    Cons -

    • More light at the parking lot.
    • The room was hot and the a/c wasn't able to cool it down enough. The breakfast setup was loud.
    • I did not like the dark dining area but could eat breakfast outside. I did not particularly enjoy carrying my luggage upstairs as there is no elevator.

    The hotel won me over in a day! Usually not one for historical buildings I found the hotel warm and homey. Rocky the cat made me feel right at home. The Cattle Baron next door took care of all one's dinner needs and the fillet was exceptional. The scones at breakfast were fantastic.

    Nothing!!

    This is a racist establishment. I made a booking online. When I arrived with my Black partner, we were told the place is fully booked and no rooms are available. I will make it my personal mission to let everyone know this is a racist establishment. If all rooms were full, why did the booking go through on my app. We had to seek accommodation elsewhere. Absolutely shit service for 2025.

    Breakfast ok need variation. Location great

    Furniture in the bay , low table to fall over.

    Excellent location. Friendly staff. Spacious, comfortable room. Lovely porch with great mountain views. Breakfast was good.

    8JanPosted on: 10-31-2024

    The breakfast was splendid. The staff, especially the Receptionist, were superb - friendly, exceptionally helpful and a great asset for the hotel.

    There was nothing that we found to be unpleasant or lacking in any way.

    Beautiful old building with an impressive verandah. The bed was very comfortable.

    The room and bathroom were dated. The bedroom was rather dark. The bathroom was huge but uninviting.

    10HeinPosted on: 4-25-2024

    Everything…location, historic, convenience of a Steak House next door. And they support Paarl Boys High!

    9JohnPosted on: 4-4-2024

    I might be a little biased. Paarl is my home town. That said the Pontiac Manor Hotel is very friendly and professional. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our evening in the restaurant was very good and popular too. Meal excellent. Breakfast in the morning was good. The hotel is in an excellent position to see historic Paarl with its stunning view of Paarl Mountain.

    To be honest no complaints.

    10KhalizaPosted on: 2-28-2024

    Good breakfast spread, great location to restaurants within walking distance, comfortable and spacious room, outstanding view of changing hues on the mountain range in front of hotel during sunrise and sunset.

    Our short stay at the hotel. I wish we had booked for a longer stay there.

    10UnknownPosted on: 1-3-2024

    It’s simply first class. Quiet, lovely grounds, well maintained, and next to an excellent steak restaurant.

    The very hospitable and friendly staff and owners were a delight!The beautiful interior and atmosphere, portraying the rich history and culture was astonishing. What a gem!

    8GertPosted on: 9-12-2023

    Nice hotel to stay. Central to town and Restaurants

    No help getting luggage to car

    8JudyPosted on: 7-3-2023

    Rooms were spacious. Staff were lovely.

    Lighting over the dressing table mirror was poor. Kettle was difficult to plug in because you had to move the table and the lead was short.

    9BrendanPosted on: 3-6-2023

    Beautiful hotel + adjoining restaurant. Lovely garden. Friendly staff. Breakfast: sufficient/good. Very close to Main street. On the veranda are seats, where you can sit and look out over the surrounding.

    Our windown (room 13) leaked (it was raining).

    7MayaPosted on: 2-20-2023

    The bed was very comfortable, staff were friendly. Breakfast was nice and satisfying served on a porch with nice garden view, the lobby of the hotel has a nice Victorian ambience, perfect to start your morning. Good wifi connection. Lot of parking is available on spot

    This hotel uses regular keys, take my advice and leave your key at the reception. If you lose your key they dont have an extra one. Caused us some problems on our stay.
