ROYAL COURT YARD
Hotel in Matatiele

It is said that the last formal duel in South Africa took place behind the hotel. The establishment was purchased by the present owners in 2004 & has been undergoing extensive renovations, upgrading & additions. We are the largest establishment in the area and our client base includes national and provincial government departments, ngo’s, professionals, company representatives, construction contractors, church organisations. Every bed has an electric blanket, and each room has an auto-kettle, panel heaters or air-conditioner & DSTV. The VIP rooms include baths, and an additional lounge room. There is ample covered parking in a completely secured environment with access control gates. Free Wifi is available throughout the establishment. The rooms were comfortable, theres 24 hour security and the shops are literally within walking distance, It was very convenient. All food is Halaal and Salaah facility's are available. What awaits beyond the original historic outer walls is a wonderful inner oasis. The rooms are of a standard you would expect from a five star hotel in a big city. Our experience went above and beyond what we had expected from a tiny town on the cusp of the Kwazulu Natal, Lesotho and Eastern Cape triangle. As a person who loves the finer things in life like a good bed with quality linen and bathroom with all the 5 star trimmings, this was real deal. Check in process can be improved as each time on arrival guest details have to be re-entered. Dinning area is in need of upgrading the menu can also be improved to allow for variety of especially for the breakfastStayed February 2017, travelled on business. The Royal Hotel is by far one of the best and safest hotels in the region. But it also give you that welcoming warm embrace and home away from home feeling that Matatiele as a town is about. They maintain a high standard when it comes to the quality of their service and the rooms are quite luxurious. It also works in their favour that they are close to all amenities the town has to offer.Stayed December 2016, travelled with friends. The service was really good, except for the slight renovations, however it is good that the place is being upgraded. Though they were busy with renovations, in all it was still a great stay.
