We choose this hotel because we were only staying one night and wanted to be centrally located. It is right on the waterfront. The rooms were nice, breakfast options were huge and the staff professional. I think we would have prefered to be on Thesen Island which is also centrally located and near better restaurants than those on the waterfront. More

I stayed here for two nights with a tour group. The first room I was offered seemed rather claustrophobic but I was able to change to a larger, lighter one overlooking the shopping mall, which suited me fine. I liked the free, unlimited computer use. Breakfast service was rather slow to start, though eventually there was a good selection of... More

The hotel is really modern and comfortable and it's located in the Knysna waterfront area. It's possible to have dinner in one of the five different restaurants close to the hotel and after it's so nice to have a walk in the marina to see all the sailing boat going back from the ocean. The wireless connection is free, you... More

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on a 6 night journey along the Garden Route. We ended up wishing we hadn't stayed as long. The service left a lot to be desired and the breakfast was well below average. I had to go around looking for someone to cook eggs and when I did find someone, she started... More

This is a very adequate hotel in a really good location. The rooms are clean and are of good size. Unfortunately the service although friendly and pleasant was often disorganised. We had stayed here a few years ago and standards have slipped a bit since then. More

Nice hotel with amazing views of the lagoon and the Knysna Heads. The hotel has a ship like, or motel like feeling and the rooms are double beds but they view was great. The location is fantastic right on the harbor. There are lots of shops (that close at 5 pm) and restaurants that stay open and have wonderfully fresh... More

Staff excellent, hotel great. 4 star. No gym but nice walks and reasonable pool. Right on the waterfront and whilst there are no evening meals there are plenty of restaurants beside the hotel. Some restaurants will even allow you to charge your bill to your room. More

Our room had the best view imaginable of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. No balcony but large sliding glass door. The room was spotless and everything in it appeared new. The hotel was very busy (New Year) and breakfast was a shambles. Long queue for eggs and only 1 chef and to make matters worse it was necessary to part... More
