The Royal Hotel

We’ve been coming over and over again for many years but this time everything sparkles and shines just a little brighter - mirrors, glass, surfaces just show a little more love than on prior visits. Every corner is clean and bright and cared for. Staff seem just a bit more focussed, polished and energetic while not for a moment losing any of their warmth and friendly hospitality. Food is really good - some interesting and unusual choices beautifully presented. Absolute best to get good coffee room service early morning.

As I type this, my partner and I are winding down from an incredible weekend away. The Royal Hotel has been on our to-do list for a few months, ever since we happened upon it while taking a detour through the charming little town of Riebeek-Kasteel. From the moment we arrived, the staff have been absolutely amazing, attentive and friendly. The rooms are spotless and fitted with all the creature comforts one could need. The food is incredible. We sampled from both the Royal Restaurant, with its laid-back fare, as well as the 8 course fine dining restaurant, The Blue Room. Both meals left us speechless. A massive thank you to everyone we met at the Royal for making our stay so special

We recently went on a unplanned road trip. First night stop at the Royal Hotel in Riebeeck Kasteel. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left everything was amazing. What a privilege to stay in such an historical Hotel. We will be back. Greg and Cynthia
