Such a beautiful gem that is deteriorating a bit.
We have stayed here in the past but this time we were slightly disappointed in a few things. Staff friendly but not helpful. From wrong room and keys to yellow toilet paper. bartender grumpy. couldn't swim. apparently there was glass in the pool. wandered around next morning to hand in keys. couldn't get to gate. Other guest came to help. Bathroom needs a fix. A family room cannot have just one mirror by the sink in the bathroom.

It was very pleasant to spend the night with you for the last time in the beautiful Karoo and the lamb was delicious. We waited a bit long for our food, almost felt like we were a second serving and the food had to be cooked from scratch and some of it wasn't quite tender. But everything was otherwise very nice with you. Thanks for the lamp for the loadshedding, it just helped a lot.

Although I took the initiative to turn off the light, management should make a plan to cover the ventser with something.

Merino Junction offers comfortable overnight accommodation. We booked a family room on our trip from Cape Town to Pretoria and the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. A real experience to be able to sleep in such a historic hotel. The dinner was fantastic and I would definitely recommend the karoo lamb dishes, portions are also big enough for the hungry traveler after a long day on the road. All meals offer value for money. The service is good and friendly, as you can expect in the countryside!

Everything was fine, but the service and contact with management was 'non existing'.
Where is the Karoo friendliness and hospitality? The receptionist was friendly, checked us in and showed us the room. Well. Then we went down at around 16:00 to watch the rugby in the bar - the bar was closed. OK, then we watched the rugby in our room. There is no one at reception or anywhere to ask. There was a young man in the bar when we checked in, but he didn't even introduce himself or welcome us. Dinner was OK, not fantastic, 4am an alarm goes off in the hotel - my husband went to check if our car was safe but couldn't get out of the hotel building. No one else in the hotel. It turns out the next morning there was indeed a burglary. We slept well, but the service and hospitality was sadly lacking.

Safe behind closed gates. I will stay here again any time I come back or drive down to the Cape. Victoria West as a town, with its beautiful architecture and restored historic buildings absolutely charmed me. It's beautifully clean, without pollution and the streets are wide, just like the vast Karoo plains. It's also exactly halfway to the Cape.

Beautiful old historic hotel in Victoria West that has been converted into a user friendly building that provides a great destination for visitors. The character of the building has been retained and the theme of sheep and wool farming aspects, which still form an important and integral part of the area, has been successfully embodied in the decor. Beautiful antiques and structures have been retained and selective exhibits have been added to create a delightful atmosphere. The rooms and bedding have been renewed and offer good facilities for an overnight stay. The characterful dining room is cozy and creates a wonderful atmosphere. The lamb neck dish was a meal to remember forever. The staff are all friendly and helpful and proud of their work and workplace. Vehicles are parked safely behind security gates under canopies on site. Many beautiful and historic buildings within walking distance from the hotel. We really enjoyed it all!

Not very welcoming.
The rooms were very neat, aircon worked well and everything was very clean. However, we felt funny when we got there. The name of the place is on a very small cross board, almost invisible. Furthermore, all the lights were off and no one behind the counter. It was a strange experience, and you don't want to feel like you're arriving at a haunted house when you book an old hotel.

Although the room was comfortable, the air conditioning did not work, the toilet was broken on arrival and fixed itself, and the faucet kept dripping in the sink. No staff on duty after 5 o'clock and the restaurant was then closed. Parking was also not sufficient as road engineers had first right to covered spaces.

I appreciated that my reservation was confirmed by phone early on the day of arrival. The reception at the hotel was good and all our questions (also about places to eat etc.) were answered. The old Merino Hotel has been very neatly fixed in a country style. It was quite cold, but the air conditioner in the rooms was effective. (An electric blanket on the beds would have been so welcome.) Although a WiFi code was given, it was unusably slow. Everything in the hotel (guesthouse) gave the impression that it was well cared for, neat and clean. We can confidently recommend staying here.

The hotel is very old but good restoration efforts have been put in place. However, further attention to detail is needed and attention will be given to central heating in the portal and corridors. However, the hotel room was beautifully clean, neat and the bedding fresh and cozy. Air conditioning was sufficient to regulate the heat in the room. The staff went out of their way to make our stay and meal as enjoyable as possible.

Generally very tidy and we enjoyed our stay in Victoria West. What was disappointing was the pathetic shower head in an otherwise very modern unit as well as the fact that there was basically no shower water available, and that on a freezing cold evening / morning.

Was welcomed and shown to our room. We ate at the hotel and were not happy with the chicken, the chicken breast was not prepared there and could see it was prepared from a box and was slightly burnt. The room itself was very nice and tidy and the service was good, because they easily exchanged the food for us. I personally was quite satisfied. I also forgot my cellphone charger there and the driver sent it via PEP courier. I'm still waiting, but believe it will come. Thanks for the service!

Delicious Karoo hospitality.
We had a wonderful stay at Merino Junction. The building has been beautifully restored and the decor is beautiful. We are traveling with a 3 and 1 year old. What would make it easier for us with small children would be a bathtub and a fan/or ceiling fan in the room. The room has air conditioning which is great (especially in December heat) but I would have preferred not to have slept with the air con on. However, it was very hot and you don't dare open the windows, the mosquitoes will carry you away. But apart from that (which is more of a suggestion than a criticism), we had a really nice stay and had a great meal. The playroom for the children was also a nice surprise. Would definitely stay there again!

Their bar has a pool table, chess, pick up sticks, cards etc. to keep you busy. Their wine collection also looks exceptional. There is also a very cute little shop which unfortunately we could not see with a beautiful "courtyard" at the back. It was definitely worth it for us and made our "road trip" even more special.

Beds were very comfortable and service is friendly. The non-smoking bar was a big plus. The food in restaurant was flavorful and very well prepared - compliments to the chef. Just a shame we weren't told about the pool at the Deli, it could have helped dissipate the heat of the summer day.

The place looks exactly like the photos on the website and that's nice because it created a high expectation that was met. However, just one small bag that you won't know, because you don't shower there. The drain has a terrible, unbearable smell. And we had no hot water at all, my husband went downstairs to the barman, it was already late, and went to ask if he could help. But he just said the guy doing the interview isn't there. No effort made to try to help, no checking to see if the geyser might have tripped or just wasn't on. We're a bit sour about it, but we'll definitely be staying at Merino Junction again!

A gem in the Karoo!
We were pleasantly surprised with the renovated hotel. Everything is convenient and tidy. The owners may consider putting an armchair in the room, as we had to sit on the bed to watch TV. And a mirror at the power outlet for when you dry your hair with the hairdryer. All the other necessities were available in the room. The dinner in the restaurant was terrific. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant, clean, tidy and comfortable stay.
Had a great time. People had been very friendly and helpful. Dinner was excellent and tasty. The hotel is beautifully maintained. The breakfast at the Karoo Deli was not up to standard. It took a very long time for the little food we received.

Fantastic.
The place is a hidden treasure and absolutely a must on one's bucket list. Indescribably friendly service, something we Gautenians are not used to at all. Rooms stylishly decorated with quality linen. The entire establishment is neat with unique farm decor and precise detail. Stunning. We will definitely get off the N1 again to spend the night here.

Friendly staff. Nice hotel and rooms.
Only bad experience was that there was no water to shower in the late afternoon and morning. Other than that, it was very nice. Ka'Roux restaurants in the hotel are a must visit. Best food I've experienced on a business tour in a long time.

Clean and tidy.
There was a problem with the water supply and we could not shower. We felt that the management could have made more effort to solve the problem.

Marietjie, baie dankie vir jou terugvoering.
Oor die water kan ons ongelukkig net omverskoning vra en verduidelik dat ons in werklikheid nie veel daaraan kon doen nie, aangesien ons dorp se water toevoer gedurende Desember en nou steeds geweldig te kort skied. Ons was oor die dae wat julle hier geslaap het, 14 en 15 Desember, juis besig om 'n tenk stelsel met 'n drukpomp te installeer, wat ons toelaat om water reserwe op te bou en dan in die sisteem te gebruik wanneer die dorp nie water het nie. Dit is in talle dorpe tans die probleem en ons Munisipaliteite trek net skouers op.
Met ons tenk sisteem het ons egter nog nie weer heel sonder water gewees nie.
Ons hoop om julle weer hier by ons te verwelkom.
Vriendelike groete
Merino Junction bestuur

Enjoyed the stay and will do it again.
Room is well equipped with a fridge, microwave and lots of coffee, tea and milk. Spacious bathroom. Unfortunately the shower head presented a challenge since not a lot of water came out of it. Great restaurant and we ate well.

Baie ongemaklik om te slaap in die hitte, kamers moet air cons kry.

Very uncomfortable to sleep in the heat, rooms need aircon.
The place is very neat, it just needs a bit of attention. Rooms have no numbers on the doors, and aircons in the rooms are a must, times of pub and dinner times need to be put up. The meals were acceptable.

Goeie more Andrew
Baie dankie vir u terugvoering, dit is jammer dat die hitte die nagrus vir u onaangenaam gemaak het. Ek kan u verseker dat ons wel besig is met onderhandelinge vir die nodige lugverkoeling en alle uitstaande items soos u genoem het.
Dit is moeilik om sekere items oor 'n vakansie tydperk in die hande te kry, asook die nodige kennis om dit te installeer en daarom probeer ons dit so gou moontlik afhandel om te verseker dat ons gaste 'n goeie nagrus kan ervaar.
Groete
Merino Junction
