful and warm space, with a great team behind its magic. You feel like you've slipped away to a wonderland."

Golden Horse Hotel ★★★★
"Very well situated hotel. Room was clean with all regular complimentary amenities. Unfortunately breakfast left a lot to be desired. Went in an hour before service was scheduled to end and food was all dry. Looked like it had been overcooked and then left out for a long time before being reheated. Apart from that, the hotel itself was great. Definitely worth recommending, though I would suggest grabbing your breakfast elsewhere."

Redlands Hotel ★★★
"The room was a good size and was clean. Unfortunately it was also very sparsely decorated – having only a single desk chair in a room for two. At the very least I would have expected two lounge chairs so that it is not necessary to lie on the bed in order to watch TV together. Finally, the bedding – while clean – was also looking a little threadbare – particularly the pillow cases. "

Apartment 7 on Oakleigh ★★★
"We have stayed at 7 On Oakleigh many times. The owners are always going beyond giving the best service, even when its short notice bookings they are accommodating. The apartments and beds are very neat and comfortable. The breakfast and dinner meals are as good as you will find in a restaurant. The absolute best B&B in PMB."

79 on Ridge ★★★★
"FANTASTIC! Gys & Denzil are the most gracious hosts. They open their home and their hearts, creating the most hospitable reception with grace and love. From the phonecall at 7pm on the day before arrival making an emergence last minute booking, to our arrival, everything during our stay and up to the last minute of our departure, they were attentive and gracious hosts. This was simply one of my favorite stays. We came for work which was a last minute booking so everything had to be done quick and they made it easy and pleasant. I HIGHLY recommend you pay them a visit! We came as clients and left as friends. I felt like we have known them all our lives. Easy going, comfortable and delightful. WE WILL BE BACK! Thanks for sharing your home and your love with us."
