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

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

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

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

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

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!
