    Our room had a bath - prefer showering facilities.

    Beautiful old colonial hotel. Understandably run down but clean. Beautiful architecture needs to be preserved if anything for its historical significance.

    We were four people but inly had two towels for the room. Someone to guide parking would help when busy as some idiot parked terribly with his trailer so blocked a whole parking bay so i had to maneuver a large vehicle against the wall.

    We never booked the breakfast so cant comment

    1. The aircon instructions are a bit confusing, maybe it should be clarified at check in. 2. Pillows need a bit of an upgrade. 3. The shower bath is very slippery, a bit of a danger for older people (any person actually). 4. There is a gap between the room door and the wall so the light from.the corridor shines into the room.

    1. The receptionist was very friendly and accommodating with moving us to rooms with showers. 2. The restaurant was superb 3. Beds were comfortable & clean 4. Good wifi

    Having to stand at the car entrance gate for too long. Having to go in front to tell someone to open the gate then walk back, it was just much. No one answers the phone.

    The room was so cozy and comfy. It was very neat and clean. The pool area was really nice.

    The water pressure is still an issue at the hotel since our last stay about 5 years ago. We had dinner at the Springbuck restaurant on our first night - there were just far too few staff on duty, and customers were forgotten. Perhaps the hotel could invest in a generator or solar to allow some lights to work in the common areas - it wasn't fun trying to navigate the dark stairs with a cell phone torch.

    This was our second stay at Karoo Country Inn and it delivered on its promise for our two night stay. Nice sized room, with a comfy bed and lovely linen. The room was nicely soundproof from the trucks rumbling through town. The receptionist was wonderfully friendly, as were the breakfast attendants. The steaks we had at The Springbuck restaurant were excellent value and tasty.

    Front of house, on arrival, was extremely helpful, efficient and friendly, but further than that, we were left to our own devices. I, being physically compromised, had to open and close the gate all by myself.

    The room was comfortable and warm during the cold winter nights we were there. On the inside of the establishment, the facilities very neat.
