Three of my high school friends and I spent a night at the Windsor Hotel in Hermanus on a weekend road trip to celebrate our 50th birthdays. We had a lovely stay at the Windsor. It is well situated and our rooms were not only comfortable and nicely appointed, but also offered a lovely view of the ocean. It was...

Stayed at Hermanus on my way to Gansbaai, well made it to Gansbaai but it was to quiet for my the hotel has an amazing location and history but it looks better from the out side than the inside
Staff was friendly and location is great
It is a shame with the location and history of the hotel that is...

The Windsor Hotel has always felt like a home away from home. We always feel welcome, treated with respect, a friendly smile and curtious attitude with every stay. They are busy with some refurbishment, which may still take some time, but as with all good things... these take time and based on what we've seen so far, we look forward...

Spent Easter weekend here as we had left it too late to book anywhere else. Hotel is old but appears to be having revamp done. Had a sea-facing room, room had plenty of space and had small sitting area which opened onto balcony overlooking Indian Ocean. Unfortunately furniture was old and broken and bed was extremely uncomfortable. Breakfast was ample...

Dear SMurphy,
Thank you so much for your review. On the whole, we found it to be positive and in some parts constructive. I must point out, that there are a few inaccuracies. The Hotel faces the Atlantic Ocean and NOT the Indian Ocean. The Hotel has also had a liqour license since the early 1900's. (In fact, we have...

Had a nice stay at the Windsor Hotel. Would strongly recommend an ocean view -- we loved it. Our room had a walk-out deck too which was an added bonus. Breakfast was great too.
Dear Toronto1975,
Thank you for making the Windsor Hotel part of your trip to South Africa. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us!
When in South Africa again, please stop by, even if just to say hello.
Kind regards,

The Windsor Hotel is, as the name implies, very much like a British hotel. Unfortunately it's very much what a British hotel would have been like in the 1970s and 80s! It is very reminscent of hotel stays I had as a child, with the big hotel keys and the slightly snotty atmosphere. The location is great, within easy walking...

This hotel is very well located right on Marine Drive overlooking the ocean. Thats about all it has to recommend it unfortunately. The decor is desparately in need of substantial revamp and appears dingy and in parts even dirty ( eg carpets). The breakfast is fairly poor quality. For the price its expensive and its worth looking at other alternatives...

Dear NMTraveller,
Thank you for staying at the Windsor Hotel and your comments. We always welcome constructive criticism and although there are some interesting points, I am somewhat confused at most of your comments and your factual inaccuracies.
I invite you to email me directly (blake@windsorhotel.co.za) with your price comparison as far as alternative accommodations concerned.
I would also ask...

We , my wife and I are also in the Hospitality Industry in Montagu at The Victorian Hotel,

It was absolutely bliss, from the current owner , the General Manager , Reservations ladies, the Breakfast staff, Housekeeping ladies, ect. Just one word great ,...

All the best,

Anyone who critizes the Windsor Hotel for being "old" should go stay in a Holiday Inn Express! This property dates back to the late 1800's - the amazing architecture, location and views that can never be repeated in modern times. At the same time, the spaciousness of the interior of this lavish property is totally modernised - although at the...

Dear Daytonahotels,
Wow!! Blown us away.
I would like to point out that you did send me a private email in which you gave me some constructive critiscim (which we have acted on), but I would like to thank you for your comments and your responsible behaviour as an international traveller.
I look forward to seeing you back again.

This is an old hotel that is perfectly situated in Hermanus for whale watching. An adequate room for one night but I wouldn't have stayed longer than that. The buffet breakfast was plentiful & tasty. The hotel owners should think about modernizing the rooms to bring the hotel up to date. And beware, there is no elevator/lift.
Dear Nadream,
Thank you for your comments. Please have a look at our Tripadvisor Photos and definitely our Facebook Page (Hermanus Windsor Hotel) for all the updates and the refurb the last few months.
A lot of money has been spent on the upgrades. I am confident that you would agree with me that we are now worth more than...
