The accommodation / overnight stay was adequate, but not recommendable.
Good day. Thanks to leaky sleep for suggestions. Albertinia Hotel provides basic amenities and upgrades are lacking. The necessary comfort was missing, e.g. Good mattress and pillows, as well as sufficient bedding for a winter evening. It was also difficult to maintain communication as the phones rang and rang. Security is limited - the front gate itself is meager.

We had a fantastic time in the hotel. Everything was clean and tidy and the bed's mattress is nice and firm which ensures a good night's rest. We had a TV and the electric fan in the room also works very nicely. The food is of very good quality and the ribs are a winner. The people are incredibly friendly there. Will definitely visit the hotel again and spend the night. Albertinia see you again soon.

Good location for Capetonians traveling to the Eastern Cape. Characterful building with lots of potential. The rooms, bathrooms and common areas could definitely do with renovation.
We were the only guests and could not move out of the hotel before 8 am. We were locked in without it being mentioned to us.

Goeiedag John
Ek is baie jammer u voel so.
Ek het u ingeboek en ook bedien.
Die kos wat u bestel het, het u vir my gese u vrou kan dit nie eet a.g.v u vrou se breuk. Daarom gaan u ook nie eet. U het ook gese daar is absuluut niks fout met die kos nie. Ek het aangebied om vir u iets ander te kry en u het gese dit is al te laat. Ons was wel besig en die kos het langer gevat as gewoonlik. Regtig jammer as u so voel.
Ek voel net as dit oneetbaar was moes u vir my gese het. Ons kos is baie gewild en ons is trots op ons kos wat ons maak.
As ons 'n klagte kry vat ons dit baie ernstig op en verbeter op dit wat fout is.
Vriendelike groete

Old world, generous and rural.
The hotel is a very good overnight stop for guests who are on their way to the Cape or the Eastern Cape. Very unique atmosphere that has been well maintained by the management and the food is very tasty. Only two things that were on the negative side were our room smelled of smoke with a half full bottle of beer and cigarette butt not disposed of before our arrival. The room itself was otherwise clean and tidy and private. Would also recommend that the lighting in the court yard be stepped up for guests returning to their rooms after dark. Otherwise, very helpful staff in good old Albertinia where everything goes slower than normal and it's nice.

Comfortable accommodation, friendly and personal service.
Value for South Africans' money I have given 2 stars, for your average FT (Flippen Tourist - overseas traveller with dollars and euros) R400 per person per night is an absolute bargain. My Mandelas, however, is hard earned and a local discount option will be very welcome. Especially when more than one South African books. However, the room was adequately equipped and the radio box with a button for the old Springbok Radio brought back interesting memories. There is paid Wi-Fi that should be free of charge in our day and time. However, receiving all service providers should be good, so no reason to pay for something you already paid for. I tried the sirloin steak on the al la carte menu. Although tasty, I was disappointed. The cut was of poor quality and I cut off half as it was fat. I could not pinpoint if it was flame grilled, seemed pan fried, but I could be wrong. Much can be improved on. I can not comment on other foods. What stood out was the personal service and interest shown. It makes something like the steak seem small. Thank you very much for that.

Goeiedag Willi,
Baie dankie dat jy by ons oorgebly het en vir jou terugvoering, ons sal werk maak daarvan.
Wat die waarde vir geld betref , jy was 'n solo bespreking , nie deel van 'n groep nie en het wel vir 'n dubbelkamer gevra , alhoewel jy 'n enkel persoon was en ons het net die enkel tarief gevra en jou in 'n dubbelkamer gehuisves en soos deur jou versoek en was ons ook bereid om die kamer vir jou gebruik later as ons uitkloktyd oop te hou die volgende dag, as jy dalk weer wou kom stort na jy jou maraton voltooi het. Ons gee wel vir groepbespreking 'n spesiale tarief, alles hang af van wat die kliente benodig, grootte van die groep, etes, tydsduur ens.
Ons Wi-Fi is gratis aan alle kliente wat by ons oornag , daar is wel 'n prys van R 30.00 op die koepon gedruk deur ons Wi-Fi verskaffer, wat ons volgens ons eie diskressie kan gebruik vir dagbesoekers wat instap en soms net die Wi-Fi gratis wil gebruik.
Ek is jammer jy steak was nie na jou smaak nie, die personeel sou met graagte vir jou iets anders voorberei het, as jy vir hulle gese het jy is nie tevrede nie, ons probeer ons plaaslike besighede ondersteun, so ons sal seker maak by die slaghuis i.v.m die gehalte van die biefstuk.
Ons hoop jy het toe lekker gehardloop en jou wedloop met gemak voltooi.
Hoop om jou weer hier by ons te ontvang in die toekoms.
Die ou radio's in die kamers vang darem nog 2 plaaslike stasies op, werk van 'n ou transistor in ontvangs, wat ons so lank as moontlik en met moeite aan die lewe probeer hou.
Groete
Des en die span.
