The staff are friendly and willing to help where they can.

The staff were accommodating and friendly and made every effort to exceed our expectations, which they absolutely did!

From the gate operator, reception, ALL STAFF - everyone is super friendly and helpful.

Friendly hotel sta

Thanks to Romy, Joseph, and our waiter Prince at upper deck for serving us!

The staff was very friendly and made us feel at home.

Boma dinner is exclusive and private.The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Rooms were spacious and offered beautiful views over the river (albeit the river being a little green)

The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and makes one feel quite at home.

Upon arrival we were greeted in a very friendly manner and we basically had to just pick up the keys.

Very friendly reception handling all the paperwork very efficiently The rooms were well equipped and beautifully clean.

The staff members were friendly and attentive to your needs.

Communication about room availability need to be improved in order to facilitate checkout.

They serve a buffet breakfast which was just ok. We ordered poached eggs and on both days they got the order wrong, disappointed as the restaurant also had some good ratings.

It was only when I headed into reception requiring assistance and for the food to be replenished that all of a sudden a manager and waiters arrived to get things in order.

Our unhappiness increased as we ordered the food.

the telephone had an sign acknowledging that it was out of order

In order to focus on the issues at hand, we felt it necessary to remove our management team from the everyday strains and stresses.

The waiter eventually decided to take our order, we requested Steak and Chips as we found the menu not very appealing.

Our drinks order was incorrect and we had to send it back.

20 minutes later in came two plates, that almost matched what we had ordered.

Dinner-we ordered room service-food was not that bad, 
Breakfast-slow service, table cloth dirty & food not great at all.

What a fabulous venue so unexpectedly close to Gauteng on a river bank so peaceful & quiet.

Relaxing and calm feels like a vacation, we had an awesome time , will definitely go again

i loved the serenity of the venue.The staff were exceptionally professional.

This hotel is enchanting and tranquil with great views, and for romantic breaks such as ours, the hotel arranges a lovely picnic.

Thank you for a relaxing stay that cleaned my soul!

Delicious food, relaxing spa treatments, comfortable room, beautiful views and overall excellent service during our stay.

Other than this, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this lodge as a couples retreat.

The spa was great and so peaceful, you can relax without being bombarded with chats from the spa staff.

The Blades hotel is a nice serene place, that provides one with an opportunity to relax and get in touch with nature.

Will definitely love to come back just for a relaxing weekend with my Hubby.

The Blades is situated in a convenient area for those who love being in touch with nature while enjoying the tranquillity  and relaxing atmosphere the place offers.

Quiet and peaceful and lots of birdlife and even some antelope on the property.

You don't have to drive for hours for a relaxing stay away from home.

Peaceful and tranquil with lots of opportunities to relax and reflect.

i like the set up its so peaceful and connect us with nature.

I would recommend the Blades to any person looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

From a conferencing point of view, the internet was frustratingly slow.

Check in was a bit slow other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Dinner on the deck was great, service a bit slow

but when you have to ask for the table cloth to be changed it says a lot about the restaurant standard 
The service was okay but a bit slow and the restaurant was not busy.

but the service was very, very slow and disconnected.

The wifi was so slow it was impossible to access emails.

The only blemish on this fantastic experience, was the slow waiter service.

The room was not allocated by the hotel, receptionists asking us questions making as if we hadn’t booked.

Pleasant, quiet location with a great view, rooms isolated and private, and staff who seem to above and beyond the call of duty to meet guests' needs.

When I got to the hotel, the Receptionist was wonderful as well as the welcoming area.

I just want to find out how do we lay complains to the board of directors about people like him.

The housekeeping staff were absolutely super class as well as Bety or Pety who saved me from mosquitoes on one night.

Spot on
Great place
Good people
Freindly staff
Amazing view of the dam by the boma
Exciting
had animals
Fun activities 
clean swimming pool
nice sound system
good food
but l would recommend ice cream for desert

The overall staff uniform is worn out;
Can reception staff have some uniform and some air-freshner at the reception area, the rooms smell so fresh more than the reception area; and
Also have hangers at the spa

Food was really exceptional and staff very attentive to all the needs we had for the conference.

A service orientated and excellent F&B team and Primrose at Conferencing is excellent.

The rowing activity was the highlight for me and getting to learn about the story of our gold Olympic medalists and how they trained and won the Gold.

What a stunning place with amazing staff , food was amazing, rooms clean and nice .

It was so breathtaking, I had high expectations.

In general it’s a magic location(even with a tree view), comfortable bed, clean

Will recommend for families, great facility and lovely views.

Rooms are really well equipped and comfortable with beautiful views over the river or pool.

The Blades is a stunning property close to Pretoria and has a laid back atmosphere.

We drove out to the Blades Restaurant for lunch, and were received with great hospitality and were given a table with a beautiful view on the deck overlooking the Roodeplaat dam.

We were in rm6 which had direct views of the dam.

The website promises breathtaking views of the Roodeplaat Dam from the the rooms.

The view from my room (Room 3) was beautiful.

We were in the room behind the concierge which had these amazingly high ceilings and nice a bathroom.

We had the most perfect engagement and it was all thanks to the team at Castello, especially Sheila.

They then hastily typed up a welcoming letter that we received after we have been in the room for a while.

The staff are very helpful and not permanently up your ally.

the owners were away, it was nice to see their staff and friends overseeing their absence were going to so much effort to maintain their reputation.

The facility is exceptional, the view is breathtaking, the staff is impecable and the dining experience was fabulous.

Every member of staff was helpful and efficient and the whole experience was wonderful.

The management and staff were extremely pleasant and attentive.

The members of staff were unassumingly efficient and charming, and  and an extremely helpful receptionist  organised our trips for us.

Highly recomended for special occations as the staff go out of their way to arrange everything to your liking.

The staff are warm and welcoming, the rooms large and comfortable.

Staff were kind and welcoming , and to top it all, dinner was delicious

The welcoming was five star and we were shown to our room (No.6).

Service on the terrace was appalling and similarly in their restaurant.

On arrival we were greeted most cordially and seated on the terrace with a drink until our room was ready for occupation.

Spacious room with everything you want, excellent food and service, peaceful shady garden and terraces to loiter whilst waiting for an onward connection.

Our room was huge and we loved the private terrace - the views from there and the main terrace were a bonus.

I have never seen such a large bathroom and we had our own terrace to sit on and take in the views.

We wanted some light lunch so because of the function we dined on a terrace.

Our room was spacious with a terrace, a dressing room and large bathroom.

We spent only one night there the hotel was amazing  the staff was very pleasant the room was very big with a huge terrace and a magnificent view   the food was of high standard   we will probably go back whenever we are in Pretoria

Multiple terraces, shaded balconies, tree shaded garden tables and chairs, pool side sun lounges all conspire to make you wish to stay longer.

We enjoyed the magnificent view from the tower terrace and the quiet surroundings.

We has a fantastic dinner on the terrace.

The building itself is stunning and it’s situation offers amazing views of Pretoria particularly from the rooftop terrace.

breakfast on the terrace was a nice experience.

We were warmly greeted and shown us to our very large room opening onto a front terrace.

The hotel is beautifully furnished with lots of spaces to relax, including several terraces.

We stayed in a Terrace Room with a bed that could have slept 6 comfortably, a huge bath and shower that could fit two and a wonderful balcony with chairs where we sat out to have coffee and just be quiet.

but had a very pleasant breakfast on the terrace.

One might easily mistake the 360 degree view from the rooftop terrace for one such in any part of Tuscany.

Fantastic place, very good service, nice garden, good food
Very nice sitting on the terrace.

We stayed here for the night after landing in Johannesburg and before boarding the blue train.

We stayed a night at this hotel  before we caught the Blue Train the next day .

We were on the Blue Train and this place was on the itinery at the end of the trip.

It was booked for us by the Blue Train as the stop over before our journey to Cape Town.

We stayed prior to the Blue Train and were not disappointed, the food was very good and the room was beautiful.

He cooked us Lamb on the final night we were going to the Blue Train. Impressive.

We were given a tour of the hotel including the magnificent roof area and the 360 degree view of Pretoria.

Mike proposed at the top of the bell tower with a 360 degree view of Pretoria.

A little shame that this beautiful room was overlooking a parking lot!

Breakfast is served with a view over Pretoria and the breakfast itself is satisfying, again with outstanding service. Outstanding!

Our welcome was lovely, the views and sunset great from the tower, the rooms well appointed and fully quipped, not to mention beautifully designed and decorated.

The property is very attractive, and is in a beautiful location with lovely views over the city and hills.

It is in a fabulous location with amazing views.

The views were spectacular from our room (and from all) and everything about it was comfort and luxury.

We went onto our own balcony and the view was stunning, far reaching views which are made better because the hotel is quite elevated.

This time of year it's the Jacaranda tree that fills the beautiful view from atop the roof of Castello di Monte.

This is a most beautiful hotel, the rooms, the dining area, the patios and the views, all spectacular.

A fabulous place in the hills overlooking Pretoria - great service from the staff and a beautiful room - even organised a massage in the room after a long flight 
Food was excellently priced and good quality - staff couldn’t do enough

The food, wine, service and the view was amazing.
