The Pearl Of Oudtshoorn

This place was a nightmare and serious health and safety risk. There is black mould on the ceilings, most of the doors does not lock properly, the lift is a serious health risk and the stairs are not up to standard to say the least. The rooms stink, the bedding is old and the rooms are not clean. The walls on the corridor is disgusting aa well as the entire hotel. The photos is a total misrepresentation of the hotel and does not look like that At All. This is absolute false advertising!!!!! We requested our money back as we could not stay it such a horrific place and they refused stating we should send an email. We have yet to receive a response. Do not book there the place is NOT as advertised and even worse when you get there.

Very disappointing experience. Our room was dirty, the bedding was in poor condition, and we even found a dead mouse in a storage area. The water ran brown, the shower sprayed everywhere, and the aircon barely worked. When it rained, there were leaks throughout the space. The food was below standard, and the balcony looked unsafe and corroded. We were a large group and expected better treatment. Only a few staff members were pleasant. Not recommended.

There are decidedly better and cleaner hotels with more appealing outdoor facilities; breakfast takes some getting used to, the view from some rooms on the lower floor is more of an imposition. It offers views of a terrace that might be renovated in the future, as well as views of the street.
