Ok.

Pleasant stay but many nicer places in Hermanus. 10 minute walk to town. Owner was rather intense in communications. Parking not easy to get in or out of tho we were lucky and got the one more accessible space. Although spa and free bike rentals mentioned in Hotels.com information there was no sight or mention of either.on site .

This is the worst stay I ever had at any hotel booked through Hotel.com. Let's be clear; this location shouldn't be allowed to be using this service. Let's start with the positive. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was large, and the bath was much welcome. That said, the bath had no water pressure. I am not sure why the room has two single beds instead of a big bed, but that is what I booked, so no issues there. The issue is the owner. She is the most intense and unwelcoming hotel owner I ever experience. She requested money from us before we even arriving at the hotel. During checked-in, she commented about other guests 'only' coming by taxi, which we honestly felt uncomfortable with. During our entire stay, she kept contacting us and harassing us left and right. She kept requesting we pay her double what we paid to come to book the hotel on hotel.com. She made comments about people using this type of website and them taking too big of a commission. Her electronic gate malfunctioned and closed on my car, doing real damage to the rear door, and she just refused to discuss it. There is plenty of other great hotels in the region. Avoid this one at all costs.

Ótimo hotel

O hotel é uma gracinha. O estacionamento é prático, o quarto é muito confortável e o hotel fica a 6min dos cliff paths e pertinho do centro também. Achamos o café da manhã disponbilizado caro e optamos por não incluir, mas há a possibilidade. Achamos muito gentil ter o quarto disponível antes do horário do check in, pelo que agradecemos!

winter weekend

the basic layout is not suited to a guest house, and privacy would be quite a problem if it was fully booked ...luckily we were the only guests at the weekend, so it did not bother us. Accommodation is clean,neat and well appointed. Book in time of 14h00 is late and leaves very little time before the day is over in winter....if it is not busy, why not allow guests in earlier ?

Very lovely boutique hotel

This is a great hotel, beautiful rooms with everything one could require. The hotel is just minutes from everywhere and we were more than happy with our stay. The owner is super friendly and welcoming and gave us all the information we needed for a fantastic two nights in Hermanus. We originally booked one night but extended it for a further night. The wine route into hemel and aarde area is absolutely amazing.

Centralt och trevligt

Dettaguesthouse i Hermanus var verkligen en trevlig upplevelse, ägarparet är mycket serviceminded, odh de fem rummen gör stället väldigt intimt, och därmed att man har alla möjligheter att lära känna nya människor - om man vill. 16 on Main ligger på gångavstånd från Hermanus centrum och den brömda stranbpromenaden. På gångavstånd finns även en tidvattenspool, som man kan ta ett morgondopp i. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka :-D

Trevligt boende, men lyhört. Stopp i duschavloppet, så vi rensade så gott vi kunde. Trevligt bemötande.
