Good experience overall, excellent location and sea views. Bottled water should be provided in rooms per day per person as a standard requirement with this rating. Coffee in rooms and for breakfast is disappointing.

Hermanus Windsor

Peace be upon you, The stay was fine except friendliness of kitchen staff serving breakfast. My wife had a simple request asking for a potato rosti. The response was not professional. Also on day 2 there was a very foul smell coming from the toilets on ground level close to the reception. Other than that, stay was ok. Kind regards

Very unaccommodating accommodation

I had booked to go to the Windsor Hotel with friends visiting from the UK. Unfortunately I ended up having unplanned spinal surgery the week before and despite a letter from my Dr the Windsor Hotel was totally unaccommodating and flatly refused to allow me to cancel one of the rooms on the booking. Shame on them. Our friends from the UK however did still go, their comments were 'it's OK if you like hotels geared up for coach groups of tourist.'. I will be sharing my experience with friends both in UK and abroad and on social media as people should know what sort of establishment this is.

Ottima struttura nel centro di Hermanus, noi abbiamo scelto una camera vista mare e la consiglio panorama bellissimo e dal letto avevamo la possibilità di vedere le balene. Segnalo solo che manca l’ascensore per cui noi eravamo al 3 piano e con i bagagli è stato un po’ faticoso anche se il personale dell’hotel è stato molto disponibile . Buona colazione internazionale per cui assolutamente la consiglio (è presente un comodo parcheggio gratuito)

Recomendado

El hotel como bien se estipula en los comentarios se encuentra en frente de los alcantilados de Hermanus, donde puedes ver ballenas. No solo sus vistas son buenas al océano, sino la limpieza y servicio es muy bueno, lo aconsejo 100%.

The receptionist who checked us In was very unfriendly. The room looked nothing like the pictures. The room had a funny smell, the bath tub was dirty and the sheets on the bed had old blood stains on them. Not to mention there were ants all over our room. I don’t recommend this hotel to anyone.

We did not stay here after checking in. There was a horrible smell in the lobby area and the hotel rooms are no better than a Motel 6. Very disappointing. We found a very nice place to stay just down the road for much less money as well!

Lovely location

This hotel has lovely old school charm and the view of the ocean is just unmatched. We saw whales from our bedroom window everyday. The hotel is within walking distance of all the restaurants. The walking trail also starts right in front of the hotel. We had a lovely stay.
