Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Service is deteriorating continuously. Not value for money at all.
Grounds are well kept. Food is OK. Rooms are old, damp, mildewed . Towels and linen mildewed. Staff were slow to respond to needs and unfriendly. Jacuzzi was broken. Lobby bathroom was filthy. Spa - not air conditioned, no cold water, reused disposable slippers, changing room - filthy.
Great location, wonderful staff, quiet and beautiful property, excellent food options.
The only small but important wrinkle is the internet access. Mobile access in Eswatini is terrible compared to the rest of Africa, including poorer countries such as Rwanda. That ’s for Government to sort out, urgently. Meanwhile RSS Hotel Management should provide a strong WIFI signal include in the room rate. This is global standard.
Overall a great place to stay and we will be back.
Nice place for a family or group of friends to spend a few quiet days in eSwatini. Rooms are ample and comfortable. Bugs are an inevitable problem because of the location.
It was just a Amazing few rest days in a wonderful Hotel.

Vu le prix, internet gratuit aurait été appréciable. Propre mais un peu vieillot, nombreux équipements mais usine à touristes. 45min pour avoir nos plats de pâtes à midi

Overnight stay in Swaziland
Staff were really friendly and helpful but the hotel is looking a little tired and needs a refresh....
My second visit. This visit was just as good as I remember. The hotel is first class, championship golf nearby, and not too expensive, Planters restaurant excellent, as was the breakfast. The hotel staff are welcoming, courteous, friendly and efficient. Try the health spa, really nice. You can gamble here if you wish, or as we did, watch and listen to the live music. A very nice experience.
Royal Swazi Spa was a wonderful hotel! The surroundings are perfect. You can look at beautiful mountains from the outdoor bar or from outside your room. There is a good spa, golf court, many restaurants and a casino. This was our best stay in this holiday! The only little minus was the food in the ala carte restaurant. It was not good, but the service there, as in any place of the hotel, was excellent. The food at the buffet and for breakfast was perfect. This is a place I can recommend for anyone, and I will probably go back some day. MBabane is a nice place, with friendly people. And you feel safe everywhere. A beautiful hotel, great city, and a wonderful Country!
Stayed for 3 nights, only on the check-in day, receiving 2 bottles of water. No more complimentary water afterwards, even asked for some and was refused to provide. Internet, limited to 500mb per day. After house-keeping, one pillow was on the floor, no new soap and tea bags were replaced. Definitely, not going to stay in that hotel.
Quite far out from main cities but the hotel has some excellent amenities

My stay at Royal swazi spa was a pleasant one. Though they could improve their rooms and and room service menu. The food was not up to the hotels standard.

Too much was wrong
Could not recommend for business. The free wifi is miserly so you have to buy more - it is not expensive, but the inconvenience and bad vibe surely cannot be worth the charge for Royal Swazi. Plus, there were several times when the internet was 'out' anyway. Room was very large but dated. I had a big balcony but could not use it because it was close to some noisy hotel plant - kitchen air conditioning or something. There was nowhere suitable to meet for business. Lounge area too dimly lit, and often noisy - only suitable tables to work at were outside, where there were mosquitoes, or it was raining, or where, post rain, a gust of wind would deposit an umbrella-load of water on you. The gym was hard to find and a long way from my room, and you had to pay to use it.
Little things were wrong - no globe in a lamp, an empty salt cellar (not even plugged at the base) with room service, an inedible meal. I was on crutches, yet they put me in an upstairs room and there is no lift.
Breakfast buffet was pretty good, and service in general very nice but I would not go back and cannot recommend this hotel.
Wir hatten ein Standard Zimmer nach hinten, war trotzdem schön.Allerdings waren die Abflüsse im Bad verstopft, so dass wir nach dem Duschen eine Überschwemmung im halben Zimmer hatten..
Kann mal passieren aber dann sollte man sich zumindest entschuldigen, was beide Rezeptionnisten nicht für nötig fanden. schöner Pool, aber kalt. Jakuzzi warm, aber mit ca 20 Kindern überfüllt. Frühstück und Abendessen sehr gut.
Food was excellent. Room was spacious and neat. Wi-fi was a disappointment because in most of the time it wasn't working and besides 300Mb is too little. Shower also can be improved as showering in the bath is not comfortable.
