    The Pontiac Manor Hotel is a stunning property. Comfortable rooms and exceptionally clean.

    To be honest no complaints.

    I might be a little biased. Paarl is my home town. That said the Pontiac Manor Hotel is very friendly and professional. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our evening in the restaurant was very good and popular too. Meal excellent. Breakfast in the morning was good. The hotel is in an excellent position to see historic Paarl with its stunning view of Paarl Mountain.

    Our short stay at the hotel. I wish we had booked for a longer stay there.

    Good breakfast spread, great location to restaurants within walking distance, comfortable and spacious room, outstanding view of changing hues on the mountain range in front of hotel during sunrise and sunset.

    Lighting over the dressing table mirror was poor. Kettle was difficult to plug in because you had to move the table and the lead was short.

    Rooms were spacious. Staff were lovely.

    Beautiful hotel + adjoining restaurant. Lovely garden. Friendly staff. Breakfast: sufficient/good. Very close to Main street. On the veranda are seats, where you can sit and look out over the surrounding.

    Good variety, thank you. I recently moved from Paarl to Durbanville after 23 years. I often sat on the verandah enjoying the view and lunch. It was never necessary to sleep over in Paarl. When I had to, Pontac was the obvious choice.

    This hotel uses regular keys, take my advice and leave your key at the reception. If you lose your key they dont have an extra one. Caused us some problems on our stay.

    The bed was very comfortable, staff were friendly. Breakfast was nice and satisfying served on a porch with nice garden view, the lobby of the hotel has a nice Victorian ambience, perfect to start your morning. Good wifi connection. Lot of parking is available on spot

    The poolarea is not so nice lacking sunbeds, towels and cushions. The breakfast has deteriorated since our visits before the pandemic. Very limited offering - dry pieces of bread in plastic bags, no muesli etc. The shower area in the bathroom needs better upkeep.

    The location is very good and the gardens are very pleasant. The rooms are comfortable and the staff kind and welcoming.
