    A must see when you visit Kimberley .

    A light fitting in our room was damaged and the shower floor was not 100% clean. Except for that everything was perfect.

    Being a historical building with matching furniture and decor was the attraction. Real old world experience. You need time to browse through all the public spaces. It was like staying in a museum. Best German Schnitzel I ever had. Excellent breakfast. Parking was secure across the street and security see to it that you enter the building safely.

    Not the nicest location in town.

    History loaded place, feels a bit fallen out of the time. But very nice and comfy. Big, high rooms.

    It is a bit of a grand old lady whose glamour has faded a little. Although the building is beautiful and many original antiques, memorabilia and collectibles remain, it is shabby in areas (most notably the verandah) and would benefit from some thoughtful redecoration.

    The Club is located in the centre of the city which isn't an ideal location, however as a historical building it would once have been in the heart of a thriving city and the beautiful building is worth it.

    Lovely old hotel, but a pity you couldn't use the wonderful grand entrance. It was all locked up and had electric fences around the perimeter. So the entry is around the back on not a very pleasant street. unfortunately not a safe place out after dark.

    The location was in the city centre which is dirty and empty. Staff were scarce and there were no other guests. Sadly this property, although beautiful in the past, is dying.

    The history and decor relating to Rhodes and the gold rush. Our dinner was tasty and our waiter helpful.

    The only thing I can really bring up is the part of town the hotel is situated at, it is not pretty and maybe not a spot I would pick to go for a walk in the evening. But the hotel has a good garden and my room had a really spacious balcony to get some fresh air.

    This is one of those places that is just filled with history, I loved all the period correct rooms and hallways. It is not in the prettiest part of town, but it has safe parking and a great restaurant in the hotel that is very affordable. I was very pleasantly surprised by this really great an memorable hotel.

    The creaking floor boards in our room. The location did not feel safe enough to even walk around the block.

    The hotel runs with few staff but they do a great job. Lots of historical memorabilia of interest - a real museum within a hotel. The courtyard with the enormous lemon tree!
