2 night stay

Good pool area to relax. Safe and easy walk to town and on the doorstep of harbour restaurants. Nice view of harbour from room. A little dated compared to other hotels we’ve stayed during our travels but good and convenient nonetheless.

For staying in Knysna it is a perfect location: we had a room with a view over the lagoon, they offer breakfast, parking (which will cost 30ZAR extra per day). The staff was super friendly and helpful. you have a nice pool area. And you are right at the waterfront which is beautiful to walk around - or you can go for dining, boat tours.

8/10 Very good

We stayed for two nights in a room with a view over the harbour. The room felt a bit dated and the walls quite thin (so much so we got a call from reception asking us to turn our tv volume down as next door found it too loud - this was before 10pm). Reasonable breakfast options. We ate dinner at two local restaurants, as the hotel restaurant is only for breakfast, but getting a table could be a challenge on busy days.

Well positioned hotel

The positioning of this hotel is great; it’s right by the Waterfront. Parking is available at an additional charge. The reception staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, the room required a little maintenance – silly things like the fridge door screeched on opening, and the aircon remote wasn’t working but the shower was awesome. I don’t like a combined bodywash/conditioning shampoo which was provided, but that is a personal quirk. The Wi-Fi password (which didn’t require a separate password, linked to your room, once you had logged in), was hidden on a blue slip of paper in the keycard holder, not sure why as it was on the board, right by reception! Breakfast on Sunday was a disaster, the hotel was full (it was the oyster festival) and there weren’t enough tables, or when you found a table, it hadn’t had the cutlery replaced, coffee took for-ever to arrive (in a cup with no teaspoon….). The next day the hotel was a lot quieter, but service at breakfast was no better! The food, however, was standard breakfast food, enough variety to keep me happy (and I love breakfast!)

Great hotel in a great location, right by the water and a short walking distance to all the restaurants at the marina. Parking right at the hotel as well. Rooms are lovely, staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were good - will be staying here again next time we are in Knysna.
