Somerset Hotel

Every part of the Somerset hotel has a story to tell. From the hand-crafted woodwork in our well-known bar to the thoughtfully preserved pieces in our dining area, we take great care to keep the true character of this 19th-century landmark alive.

Whether you’re after a comfortable en-suite room, an affordable stopover, or a relaxed backpacker stay, the Somerset Hotel offers a range of accommodation at the foot of the Boschberg Mountain. All our rooms have been thoughtfully updated to include modern comforts while retaining their original charm.

Step through our swinging doors and into living history. Our distinctive U-shaped bar is well known across South Africa, with its warm wooden setting having welcomed generations of locals and travellers. More than just a place for a drink, it’s where stories are told and friendships begin. Settle in with a cold drink and enjoy genuine Somerset East hospitality in a space that has only grown better with time.
