“Great view, incredibly helpful staff”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We have been here many times and every time we are treated as if we were VIPs! Not a very grand hotel, but very family-oriented and suited for a hotel right next to the beach. They have a stellar crew here who will help you with or provide you with anything you can think of. Also a nice fun room... More

“These are the good old days”

The Windsor Hotel in Hermanus is a most delightful return to the Good Old Days. At the same time it gives you a grand experience of the present - a holiday which behaves as a holiday should. Crashing waves, exquisite views, wonderful (low-key, professional) service and management. Delicious breakfasts overlooking the sea and rocks. And excellent value for money. I... More

“Old-world charm - not for snobs”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

Having stayed in this hotel from 15 April to 20 April 2013, I have only fine things to say. This sea-facing hotel has a very long history, beautifully depicted in the display of well-framed old photographs in the public areas. Gentle music is barely audible. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and in mint condition, being tidied every day, if... More

“Olde worlde charm with excellent service”

Reviewed 17 April 2013

My husband and I took a short break and booked in at the Windsor Hotel in Hermanus. Our comfortable, large room (en suite) overlooked the sea, with only a narrow, quiet road between us and the rocks and waves. Sitting on the balcony, sipping some chilled wine and watching the crashing waves was such a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The... More

“Could do with a spruce up but lovely staff”

Reviewed 21 March 2013 via mobile

Perfect setting with stunning views. Hotels.com had buggered up our date of arrival but lovely receptionist quickly sorted it. Room was adequate size but really needed a makeover, tired decor and furniture. Breakfast choice was excellent but hot stuff could have been kept at a higher temperature. Good parking area, all staff we encountered were polite and welcoming. Would have... More

“Nice hotel with an awsome view!”

Reviewed 14 March 2013

We really enjoyed our stay at Windsor Hotel in February this year. There were no whales to see, but the view was nice anyway. The sounds of the waves made us sleep tight at night. The town and surrounding area is cozy. All this combined with great service, wonderful breakfast and the relaxing atmosphere made it a wonderful stay. It... More

A small old fasioned Hotel, but very nice and warm hospitality, just a cross the street you are invited for a walk along the Indian Ocean coast, a beautiful Nature Reserve ful of all kind of flowers, and the whales approaching from the blue ocean!

Dirty room and bathroom, I had a cockroach land on my bed in the middle of the night. Rooms are also very warm I had to sleep with the window open. The shower goes from hot to cold 100 times during a shower. The bathroom fan was ad loud as a jumbo Jet. The place does have some old charm... More

Dear npdsomerhayes, Is this it? Is this your valuable contribution to the hospitality trade of South Africa? I feel that you may have watched "Ramsay's Hotel Hell" lately and you feel that now you would like to be a hotel reviewer. You give us 4 stars for Value, 4 stars for Location, 3 Stars for Service, but an unidentifiable bug... More

Stayed on this hotel en route to the garden route. The location , views of the ocean are breath taking. You can see the ocean , smell it and hearing it roaring from your room. You can walk to most restaurants without any fuss. The rooms are dated, the beds are old and sunken in the middle. There is no... More
