My family and I visited the Golden Horse Hotel in Pietermaritzburg for the weekend . The Hotel is unique with the new interior and modern furniture.. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. House keeping staff are very polite and very accommodating and flexible in the times of cleaning our room. The rooms are very clean and the linen white and... More

After reading previous reviews, I was scared! However, as I was already booked there, I decided to give it a go anyway. It is conveniently situated just off the N3 which suited us as we were competing in the Midmar Mile the next day. Check in was quick and friendly. The room turned out to be very nice, well decorated... More

Had to stay there for busniness. Not again. was not very clean, it is really noisy, the front desk staff was rude, housekeeping came into my room without knocking. And then to eat breakfast in a Fish restaurant is not funny.

As my title says its really only suitable for gamblers looking for a plsce for some shut eye. Rooms are not worth the money. I live in pietermaritzburg and can honestly say there ar better hotel s or bnbs in the vicinity.

This hotel is utterly appalling, one of the worst I have ever stayed in. Incredibly incompetent staff (no-one had any idea how we could access internet) and dreadful breakfast service; very noisy and chaotic; tasteless furnishing; poor quality rooms and poor housekeeping. But the worst thing was the constant visits and knocking on doors by women during the night -... More

The facilities at this hotel are good. The service however is appalling. When we fisrt checked in the room looked as if it hadn't been cleaned, with dirty shoe prints on the bathroom floor. In addition, the sheets had clearly not been changed from the previous customer, but unfortunely I only realised this the next day when I opened up... More

we arrived @ golden horse, having booked 2 rooms for 1 night. They had booked only 1 room. Luckily we were able to get that fixed. the desk staff were humourless and incompetent. The newly spruced up hotel looked quite spiffy with lots of bright coulours and beautiful decor. I was amazed at how lovely the rooms were -they had... More

Being at the hotel I had the chance to try out a number of the restaurants that the hotel offers. Ola I found to be value for money especially if you have children. John Dory was great except for the fact that the sushi bar tends to only stock the more expensive variety leaving the veg section out almost completely.... More

I stayed here on business. A word of advice: If you stay here, expressly request a room near the horse race course and far from the casino or parking lot!! For three nights, I was initially booked into a room that was practically situated on the casino floor. Sounds of jingling, whooping jackpot machines and piped music, combined with the... More
