드로스티 호텔

Drostdy Hotel is the premier hotel in Graaff Reinet, excellent location, historic venue and wonderful centre for entertainment in the town. This was not our first time at Drostdy Hotel, and it won’t be our last. However, maintenance issues impacted on our enjoyment, so the hotel must accept that these are historic buildings requiring attention. Staff training needs improvement.

The service is amazing, all the staff are so friendly. The food is delicious & great value (with the current exchange rate at least!). There are also 3 outdoor pools, a sauna & a small gym with a treadmill, elliptical, bike & dumbbells, which I had to myself at 6:30am. The room was great, with a huge bathroom. Bear in mind though, that if you ask for the double bed option, it’s not a double - just 2 singles, made up separately, pushed together. Not ideal if you want a cuddle and don’t want to fall through the middle! The pillows are also extremely soft, but we used the cushions instead.

We love this hotel, having stayed here on our way to honeymoon 31 years ago, and many times since. Check in, during this last trip was disappointing as I was left waiting, halfway through the check in process, while the reception staff helped another guest who came in after me. Other than that the rest of the staff were great.

Restaurant food and service needs to be reviewed. Lack of floor management and inexperienced waiters needs training.

Always special staying at the Drosdy- our 3rd stay- but a sudden spike in prices per room. Most probably as wr are a family of 3, but the floor mattrass provided for our 8 yr old- was a rock. Had dinner in the restaurant- very limited selection- with no neutral salad or chicken dish. Understandably it is seasonal. Mentioned the mattrass- to reception on checking out- but she was not at all really responsive on the feedback. Sad to see a decline in this beautiful establishment
