This old-fashioned and comfortable country hotel comprises a pub, a lady's lounge, a restaurant, outdoor dining facilities, braai areas and 12 rooms. The hotel is 102 years old.
This is a great place for a weekend getaway with activities such as hiking, motor biking, cycling or just chilling. We are situated close to Clarens, the Golden Gate Park, Lion's Rock and Sterkfontein Dam.
Our hotel is pet friendly, but animals must be house trained and sociable. We look forward to seeing you in Kestell.
"The hotel is in a quite area and is ideal for stopover to Dralensnerg or Dirban or Bethlehem and beyond."
"Rural hospitality and good service"
"We did not stay at Kestell Hotel. It was disgusting. The photo tells a whole other story. First of all, there was only a shower in the room. One has to go outside the room to the toilet. I tried to call, but your offices were closed already. I found 1000x better accommodation in Betlehem for a R100 more.I will also never book through Safari.com again.I am going to try and get a refund as well.Elsa Kotze"
"Old hotel steeped in history. Comfortable accommodation and home cooked dinner was most enjoyable"
"When arriving at the hotel at 20:30(driving all the way from Durban to the Free State), we were told that he had not even seen our booking and that his hotel was full and he couldn't accommodate us(Mother and daughter) . We then had tor drive all the way to Bethlehem to find some accommodation.What makes maters even worse is they/You have charged my credit card for the room. This was disgusting treatment/experience.."
"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel on our way through the Free State. We arrived late and left early, after receiving a breakfast that was made custom to some strange dietary requirements - thank you!"
"From the moment we arrived, we only had bad experiences. Reception reacted as if he was doing us a favour. Whole place is in state of neglet. Room smelled of old smoke and mould. Wall paint are full of damp blisters, carpets dirty, bathroom poor state. Toilet seat does not fit and moves/slips around. We gave place zero stars and will not recommend anyone to even consider staying there!"
"Kestell is a small place where there is not much going on. If one is from busy places like Gauteng the life there can be boring indeed.<div><br /></div><div>The place seems to be decent under the circumstances. The place in general appeared to be safe as far as crime is concerned.</div>"
"Comfortable beds for a sleepover."
"The hotel was clean and friendly with average accommodation... quite sufficient for an average couple at very reasonable cost."
"Thank you to the friendly and helpful staff at Kestell Hotel. We LOVED our stay."

"Staff is frendly and very help full. Food is very good. Rooms are clean."
"Not too bad. Rooms need a heater. Little bit cold and maybe a TV. Food was very tasteful. Enjoy the company. People are very friendly."
"Great little hotel with friendly owners/ staff. Also very biker friendly, did I mention the excellant cold beers."
"The room was clean and well equipped. The dinner and breakfast we were served was well prepared and reasonably priced. I will recommend the establishment to friends."
