Built around a lovingly restored, turn of the century manor house in leafy 'Embassy Row', in the suburb of Arcadia. Park-like gardens are wonderful for walks and guests are invited to sit back, relax and enjoy the grace and charm of a bygone era. The hotel is situated minutes away from shopping centres with cinemas and restaurants as well as the Loftus Stadium and the trendy suburb of Hatfield.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Courtyard Hotel Arcadia is built around a heritage site under the shade of jacarandas and is well-located to explore Pretoria. The spacious apartments have lounge and dining areas and kitchenettes and felt like more like cosy homes than hotel rooms. See my detailed review on my blog. Link in profile.

What an absolutely fantastic stay at the Courtyard Hotel Arcadia! I stayed for a week and felt so welcomed by all staff I came into contact with, I appreciate every one of them for making my stay so great. Rooms were clean and well appointed, and sleep quality was fantastic. I felt safe and secure at this property even though I was told Arcadia was a bit sketchy. Centrally located in Pretoria, with Union Buildings, shops and cafes close by.

Really nice and cosy familyhotel, big rooms, comfortable bed and super nice staff, also the restaurant is very good, not to big menu but the food was prepared with a lot of love, the pizzas was the best we ever eaten in south africa. we have a late flight home but no problem to have the room until afternoon. The hotel is located in a nice part of pretoria with just 10 minutes drive to the big mall in Pretoria. This hotel is very much value for the prize and higly reccomended

We stayed at Courtyard Hotel Pretoria for 4 nights. We enjoyed our stay. The reception and the restaurant are in the restored building. It was well maintained. Beautiful landscape was around the hotel. Our room was spacious and generally clean but the floor around the kitchenette and the dining table was a bit dirty. The bathroom was needed to be renovated/repaired. Wifi was very smooth, I had no problem to make WhatsApp phone calls. Staff are helpful. This hotel is a smaller size and staff were attentive. I could experience hospitality in South African way, I felt relaxed and staff were super friendly. We also had dinners in their restaurant, not many choices and service was a bit slow, but it was not a problem for us as we were having holiday, didn't mind to wait. We enjoyed the nice classic atmosphere in the main house while waiting for our food. 24 hour security was on site. The hotel is located in the quiet area and embassies are nearby. We felt safe to stay in this hotel. 5 minutes walk to Loftus Park Shopping Centre, supermarkets and several restaurants were there.

Returned to this property after choosing to stay elsewhere in 2018. I realized just how "homey" the Courtyard is. Because we have brought students there several times over the years, the staff welcomed my colleague and spouse back with opened arms. They did all they could to accomodate the students' requests. The rooms are very comfortable and all feature a small kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave as well as dishware. The only challenge we had was with ordering food on the property. It took a long time to get the order and sometimes it was not correct. However, the management did everything possible to "make it right" by apologizing and offering refunds. After a weekend away from the property, students commented on how it felt like coming "home" when we returned to the hotel. Although dining options in the immediate area are limited, the new Loftus Yard (with three restaurants) and Eastwoods Restaurant (opposite corner from Loftus Yard) are a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Definitely recommended for those who need to spend more than a couple of days in Pretoria.

I am a regular visitor to this centrally located hotel and every time I am impressed by it. Very spacious rooms, clean, with a little kitchenette, also with a sitting room, bedroom and en suite bathroom with a shower and a bathtub. The hotel is tranquil with a nice garden and a beautiful, stylish main house where breakfast is served and a separate room where one can sit and relax. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I am already looking forward to my next visit to the Courtyard.

We enjoyed our stay. We had a nice, clean, comfortable room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice place to stay. It had a small pool that was nice to cool off in, although it would have been nicer if the cleaning pipe was removed. But very comfortable sunbeds! I would happily return and stay again.

We stayed here between Christmas & New Year and so maybe not the best experience as much of the government and embassies were closed down. My assumption is that this place mostly caters for business guests given its proximity to the embassy area. Our experience was pretty poor and at times I think we were the only guests there. Many of the staff were very good, some though it felt like it was too much trouble, for example serving breakfast - it wasn’t ready even though we had asked for it and when it was set up it was poor. This contrasts to the check-in that was friendly and the bar food we had when we arrived which was well prepared and every effort made to ensure we had everything we needed. The building is a little dated and the rooms clean but faded....

The main building is pleasant with an old fashioned feel and appeal. We were were in one of the modern bedroom blocks where we had a light, airy room which was well appointed. The breakfast was a good selection able to cater for all diets - a good spread. We had a buffet dinner organised as pat of the tour and it was not that memorable. Staff were helpful. Their wifi only works in the main building not in the accommodation blocks.
