ADDITIONAL HOTEL REVIEWS

Golden Gate Hotel Reviews Summary

  • Hotel review by Flip

    Flip

    Disappointing

    Enjoyed it very much and will definitely be back to stay in the area again.

    Pros: The views are breathtaking and the facility is very central to a lot of family activities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We felt safe and enjoyed the braai facilities.
    Cons: The overall condition of the room was poor. The one kitchen cupboards hinge was broken and we did not get a new dishwashing cloth/sponge. The carpets are not tourist friendly and should rather be replaced by something like tiles that could be cleaned better. The sanitary bin in the bathroom was not emptied prior to our stay.

  • Hotel review by Louis

    Louis

    Very Good

    Spectacular view with good enough accommodation

    Pros: The setting is great, the place is clean. Dont expect anything above average but there is nothing to complain about.
    Cons: Everything is ageing a little.

  • Hotel review by Anonymous

    Good

    It was good value for money.

    Pros: The views from our chalet was amazing, the fact that we could have our meals outside while enjoying the sunset was even better. The room had everything that we needed for our stay.
    Cons: The beddings were worn out and the staff didn't bring us fresh towels. There was no phone in our chalet to call the reception if we needed anything. The fact that we had to pay an entrace fee where anyone has access to drive though was not nice, and we didn't like the fact that there was no WiFi at the chalet. Also no shade at the braai areas outside the chalet.

    Pros: Fresh air, cool weather. Beautiful mountains. Nice good rainfall.
    Cons: All was good

  • Hotel review by Sampson

    Sampson

    Pleasant

    We had a wonderful stay. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the view cannot be better!

    Pros: View from our room was amazing! Rooms are standard, but comfortable and could be improved by adding a fan, it can get quite hot in the day. Cable TV was pretty much non-existant and could possibly be upgraded; the area could be the cause of bad signal. There is no wifi in any of the rooms, but cellphone signal is good as well as data signal.
    Cons: Please put a fan in the room and additional plug points so we are able to plug in laptops, etc, not just in the one bedroom.

  • Hotel review by Catherine-anne

    Catherine-anne

    Poor

    Very poor

    Pros: The view
    Cons: Upon check in they claimed we did not have a booking and no longer take bookings made via booking.com even though numerous communications were sent to hotel staff via email and replies received confirming the stay. They claimed the person in emails was a house keeping manager who had nothing to do with reservations. Room was not clean, carpet had a nasty stench. The aircon did not work. The whole hotel smelled of surage waste. Breakfast was not worth the charge at all. Hotel is very over priced and not worth money charged

    Good

    Good

    Pros: Beautiful location.
    Cons: Noisy occupants of the other chalets - especially at night playing loud music out of their cars etc. This is completely unacceptable in a National Park and the hotel did nothing about the noise.

  • Hotel review by Jasmin

    Jasmin

    Poor

    Disappointed

    Pros: The only thing that we enjoyed was the scenery.
    Cons: Chalets toilets were leaking... sewer fumes filled some of the chalets.. bedding odors.. pesticides was all inside the chalets... due to covid we didn't mind cleaning up.. no brooms or mops after several requests we had to eventually go to reception and wait until we could get one. The leaking toilets were not resolved either... certain chalets did not have kettle. I will not recommend any one to book these chalets as they do not meet Cleanliness standards . This venue needs to be rehabilitated . Its unfortunate that with such beautiful surroundings these chalets lack the comfort. Very disappointed.

    Beautiful part of the country. Loved being there.

    Pros: View and setting of the hotel is wonderful. Drives and hikes in the park are good. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms are lovely.
    Cons: Furniture is old and grubby. Rooms and corridors need to be updated and revamped. Breakfast buffet was disappointing as there was always a shortage of some items, particularly the pastries. Rooms were not serviced due to Covid, yet at the breakfast buffet, everyone was using the same tongs and handling the food to help themselves to toast and pastries. A staff member should have been serving these things as they were for the hot foods. Service was very slow in the diningroom. Generally, the price for all meals is overpriced and not value for money at all.
