"Lovely hotel … "

"A Delightful house and quiet setting. "

"I feel compelled to share my experience at the Hidden Inn, as it was quite the unexpected adventure. First and foremost, the pricing is incredibly reasonable, and the reception staff exude warmth in a tranquil setting. However, if you're planning a visit with family or anyone under 18, I would strongly advise against it! The walls seem to have ears—or rather, they amplify the sounds of intimacy from neighboring rooms, which was quite jarring for me. Before I could voice my concerns, my cousin popped by to say hello, and to my surprise, I was met with a loud knock on the door from the receptionist or perhaps the owner, sternly informing me that visitors were not allowed. This was particularly perplexing, considering I had booked for two adults! I recalled a phone call I had received earlier, where I was asked whether I preferred two small beds or one large bed, and I had opted for the latter. It dawned on me that this establishment seems to cater primarily to escorts seeking short-term stays. Ultimately, I made the decision to check out early, forfeiting some of my money in the process. I had been swayed by the glowing reviews prior to my booking, but what I encountered was far from satisfactory."

"Fordoun was just the most wonderful stay for me travelling solo. The spa is superb and my room was just divine! Felt like home and so comfortable and classy! A haven in the midlands . The staff went beyond and Jules the manager was exceptionally kind and helpful. i would definitely stay there every time I return to South Africa. "

"The old charm was wonderful, really enjoyed the room as it was spacious. The restaurant wasn’t great, staff weren’t very friendly and food was average. Otherwise we loved it "

"Hartford House is perfect in every way"

"Fabulous colonial style hotel. So much characters"

"Great stay during my business in Pietermaritzburg"

"I regret booking this place, it’s very dull and needs a lot of maintenance, the wardrobe was outside our room, how in earth do you expect people to keep their clothes in the wardrobe placed on a passage where everyone has access on? There was no dustbin in our room and the toilet, I was not even told where the kitchen was, I booked for 2 people, but there was one glass, one towel for the entire 2days. We didn’t have the remote for the gate, so everytime we had to go out we had to phone because we didn’t even know where the reception is, if there is. I felt like I was in those horror haunted houses. Bad place, poor service"
