Top 5-Star Hotels in Upington

We chose to stay at River Place Manor in Upington as a stop off and return for our trip to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park based upon the very good reviews and we were not disappointed with our choice. Everything about our stays was wonderful. The 2 rooms we stayed in were both large and spacious, comfortable and clean, quiet and very well presented and equiped and with fabulous views of the Orange River. The rooms had the benefit of a small kitchen area with kettle, microwave and fridge / bar and a balcony overlooking the well tended garden fronting the beautiful river. All the staff were super friendly and polite. Breakfast was perfect with a great selection of hot and cold choices. The cooked English breakfast and Eggs Benedict were great. We also had dinner in the restaurant each night of our 3 nights stay and the food and service were top class and extremely good value. We arranged a transfer from and to the airport provided by the guest house, which was very convenient being less than a 10 minute drive away. Overall, River Place Manor deserves a 5 star rating and should we be lucky enough to visit the Northern Cape again in the future, this will be our number one choice of places to stay.

A very nice venue overlooking the Orange river which was very full and flowing fast during our visit. Our room was very clean and private and was well furnished. A bit dissappointing that the venue (as a 5 star establishment) did not offer any meals even though they had a restaurant overlooking the river

The room layout is beautiful and the front desk welcomes you warmly. The service staff took the initiative to deliver the luggage to the room. The hotel is located next to the Orange River and has beautiful views from the window. It is the first choice in Upington. Thanks Protea Hotel by Marriott for a great trip.

This place is ideally located as the first location offering (there's plenty in the area to choose from) when you enter Upington along the N14. So, after a long drive to the Northern Cape from Rustenburg, its location was ideal for us as a midway stop to where we had planned to visit. We chose this place for its value for money package and how it easily accommodated our little one. For the price, we also had breakfast included. We opted for an upgrade of our room, to one with both a shower and bathtub and we were gladly granted that request. A bathtub makes bath time easier with a little one. The room we were given was upstairs (number 3) and had an extra mattress prepared for us. The room was so spacious that our little one could easily play around with his scooter inside. We're glad we had enough space in the car to pack his favorite mobile toy for him to enjoy here! The room had pretty much everything you can think of in it for functionality purposes - aircon, comfy bed, bar fridge, extra blanket, safe, study table and chair, couch, complimentary water, DStv, clean and fresh towels. The TV is cleverly positioned away from the study area to give privacy to those using the table and chair for reading or writing purposes. The DSTV also had many channels available, which meant that our little one could watch any cartoon channel he wanted to, all day long. The room also had a tea and coffee station, with snacks and drinks, the snacks and drinks were available for purchase. The room had a wooden floor and an outside balcony area. The area is also safe with gated access and limited covered parking. The atmosphere around the place is one that is peaceful, in touch with nature and calming. There's lush green grass and plants around with a massive pool and beautiful ponds all around with fish to see. There are two friendly ducks, which our son loved to see and greet each time he saw them and there are some springboks at a distance to see as well when you walk around the area to take everything in. The animals were a special touch that the place offered and our son really enjoyed that element to the place. There was unfortunately no jungle gym (play area) as I had expected from the online images I have seen. The place did not also offer dinner/lunch but that was highlighted at check in. The room also did not have a microwave to warm up the takeaway food but was not a deal breaker. The place is located close to the Kalahari Mall and an Engen garage for filling up. Browns Manor was an ideal accommodation spot for us as we had planned to visit the Augrabies Falls, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes drive away from the National Park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

The place is clean in general and they clean your room nicely. The staff is friendly in general. The breakfast is very good I really enjoyed it. The road next to it can get very busy at night and can disturb your sleep if you are a light sleeper. The aircon in my room could barely make my room cold and struggled something bad and was making strange rattling noises. There is no restaurant for eating in and you can order in from the place at Protea hotel but by the time your food arrives it is almost cold but at least there were some nice places close to it. avoid the KFC across the road. Red Ox has some amazing food and a nice atmosphere.

I really enjoyed my stay at Desert Palace. There is so much to do there. The staff are really friendly and the rooms are well equipped and comfortable. The only issue I had was that I was given a packed lunch containing meat when I asked for a veggie meal. But apart from that, everything was perfect!
