ROYAL GIDLAS GUESTHOUSE
Affordable rooms five minutes from Crown Cafe
About this stay
Royal Gidlas is listed as a budget hotel, and the facility list stays true to that classification: no pool, spa or restaurant of its own, but a five-minute walk covers Crown Cafe Multi Cuisine Restaurant for meals out. The 8.2 rating comes from a small sample, just 14 reviews, so it's worth reading as an early but positive signal rather than an established track record on the scale of the Sun City hotels nearby. The roughly two-hour taxi transfer toward the airport matches every other property in the Moruleng area, regardless of price point. It works as a straightforward, low-cost bed for travellers prioritising Pilanesberg or Sun City day trips over on-site facilities.

Our take
This suits budget-focused travellers who want the lowest possible cost and don't mind walking five minutes to Crown Cafe for meals, since Royal Gidlas offers little beyond a room itself. The 8.2 rating is encouraging but comes from only 14 reviews, so treat it as a smaller sample than the resort hotels with thousands of ratings. It won't suit anyone wanting pool, spa or on-site dining.
- Walk to Crown Cafe Multi Cuisine Restaurant for dinner, it's the closest dining option at five minutes away.
- Book with modest expectations given the small review sample, just 14 ratings behind the 8.2 score.
- Arrange your own transport for day trips, this property has minimal on-site facilities to fall back on.
Why we love it
- Genuinely low-cost budget pricing

- Simple, functional base
Why guests love itRoyal Gidlas is about as stripped-down as this area gets: a budget room with a five-minute walk to Crown Cafe Multi Cuisine Restaurant covering meals, and little else attached. The 8.2 rating is a promising early signal, though with only 14 reviews behind it, it's a smaller sample than most other properties in this guide. It suits travellers who've already decided facilities don't matter and just need an affordable bed near Pilanesberg.
