Boutique hotel in the middle of nowhere. The property was lovely overall and the room was old and had antique charm. But it was cold and all I had in a large suite was a small fan heater. My room was full of old colonial era photos - not something I particularly appreciate and for that reason alone I will not stay there again. Dinner at the in-house restaurant was an attempt to be fancy with limited options, but I think it missed the mark and was quite overpriced. Breakfast was also quite limited and did not cater for varied dietary requirements.

I have only great things to say about this property, our room was something out of a novel, clean, spacious, and the balcony off the front was the cherry on top. And of course all the staff were incredible.

We unfortunately only spent one night in this fabulous hotel, but we definitely plan to return! It is just SO interesting, vibey, friendly and comfortable. The historic building, art everywhere, magnificent huge room - all wonderful!! A bathroom you could dance in. Lovely back garden. Huge own private balcony. We had the Baines room, one of the ten large rooms. The owners are super friendly and treat guests like old friends. We'll be back!

This hotel has been in operation since 1866. It is old, floors are creeky and it has no air conditioning. Shower and sink were obviously added later to the rooms. To that I say ‘who cares!’ This place is awesome. So beautiful, so cool. The art is great, the property is great, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Last night the hotel bar and restaurant were both full and everyone was having a good time. The food was excellent by the way. Our room faces the mountains and we have a wonderful view of it from our own little balcony. Love it here!

A very unique hotel and a wonderful experience. The art is amazing and there are lots of comfortable spots to sit and read or just relax. the food is excellent. Unfortunately, the Springbok pie pastry was chewy as it was probably warmed in a microwave oven, which is such a pity.

Amazing place and lovely staff. It’s a real experience. The standard rooms are very basic with a shower in the room. The superior rooms are lovely (wish they had a fridge) but overpriced I felt. The breakfast is great. The restaurant food is slightly hit and miss and promises more than it delivered. The pool area is beautiful and there is a (slightly neglected) kids area.

The hotel is a step back in time. If you are looking for a luxury hotel then this isn’t for you. If you want a comfy bed, great meal and outstanding service then the the Karoo art hotel fits the bill. We really enjoyed our night here, in fact we wish we had more time and could have stayed longer. It’s not 5 star but it had everything we needed and just the drive to get there was worth the stay.

The restaurant was closed at the time (off season) of our stay which was disappointing. This was not disclosed at the time of booking.

Barrydale is an incredibly relaxed and beautiful town. The Karoo Art Hotel is one of the most interesting and friendly hotels I have ever stayed in, both in South Africa and abroad. The Bistro is an excellent pub, just across the road from the hotel, and Country Pumpkin, Coco's and Diesel & Crème as "must be" place to visit, along with Barrydale Celars.
