The Victoria Hotel is an 1865 bluestone pub on Albyn Terrace in Strathalbyn, with ensuite motel rooms upstairs.
Facing Angas Park in the centre of town, it is one of South Australia's oldest pubs and has open fires. Every room has its own ensuite, and the spa rooms add a two-person spa. All have a queen bed, some with extra singles, plus reverse-cycle air conditioning, electric blankets, a bar fridge and tea and coffee facilities. Continental breakfast is provided, and access to the rooms is by stairs only. The dining room serves pub favourites and modern Australian food built on local produce. Adelaide is about 40 minutes away, and guests often mention friendly staff.
Stayed for 2 nights, staff were very accommodating and polite with all requests made, bar and table service was excellent. The food was plentiful and tasty, the price comparable to any country pub. The continental breakfast, cereal and toast with jams etc was fine. Would have liked some napkins in room and an extra bin bag, the lights from hallway did shine in a bit to much, not a really big deal for these things..... otherwise a very good experience all round and recommended.
Popped in for lunch with the family. Nice and cosy place. Staff are lovely. The food was good. I had the Mexican parami, tbh it was ok, it wasn't bad, a little bland compared to what I expected. Would I get it again, No, would I get a different schnitzel yes. The wife of the roast pork, she said it was a little dry and over cooked. We have had better here, maybe it was an off day. But we will return.
A very nice hotel in a fantastic location either way. Staff were friendly. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Great value including breakfast. Only negative to mention was the cold shower.
Over priced. 15/08/26 Service was quick and food was hot. I got fish and chips. $30 The chips were under cooked and there was a very small coleslaw approx 1 tbsp max and a very small amount of tarter Mayo. My wife had the seafood combo $35 Same issues as mine. We dined at the Commercial on High St. 14/08/26 much better (salad bar)
