Excellent, beautiful, scenic.

The facilities were maintained well, and the staff was professional. The room had everything you would need. 10/10—If I had to complain about something, it would be the pillows on the bed. The restaurant on-site was amazing, and the breakfasts were out of this world. I would return to Il Castello without hesitation.

Il Castello was 'n asemrowende ondervinding. Fotos kan dit nie vasvang nie. Dit is vir seker 'n "bucket list" item. Ek sien uit daarna om weer te kom kuier.

Thank you for the wonderful hospitality during our stay at Il Castello.

Thank you for the wonderful hospitality during our stay at Il Castello. In 2022 I was spoiled by my husband for my 50th at your hotel, and the service was outstanding. Now 2 years later, once again on 2nd June, I enjoyed my 52nd birthday. Your staff are so professional and friendly. Il Castello is on my top list for overnight stays. Well done and keep it up.

Everything else was good except staff making noise in the kitchen, waking our guests.

The staff, stay, and everything else was fine. The dinner at the restaurant was a disaster. My wife had pork pasta and the pork was off. I had a steak and it was thick on one side and thin on the other, therefore it wasn't cooked properly. Our guests' food was also not good. The curry was more like a soup stew with no curry flavour, and the starters were very small.

Would not come back.

Firstly, the rooms are not well insulated as advertised. I had to complain after sleeping poorly the first night, and we got moved to a different room, which was a bit better. The food was an absolute disaster; it took forever to be served. The staff also lacked consistency. When I inquired about the included breakfast, I was initially told it consisted of cold meats and breads. However, upon asking again, we were provided with the hotel guest menu for breakfast selection. The following morning, we were given the regular menu instead of the hotel guest menu, and when we asked about it, the waiter rudely claimed ignorance. The outdoor tables were dirty, and the table linen inside the restaurant was also soiled. On our last morning, we had to fetch our utensils ourselves, and our toast for the South African breakfast never arrived. Our last dinner with steaks was a mess - I strongly advise against ordering steaks. The meat was not cooked as requested and very tough. The only consistently friendly staff members were Brandon and Steve. The rest did not greet us at all, and when asked something, they seemed annoyed.

Pragtige uitsig!

Pragtige omgewing en mooi uitsig. Die diens was noemenswaardig. Ons het bietjie gesukkel met die klank van die restaurant in ons kamer, kom die musiek en stoele wat geskuiwe word, maar andersins is dit regtig 'n besonderse plek!

Onvergeetlike verjaarsdaggeskenk en bederf.

II Castello is puik en hoogs aanbeveelbaar. Die personeel is super-vriendelik en laat jou tuis voel. Vanaf aankoms tot en met ons vertrek was ons op die hande gedra. Die kamer was spesiaal opgemaak met ballonne vir my verjaarsdag en met aankoms is sjampanje bedien. Ons is baie opgewonde en sien uit na ons volgende kuier by julle.

Dit was absoluut wonderlik gewees.

Die personeel gaan van die oomblik van aankoms uit hul pad uit om jou verblyf so gerieflik en gemaklik as moontlik te maak. Die gehalte van die kliëntediens en professionaliteit kan beslis op internasionale vlak meeding. Die kos is uit die boonste rakke en die opsies wat hulle te eet en te drink aanbied is onbeperk en maak jou keuse "moeilik". Dit was my verjaarsdagnaweek en vandat ek die bespreking gemaak het is daar moeite gedoen om uit te vind wat hulle kan doen om dit spesiaal te maak. Laastens - Mieke, die ontvangsdame, het baie potensiaal om ver te kom in haar beroep. Sy straal 'n passie uit vir haar werk en huiwer nie vir 'n oomblik om jou te help en/of tevrede te stel nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

It had been absolutely wonderful.

From the moment of arrival, the staff go out of their way to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible. The quality of the customer service and professionalism can certainly compete on an international level. The food is top notch and the options they offer to eat and drink are unlimited and make your choice "difficult". It was my birthday weekend and from the moment I made the reservation, efforts were made to find out what they could do to make it special. Finally - Mieke, the receptionist, has a lot of potential to go far in her profession. She radiates a passion for her work and does not hesitate for a moment to help and/or satisfy you.

From the time we arrived until the time we left, we were pampered and looked after by awesome staff. The restaurant is divine with amazing food being served. The views from the balcony are simply breathtaking.

Asemrowend, puik, fantasties.

Dit was ons 25ste huweliksherdenking. Dit was ons eerste keer ooit in Clarens. Ons kan regtig nie fout vind met enige iets nie. Die personeel was so behulpsaam en vriendelik. Van die dame by ontvangs wat ons verwelkom het (jammer ek het nie haar naam gekry nie), Lizwi, Tarzan (julle was amazing), die man wat die aand aan diens was (jammer ook nie sy naam gekry nie) en dan die res van die personeel. Baie dankie dat julle ons huweliksherdenking so spesiaal gemaak het. Dit is definitief een om te onthou.

Breathtaking, great, fantastic.

It was our 25th wedding anniversary. It was our first time ever in Clarens. We really can't fault anything. The staff were so helpful and friendly. From the lady at reception who welcomed us (sorry I didn't get her name), Lizwi, Tarzan (you were amazing), the man who was on duty that night (sorry didn't get his name) and then the rest of the staff. Thank you so much for making our wedding anniversary so special. This is definitely one to remember.

Uitstekend - waarde vir geld!

Ons het heerlik gebly - van ontvangs deurgaans tot en met ons vertrek. Vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Niks wat jy vra is te veel moeite nie en elkeen probeer jou verblyf so aangenaam moontlik maak.

Pragtige plek met ongelooflike diens wat enige gas besonder welkom laat voel.

Il Castello het 'n pragtige uitsig oor Clarens en die omliggende berge. Ons kamer was bietjie klein en het nie 'n yskas gehad nie en daarom gee ek net 4 sterre vir waarde vir geld. Verder was ons verblyf onverbeterlik. Daar is verskillende opsies vir ontbyt beskikbaar wat in enige persoon se smaak sal val. Verder word ontbyt op verskillende plekke binnenshuis of buite bedien. Almal gaan uit hulle pad om gaste te akkommodeer en die diens is onoortreflik en altyd met 'n glimlag. 'n Groot bonus is die pendeldiens wat beskikbaar is. Hierdie is een van die mooiste plekke waar ons nog tuisgegaan het.

Beautiful place with incredible service that makes any guest feel especially welcome.

Il Castello has a beautiful view over Clarens and the surrounding mountains. Our room was a bit small and didn't have a fridge which is why I only give 4 stars for value for money. Furthermore, our stay was unbeatable. There are different options for breakfast available that will suit any person's taste. Furthermore, breakfast is served in different places indoors or outdoors. Everyone goes out of their way to accommodate guests and the service is unsurpassed and always with a smile. A big bonus is the shuttle service available. This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed.

'n Ervaring met styl.

Vir ons onlangse Clarens-besoek, het ons weer op Il Castello besluit, want die eerste keer was 'n aangename ervaring. Die diens van al die personeel is uitstaande, alles is netjies en stylvol, en die ontbyt was pragtig aangebied. Al wat ek graag in ons kamer sou wou hê, is 'n stoel waarop ek kan sit om te lees of by die tafeltjie met my skootrekenaar te werk. Ons sal Il Castello weer besoek en vriende of familie daarnatoe aanbeveel.

An experience with style.

For our recent Clarens visit, we decided on II Castello again, because the first time was such a pleasant experience. The service of all the staff is excellent, everything is neat and stylish, and breakfast was beautifully served. The only thing I would have liked in the room was a chair on which I could sit and read or sit and work on my laptop by the little table. We will visit II Castello again and recommend it to family and friends.

Vriendelik, skoon

Ek sal Castello beslis aanbeveel. Ek het egter met bespreking n kamer gekies met 'n kaggel. Die kaggel was buite en nie in die kamer nie en omdat dit nou winter is, kon ons dit nie benut nie. Groot teleurstelling. Kamer verwys ook na berguitsig en dit was omtrent glad nie sigbaar nie.

Friendly, clean

I would definitely recommend Castello. However, I chose a room with a fireplace when booking. The fireplace was outside and not in the room and because it is now winter, we could not use it. Big disappointment. Room also refers to mountain view and it was almost not visible at all.

Castello is 'n pragtige hotel. Maar nie heeltemal wat ons verwag het nie.

Ek het spesifiek Castello gekies omrede ons my dogter se verjaarsdag met 'n spa-bederf wou vier. Teleurstellend kon Castello ons op kort kennisgewing nie meer help met die spa-behandelings nie. Ek kon vir meer waarde vir my geld by 'n ander spa met goedkoper verblyf bespreek het. Ons was die enigste gaste.

Castello is a beautiful hotel. But not quite what we expected.

I specifically chose Castello because we wanted to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a spa treat. Disappointingly, Castello could no longer help us with the spa treatments at short notice. I could have booked at another spa with cheaper accommodation for more value for money. We were the only guests.

Clarens is fantasties!

Heerlike kamer! Lekker elektriese kombers op bed. Yskassie lekker vol gepak met water, koeldrank en sjokelade wat waardeer is aangesien dit so 'n bietjie uit die dorp is en ons nie daaraan gedink het om te koop nie.

One of the best places I have visited.

When I travel to Clarens I know I'm staying at Il Cadtello. Food, service, rooms, coffee, view and the whole idea of a castle is great. The service we received from the staff was the best. They are so friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend Castello to everyone I know that would visit Clarens. Loved it. Thank you.
