    The Blades Valentines Day 2026

    rating17 Feb 2026

    We had been to the blades for the day after Valentine's Day in 2025 and enjoyed our stay so much that we booked again for 2026. I booked on bookings.com in February 2025, but was disappointed with the room we received, which did not even overlook the dam. In 2026, we stayed on Valentine's Day, and the hotel hosted a Valentine's dinner, which I had to pay an additional R50.00 as my booking was for half board. The Menu was slightly dissapointing but nevertheless we enjoyed everything we ordered and loved the atmosphere that was created with a secluded table, a complimentary drink on arrival, a rose and a chocolate. There was also live music, which was awesome, and we had a very romantic dinner. The staff at the Hotel were friendly and accommodating, we just struggled to get hold of them for room service as it seems the front desk attends to these requests, and when they are busy, the phone goes unanswered. In our room, there was a door which has a interleading passage to the unit next door. This door had some vinyl on it to create priviacy but it acted like a light box from outside, which meant we could not have a dark room unless it was dark outside. I think if they put a blind or something on this door, it would be better. Sadl,y also when we arrived, the bathroom smelled like a blocked drain and a bit later on the entire room smelled like that. Luckily, though the smell dissapated but, we had to keep the bathroom door closed. Overall, we did have a great evening at the hotel and enjoyed the atmosphere and being away from the city. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast buffet the next morning was delicious. Madelein Geier, Marketing at The Blades Hotel, responded to this review Dear pbuckl282443,Thank you for your feedback, and for taking the time to write about your visit.It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the Valentine's dinner and the romantic atmosphere created during your stay. We truly appreciate your kind words about the friendly and accommodating staff.We apologize for the room issues you experienced, including the view and the odour concern. Your feedback about the door and room service will be shared with our team for immediate action.We will make sure to address your constructive feedback to enhance our guests' experience for future visits.We look forward to welcoming you back to The Blades Hotel soon!Kind regards,Madelein GeierSales Manager
