Lexden Guesthouse

I have travelled all over the world, and Lexden is my absolute favourite place to stay. Everything is so tastefully done, down to tiniest detail. Rooms are absolutely immaculate, and complemented by wonderful staff and owners. There is nothing I can suggest to improve upon..... perfect is exactly that.. PERFECT!

It always gives me an eas to accessing different locations, especially for shopping needs and connecting to different parts of Pietermaritzburg

We loved our stay at Lexden. We will definitely book at Lexden again. It is incredibly well located. The Lexden staff is super friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. Will definitely recommend.

Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory and left me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied. Firstly, upon booking I requested 07:30 breakfast with lactose free food. I got neither. I found the staff to be unresponsive and unhelpful in this regard but clearly the issue was that Jo never communicated my request. We were in town for a 09:00 but there was no urgency in serving the breakfast. Instead we were repeatedly reminded that breakfast is only at 08:00 on several occasions. I requested various things such as hot water, coffee, rooibos but my requests were ignored or not adequately or timeously received To make matters worse, the breakfast provided was underwhelming and unappetising, perhaps it may be because even the most basic elements took so long to be cooked. Overall, I feel that my experience at your BnB was far below the standard that I have come to expect from such accommodation. As a paying guest, I believe that I deserved better treatment and service. I hope that you will take my feedback seriously. It’s a pity because some owner managed establishments don’t often feel they need to respect the very people that keep them running in business, and Jo’s attitude towards us definitely makes her the worst host I’ve come across

Beautiful lux b&b nestled in the quiet hills of Pietermaritzburg. Welcomed on our arrival and made to feel relaxed within seconds. Luxurious linen and everything was spotless. Room is surrounded excellent landscaped garden and all details have been well thought out. Highly recommend it for families, couples or friends.

Beautiful Clean place with spacious rooms that have all the amenities needed. The reception was very welcoming and we were taken by the host to the room. The atmosphere was very peaceful. All appliances were working. The wifi network was, however, very bad.
