Run by a friendly Dutch couple we moved to this accommodation after originally checking in to the very disappointing Plett Backpackers. Albergo was half the price, felt safer and had a much better atmosphere. The room was basic and a bit noisy as it was next to the kitchen, but they accommodated on the day and it was one of... More

We arrived there by accident, and ended up staying for a week. Plett is such a beautiful place and Albergo makes it worth while to stay. The place is beautifully decorated, very very clean and relaxing. But most of all- the crew is amazing. They will help you with anything you need with a big smile on their faces, and... More

This was my very first backpack hostel and trust me I will do it again! I've only stayed in hotels or B&B's therefore was very nervous about staying in a backpackers lodge but Albergo made it a unique style bed without the breakfast. The dorms were clean, the bathroom was maintained the general lounge area clean and inviting. Marijam taught... More

The hostel is located in a large villa in a side street in Plettenberg Bay close to a lot of cafes, restaurants, internet centers and laundromat services. Its a great social hub in Plett with a garden and camp fire for the guests. All activities in the Garden Route including bungee, whale watching etc can be arranged from the hostel... More

The Albergo for Backpackers is a nice hostel. Everything was clean and the staff was very nice. They have a kitchen, incase you want to prepare your own meal and have amenities such as hammock, pool table, tv room plus they light a bonfire every night. Can only recommend Albergo as it has a good vibe to it! More

Stayed here for a few nights in a double ensuite room. Very clean and comfortable. The staff were great at recommending local attractions and booking them. There's also a fab bonfire in the evening where it's possible to meet other travellers. The main street of Plettenberg Bay is probably a 1 min walk away (if that!). More

Albergo was a great place to stay. We had been travelling for quite awhile and were tired so it was a nice place to hang out/relax. The firepit outside was great and there were hammocks. Everything was spread out enough that you never felt crowded. The dorm rooms were large and clean with a fantastic view off the balcony. They... More

We stayed 3 nights at Albergo in Plettenberg Bay. The backpackers is really friendly and clean. We booked a double with ensuite and had a lovely room in an annex. It was very tastefully furnished, had a small sitting room and we shared a kitchen with 2 other rooms. There was a Brai each night, free tea and coffee an... More
