Pros:

‎الإيجابيات: الفندق رائع جداً ويمتاز بتصميم أنيق وأسلوب عصري فريد. الأثاث مجدد بالكامل، والطراز العام للمكان مريح ومميز للغاية.
‎

Cons:

* الإفطار: دون المستوى المطلوب وضعيف الجودة، ويحتاج إلى تحسين كبير ليناسب مستوى الفندق.
* الخدمة والشفافية: عند تسجيل الخروج، طُلب منا دفع رسوم سياحية لم يتم إبلاغنا بها مسبقاً، وهو أمر غير احترافي وكان يجب توضيحه منذ البداية.

Excellent hotel which makes you feel very at home and well looked after.
Pros:

The historic cliff top location in central Hermanus overlooking Walker Bay is unbeatable and very convenient with the hotel having its own car park. The hotel staff are all very friendly and eager to please. The breakfasts spreads are very good and likewise dinners in the restaurant are very tasty. It is a well run establishment with good facilities. Also the hotel is ideally located for walking along the coastal path to work up an appetite or try to keep trim!

Cons:

The fish on the menu was incorrectly described as Walker Bay Catch of the Day when often it came from a different location.
