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.

Swazi Holiday.

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.

A wonderful hotel, that has everything you need!!

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.
