The Garden Venue Hotel

I did not enjoy the stay. I had to ask 3 times for an iron. Other guests did not follow the rules wrt noise which went on till after 12, inconsiderate of other guests and the staff did nothing to address this, so overall not a nice stay.

I loved the venue from the entrance, it was really aesthetically pleasing.

It was just noisy until late at night.

To be honest we will definitely NOT book here again or attend a function here again. We only booked here as a friend was having a function here and we did not want to drive home after the function late at night. The rooms have no air conditioning, it is winter and the rooms are very cold. Their was a wall heating panel which was cracked in half and thus dangerous to use. No minibar in the room. A tray with coffee and tea in the room. No bottle water in rooms. No telephone in the rooms either so you have to walk to reception if you wanted anything. The bathroom ceiling shows some mold and looks very warned down. The bath and shower mats were not clean either. They only supplied a small bar of soap at the basin and no other shampoo or toiletries available either. The rooms also do not have a dressings table or hairdryer to use so we ended up with wet hair in this cold weather. The breakfast was a disappointing experience as the food was cold plus it is very limited. They do not cater for vegetarians at all. When asking for extra hash browns as a vegetarian does not do bacon, sausages etc you can’t have as we were told they only cater for one per person and even if you don’t eat the rest of the stuff you cannot ask for more of the other breakfast stuff. The drinks from the bar was also extremely high priced as paying over R30 for a 200ml soda is ridiculous to say the least. The grounds and gardens are pretty but will not stay here ever again.

we used the place mainly to sleep over as we have spend most of our time at silver star casino. the beds was comfortable and the breakfast was great.
