Went off-season so practically deserted. Staff were good and helpful and food well prepared. Al round no problems and very convenient for Sani Pass excursion - just probably would benefit from a livelier high season ambience!

This is an older, traditional SA hotel that has undergone substantial renovations over the last couple of years. The rooms in the main block are fine; neat, clean and really quite large. Be sure to get one with a spectacular view of the mountains. See panorama pic. attached. The hotel itself has also been upgraded and the furniture has all... More

We just returned from a long weekend at the Berg for my 30th. When I was younger, I went to Sani Pass Hotel every year as a family holiday and had such fond memories. I suggested to my friends that we go back there, 18 years later. Our first night was horrendous - we were allocated a garden cottage which,... More

The hotel is nicely renovated and is ideally positioned for a trip up Sani Pass. Very well located in the mountain. Service is still a little bit confusing and lacks professionalism and some food stuff like pasta has certainly to be improved. Rooms are large - just a little bit too hot for a summerday. But certainly underestimated and should... More

We spent a recent week-end at the hotel with about 12 other couples, and without sounding dramatic our room was absolutely beyond terrible! Our room was Not in the hotel, and it had the most dreadful brown blanket on the bed with a bed spread that needed a good wash! Every thing from the carpets to the dreadful bathroom was... More

Our recent (8 to 12 January 2013) stay at the Sani Pass Hotel proved to be a very pleasant experience. The Management and Staff of the Hotel/Resort went out of their way to make us feel at home and no request was ever too big an effort! We have no doubt that the present refurbishing program will also go a... More

We spent a week at this hotel before heading off to the beach as we are mountain lovers but did have some trepidation due to the mixed reviews, with some reviews being quite scathing. There are positives and negatives to this hotel so tried to be balanced and will start off with the positives. This is definitely a hotel for... More

We have just spent a week-end at the Sani Pass Hotel, which on its website is billed as having undergone major renovations and boasting fine dining. We booked in for the week-end as many of our group of 10 families were running in the Sani Stagger half and full marathons. You might think that on such an important week-end we... More
