The government of Swaziland and the Orion Hotel chain terminated their contractual relationship in February 2012 over a dispute about money. The hotel is open but being operated under the auspices of the Swaziland Government until a new contract with another operator can be negotiated. Most of the employees from the original Orion are still employed so there is continuity... More

I was driving thru Swaziland and I truly mean "driving thru" as being my plan. But it got too late and I had to find a place to stay. I saw road signs advertising Orion Piggs Peak Hotel & Casino and followed them until I entered a grand looking palace compared to the rest of this horrendously poor country. Prices... More

The Orion Piggs Peak Hotel is a clean and comfortable place to stay. My room provided a beautiful view of the lush Swazi hills. I enjoyed it a lot. I even took some lovely photographs to preserve the wonderful memories. My clean room had all the needed facilities in it. The staffs were friendly and were ready to go out... More

This hotel was great! I had a lovely view from my room. The hotel staff seemed friendly enough. They had a little shop with some pretty decent stuff (uniquely Swazi) in their lobby. I found the dinner to be good too (it's the only food place around the hotel, so it was the ONLY dining option), but it ended being... More

My Fiance and i took our friends to Orion Piggs Peak Hotel and Casino for new years, my fiance did all the arrangements, and when we arrived at the hotel, they did not have a booking for us, we all started to panic, and had no where to stay, but the Hotel Manager, told us we can go sit at... More

My partner and I and my mother were travelling through Swaziland and decided to stay here. We were quoted one price, charged it and paid on the spot by card and then as we walked away to go up to our room, the receptionist ran after us to stop and tell us she had charged the wrong price. I can't... More

Apparently the hotel has been remodeled since the awful reviews. I was just there and it was quite nice. The elevators were not working, but the staff delivered the bags, so no problem. The dinner and breakfast buffet's were quite nice and the pool is beautiful. I didn't see anything that the poor reviewer was talking about. I was there... More

This hotel is a Dump. There was stuffing coming out of room furniture, the mattresses were nasty and shabby, the water from the taps was so dirty and disgusting we used bottled water for 'bathing'. The staff seemed oblivious to any of these problems being worrysome and it took a 'stand' by our tour group in the lobby to even... More

What a disaster! Arriving as night fell, and greeted by AK47 toting guards, I made it to the front desk to claim my reservation, confirmed a couple of days earlier by the hotel by email. Turns out they'd bounced me, due to holding an All-Africa Poker Tournament and, as I was not a poker player, I was cleartly not likely... More
