Another great overnight stay at one of the best small hotels in South Africa. Large comfortable room tastefully decorated surrounded by magnificent surrounds and gardens all centrally located in the charming town of Graaf Reinet and just a short stroll from great coffee shops and points of interest.

Unique hotel! The room was great - comfortable and spacious. The reception staff was friendly. However, we were not completely satisfied with the quality of the dinner dishes, as well as the service provided by the breakfast personnel. They messed up the food orders a few times, and it took forever to get our coffees.

We only stayed overnight, but as usual everything was exellent, from the welcome to checking out. Staff all very friendly and well informed. The food was delicious, the breakfast spread was well stocked with many choices, hot and cold. When in Graaff Reinet we always stay at the Drosdy Hotel. They have added carports for parking which is a big plus when the weather is bad. I highly recommend the Drosdy Hotel

we returned to this property due to our great experience , this time we came maybe at the back end of DEC and the service and food was under par of what they the hotel pride themselves. not to moan but when you planned all year to come here part of your holiday you expect also the same serivce. dinner we had to send our steak back twice , breakfast waited 1 hr and both our meals was tottally wrong, our room shower head was trickling so we had to use our handheld . the venue is really beautiful and our room but the food and service this time was under par,

We had a lovely stay in the Drostdy. It's a lovely hotel, staff are friendly, and the service is professsional. The manager arranged for a room upgrade once they became aware that I enjoy VIP privileges; this was much appreciated!
4-night trip

6/10

While the room was beautiful, very large and well-maintained, and reception was trying hard to do a good job, although not sufficient for a hotel of this reputation, the restaurant was clearly sub-standard. The table which had been reserved for us, was given to another guest, the restaurant manager offered us a complimentary drink, an offer which we accepted by asking for one glass of MCC each. Later one of the two was added to the bill, which we questioned. When we paid at reception the next day, it turned out that the value had been reduced from the tip - very unfair. To leave the light on in the room after turn down service is 20th century and not acceptable in a country with load-shedding …

I did not receive a room upgrade but not necessary as room spacious, beautiful furnishings and finishes. Hotel is beautiful, quaint streets for hotel rooms, excellent food, great service and amazing staff.
