Traveller reviews

“Good”
13 Apr 2025
No tissues in room. Towels not dried/replaced on a daily basis. Bed not made PROPERLY on a daily basis. Kitchen staff could not handle specific food orders . Slow, tardy service. Partial seaview and listening to the sea at night totally blissful. Reception staff second to none. Always friendly and helpful.

“Excellent stay and very friendly staff”

Location is good we did not have breakfast at the hotel

“Superb”
06 Apr 2025
They didn't refill any of the biscuit containers in the room or the passage. Very disappointing. Also, would be nice if the windows were double-glazed or something, the noise from the main road was disruptive.

“Amazing view but bad timing with an unplanned power cut with limited communication.”

The view from the room was incredible of the ocean. Room was spacious.

“Disappointed. Overpriced.”

“Excellent value for money with amazing staff”
12 Mar 2025
Shout out to Emma and Jean-Claude who were so welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The coffee and breakfast was amazing, as were the home made cookies in the room (a lovely touch). The hotel is in an amazing location, a short walk from the amenities and shops in Kalk bay and opposite a beach.

“Loved it and will be back”
