Historic West Coast charm meets incredible hospitality!
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious and the staff were great, with a lovely sense of care in the way it was served. The location was excellent, with the beach a mere 5 minute walk.

Cons:

Nothing not to like, makes for a great overnight in the majestic Paternoster.

Great spot.
Pros:

The property is well located, just a short walk to the beach. We liked the Panty Bar attached to the property. Good fun! The hotel is small enough to get to speak with other guests at meals. The food is very nice and the portions are huge.

Cons:

Nothing

Paternoster hotel
Pros:

Carisma is an amazing human being ,and your lady at reception,all very friendly.
Staff all very friendly,place and location Great, breakfast was also great, however,staff need to be aware of when serving your clients,staff are still eating and have food in their mouths while serving us.
The lady with the patch on her eye,not professional.you cannot be coming out of the kitchen with breakfast in your mouth and serving us .

The showers were great and upgraded,but the rooms need more upgrading in terms of maybe a microwave or small fridge in the rooms., other than that the stay was pleasant.
Thank you again for your hospitality

Pros:

The breakfast was great, the staff were fantastic and the location very central. Thankfuly they supplied fans, or the heat would have been extreme

The rooms are incredibly dated, showers are in the bath and no fridge available in the rooms, which was a bit disappointing. Definitely needs some maintenance
