The original Royal Hotel dates back to 1897 and still has a tranquil atmosphere reminiscent of days gone by. In keeping with its origins, our spacious and comfortable rooms are furnished in typical old-fashioned styles but with modern conveniences. Come and experience our warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere, whether for a weekend breakaway or just having a delicious home-cooked meal in our restaurant. 

Experience a slice of country life by relaxing on the street facing "stoep" (verandah) whilst enjoying refreshments or a meal and observing the typical small town activities. Steytlerville is the undiscovered gem of the Karoo in the Eastern Cape, about two hours from Port Elizabeth and two and a half hours from George. The Royal Hotel is en-route between Addo Elephant National Park and Oudtshoorn, forming part of the well-known Cape to Addo Tourist route. Steytlerville also lies at the Eastern Entrance to the World Heritage site of The Baviaanskloof.
