This is a good hotel and one in which I would quite happily stay again. The hotel is well-located, within walking distance of most of Hermanus, and has a nice position on the shore. Our room was comfortable and of a good size, in the annexe to the main hotel, and there was plenty of parking in the underground car park below the building. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating and happy to help in any way they could. My only slight gripe was that the choices at breakfast could have been a little more extensive. Read less

This hotel is central and probably the best spot in Hermanus. Plenty of off street parking and staff really friendly comfortable beds and clean linen. The only thing we did not like was the breakfast. We paid breakfast included but went to a neighboring cafe the next day for breakfast. All in all a lovely hotel close to all amenities.

I really like this hotel. The reasons being - it’s not over priced, it has lovely rooms and it’s super central. The staff are incredibly friendly and it’s great. I have stayed in another main hotel in Hermanus but I found that to be very overpriced for what it is. This hotel works perfectly for a one or two night stay.
