Great service

Was great! Went for a spa day and night and the service was amazing. They took our bags to the room, checked us in at the spa and made sure we rolled into the room after our treatments. Better than expected

Not a great Hotel and not worth the price

The Mount Grace has deteriorated since its glory days. I think the move to Southern Sun has brought the Southern Sun mediocrity to the hotel

Room was nice. The buffet was awful.

Loud drunks in the bar, who then moved into the buffet. The buffet food was utterly terrible.

Mount Grace review

Mount Grace is set in the beautiful foothills of the Magaliesberg mountains. Our room was clean, but was a bit musty. The bathroom was beautiful. The Spa is lovely and the treatments were wonderful. It was upsetting that the floatation pool was in disrepair - I was particularly looking forward to floating in there. The other facilities were all good. The one Restaurant was undergoing renovations but we made do with only one restaurant. We had a great rest and came home relaxed.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is very nice but a couple of things as a fellow hotelier I’d have a look into - Dinner service was not organised. Two of us were seated at a table that had only one setting and at no point did anybody bring a second setting before we were served our meal at which point we had to ask for it. We ordered a bottle of red wine that never came. - At breakfast service on the first morning, we ordered coffees that did not arrive. We had to order them a second time after about 20 minutes of waiting. Overall for FNB service, I would just recommend they write down orders as nobody seemed to do this, in particular food orders. - The hiking map route is very difficult to follow from the map as it’s without clear instructions - We wanted to book a spa treatment as we were passing through Reception to head out for the day. We were told we would have to go to the Spa to book a treatment and it could not be done at Reception. It’s not very convenient and we decided not to book.

Stay was fine until Saturday night .Saturday night there was a function there and there was loud music until 23h00 .WE complained as we went there to relax . They manager apologised next day That was too late
ashwin, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth the cost or experience.

Terrible Service from dinning areas. Food for dinner far below what you would expect from a hotel of this statue. Fish Dry and overcooked. Buffer food badly prepared. Seems to be under staffed and the staff are untrained. Spoke to a few other guests who shared the same sentiments.

Absolutely perfect

We spent two nights at Mount Grace and honestly, we would have extended our stay if we didn't have plans in Jo'burg the next day. We will definitely return and will spend more than two days there next time Highlights included: - our beautiful Deluxe room with porch opening onto a verdant scene with views of the mountain - the golf carts to transfer my older in-laws around - all meals. We sampled each of the restaurants, including room service, and all food was excellent - the walk we took around the property. There are cycling tracks too - all staff. The service we received from every single person we met was superb - views from the breakfast room and throughout the property. - we spent a day at the spa after checking out. All treatments, service and lunch were fantastic. Highly recommend time spent in the floatation pool plus the couples spa package

No extra blankets in the rooms, aircon remote's batteries were dead. Food was sub-standard. I did not receive everything I ordered for room service. No flat sheet on the bed. TV channels are very limited.

2/10 Poor

Horrific and horrible stay

We had a stay out of a horror movie. At first, we had to move rooms because our AC was not working and although our room was nice because it is renovated, our friends’ first room was horrific. The room had mold on hen ceiling, a broken lamp shade and dirt at the bottom of the bed. Our friends came with their baby, and their baby got bitten by insects in the cot, they obviously hadn’t cleaned or disinfected the cot. To add to this horror, our friend got an infection suspected from swimming in the pool, and had to be rushed to the hospital in the midst of the night and got admitted to high care. Our room key stopped working several times, their lines and the WiFi was down a lot during our stay. We would rate this supposedly 5 star hotel, a mere 1 star and heavily advise not to book here. We will never go back, that’s for sure.
Sheraan, 3-night trip

Service is not upto standards

On the first day we got to the hotel, the bathroom toilet had poop stains, and we had to get housekeeping to clean it. There was old soap left in the bathroom from the previouse guest and the old soap reminded in the bathroom the entire lenght of my stay. I arrange for wine to be put into the room and that was never done. Also arrange for a piece of cake to be sent to us after dinner on the last night of our stay because it was my fiance birthday, and this was never done. I call the front desk and laid a complaint and they said the manage will chat to me the next day, that never happend.
Shalen, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

For the price that I paid I expected better conditions. No air conditioning in the restaurant to eat breakfast and dinner, so you sweated. Air conditioning in the room was broken kept shutting off had to keep waking up in the middle of the night to turn it on. The private pool in the room the water was dirty and not clear so couldn’t see the steps or the bottom to come in and out, the windows and room where dirty, no water or coffee was provided in the room. The spa staff was rude. Safety was a joke had a waitress staff calling the room at 1am asking if we where awake. Not sure why. The property is beautiful, beautiful landscaping but I would not recommend staying here, everything else was terrible. I would stay down the street at black horse.
