Ideale oornag plek.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek met 'n besonderse geskiedenis. Die kamer waar ons oornag het, was stylvol en baie gemaklik.

A comfortable stay that takes you back to the "good old days".

We had a very comfortable double room and the bathroom facilities were great, spacious, and the shower was wonderful. The towels are snowy white and smell fresh and clean. All in all, we had a good night. The hotel conjured up wonderful memories of childhood road trips in the 80s. It is a unique hotel in that sense and a "feel good" place. Our room was on the street side, but we honestly cannot say that the trucks going by bothered us. They do quiet down, and we experienced no real disturbance from around 22h00 to 05h00 the following morning. The host was also very helpful and friendly, and since the restaurant is currently closed, you have take away options in close proximity. Try the fish and chips across the road from the privately owned little take away shop; it was a very enjoyable meal.

Dear Michelle,

Kind regards,

Teleurstellend.

Verblyf was maar aan die ouderwetse kant, maar darem skoon! Die feit dat die kombuis en kroeg toegemaak is, is onaanvaarbaar! Dit word nie aan jou gesê met jou bespreking nie! Die enigste plekke wat kos kan voorsien, is Wimpy en Steers!

Disappointing.

Accommodation was on the old-fashioned side, but at least clean! The fact that the kitchen and bar are closed is unacceptable! This is not told to you with your booking! The only places that can provide food are Wimpy and Steers!

Teleurstellend.

Die webtuiste is misleidend. Die restaurant is toe en nie soos die webtuiste dit beskryf nie. Ons moes gaan kos soek. Kamer is netjies maar die hotel is maar moeg en ruik soos 'n outehuis. Als is toegesluit, en trokke raas vreeslik. Lyk of hulle nie in 'n veilige area is nie. Beslis nie die geld werd nie.

Disappointing.

The website is misleading. The restaurant is closed and not as the website describes it. We had to go look for food. Room is neat but the hotel is just tired and smells like an old house. Als is closed, and trucks make a terrible noise. Looks like they are not in a safe area. Definitely not worth the money.

Die lawaai van die deurnagtrokke en -lorries het slaap onmoontlik gemaak. Die ander nare verrassing was dat daar geen kombuis is nie. Ons het dit nie so verwag nie, anders het ons vroeër langs die pad iewers aandete geëet. Hoekom hierdie inligting nie alreeds op die website sit sodat gaste kan kies of hulle dit so wil beplan al dan nie.

Die hotel is direk langs die N1, die geraas wat oorverdowend. Miskien moet die hotel vir gaste oorpluisies gee wanneer hulle in check. Ons het aanvaar 'n "hotel" sou 'n kombuis hê, of ten minste 'n opsie vir ontbyt of aandete bied. Al wat sy aangebied het, was Steers, KFC of Wimpy langsaan. As ons hierop voorbereid was, was dit geen probleem nie. Maar met mediese toestande wat nie akkordeer met die beskikbare opsies, was ons erg ontkant gevang.

The noise of the all-night trucks and lorries made sleep impossible. The other nasty surprise was that there is no kitchen. We didn't expect it like that, otherwise we would have had dinner somewhere along the way. Why is this information not already on the website so that guests can choose whether they want to plan it this way or not.

The hotel is directly next to the N1, the noise is deafening. Maybe the hotel should give guests earplugs when they check in. We assumed a "hotel" would have a kitchen, or at least offer an option for breakfast or dinner. All she offered was Steers, KFC or Wimpy next door. If we were prepared for this, it was no problem. But with medical conditions that did not agree with the available options, we were badly caught off guard.

Dit was baie minder as wat verwag was, maar dit is darem 'n bed om op te slaap.

Daar was paar probleme met die TV, aircon en muurproppe, maar verder kon ons darem rustig slaap.

Nie soos verwag nie.

Die hotel sit in die dorp direk langs die N1 m.a.w. alle vragmotors wat deur die dorp gaan is jy bewus van. Gelukkig het dit gedurende die nag bedaar. Soos ek kon oplet is alle kamers teen die pad geleë. Op die webtuiste blyk dit of daar 'n restaurant deel is van die hotel, maar helaas nie. Die perseel is ook nie vrylik toeganklik nie en moet jy skakel as jy die perseel wil verlaat of binnegaan. Of dit net die reëling was vir 'n Sondagaand weet ek nie. Op ons roete van 8 dae was hierdie was my duurste akkommodasie. Ek wou dit graag op 'n hoë noot afsluit, maar die stortkop wat ek eers met 'n cable tie moes in plek hou was die laaste demper op die akkommodasie.

Not as expected.

The hotel sits in the town directly next to the N1 i.e. all trucks passing through the town are you aware of. Fortunately it subsided during the night. As I could see, all rooms are located on the road. On the website it appears that there is a restaurant part of the hotel, but unfortunately not. The premises are also not freely accessible and you must call if you want to leave or enter the premises. Whether it was just the arrangement for a Sunday night I don't know. On our route of 8 days, this was my most expensive accommodation. I wanted to end it on a high note, but the shower head that I first had to hold in place with a cable tie was the last damper on the accommodation.

Dit is een van ons gunsteling plekke om oor te slaap.

My man beplan ons roete sodat dit altyd 'n oorslaap in Laingsburg Country Hotel insluit en dit vir die lekker skaapvleis op hulle spyskaart in die restaurant. Die kamers en badkamers is mooi skoon en die personeel baie vriendelik. Ons is elke jaar terug.

It is one of our favourite places to sleep.

My husband is planning our route so that it always includes an overnight stay in Laingsburg Country Hotel and for the delicious lamb on their menu in the restaurant. The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the staff very friendly. We'll be back every year.

Baie gemaklik, netjies en, in my geval skitterend, vir 1 nag.

Laingsburg Country Hotel is 'n wonderlike opsie om te oornag. Die diens is van goeie gehalte, die kamers is netjies en skoon en die parkering vir jou motor baie veilig. Mens kry waarde vir jou geld.

Ouwêreldse hotel - maar skoon en baie gerieflik, die kos was uitstaande.

Die hotel is oud maar alles was baie skoon en netjies. Die ontvangsdame was nie beskikbaar by aankoms en ons moes omtrent 15 min wag voor ons kon inboek. Dit was nogal fustrerend na 'n lang dag se reis. Die restaurant se kos was baie smaaklik met goeie veskeidenheid.

Old world hotel - but clean and very comfortable, the food was outstanding.

The hotel is old but everything was very clean and tidy. The receptionist was not available on arrival and we had to wait about 15 minutes before we could check in. It was quite frustrating after a long day's travel. The restaurant's food was very tasty with a good variety of vegetables.

Old charm Hotel well kept.

It is unfortunate that the Hotel is on the main road going through Laingsburg. The road was extremely busy during December and the trucks keep you awake during the night. Very unfortunate as the rest, service, the pool in the hot Karoo, food were all great.

Rooms were as expected from an economy hotel.

Rooms were clean and neat, although the second room needed some maintenance. TV was not secured neatly, the air con was not working properly and one tap in the bathroom needed a new washer. There was no coffee or milk in the rooms. Only tea and sugar. We should have known, but did not, that a hotel with rooms facing the N1 would be subject to a lot of noise. The constant noise of trucks passing through made it almost impossible to sleep. The restaurant had the worst possible food. Totally tasteless and overpriced. Even the cake was bad.

Good food and lodging if you don't mind the road noise.

The Hotel is situated right next to the main road, with 30-50 trucks per hour, 24/7, travelling along it.
