Nice hotel in a good location

We had a very nice 2-day stay in a room on the 1st floor. Luckily a member of staff was available to carry our 2 heavy suitcases up the stairs, as we were surprised to find there was no lift. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice of hot and cold food.

Hotel and crew were delightful, very friendly. Room was absolutely great, the bed even better. We booked the room also for a relaxing bath. However, the hotel didn’t provide the bath foam and a mission to the stores outside unfortunately wasn’t a succes so no bath :(

Horrible trend in bathroom design

There is a new trend in hotel design worldwide which this hotel follows and it needs to stop. Not having proper walls and doors in bathrooms within the room. There is no privacy since the walls are now made of cristal so all the bedroom is illuminated by the bathroom, and the doors don't shot so noise and smell flow into the bedroom effortlessly. There is no way of going into the bathroom and not waking up other people in the room. It's a nightmare when traveling with friends and work colleagues!

Very nice property right on the harbor. Room was clean. Staff was good, but service was slow in restaurant. Parking is an issue as there are a limited number of spaces in front of the hotel.

We only stayed for one night. Our room as great with a lovely view over the harbour. Was a bit disappointed that when being shown to the room, the staff member took time to show us the restaurant only for us to be told around an hour later that it was fully booked. The room was clean and comfortable with a great sized bathroom. Housekeeping had not left us any milk/creamer. I asked at reception for some and was told it would be sent from the restaurant. After waiting over 30 minutes, I went to the restaurant myself and was given a jug of milk. Shame that these issues with service took some of the shine off our experience.

Lovely stay in Mossel Bay

Lovely stay here . Location great and breakfast outside with fabulous view. Staff friendly . The only issue is the heavy door when people in other rooms close doors during the night . Very loud and you can hear people talking in opposite rooms so soundproofing an issue when trying to sleep and heavy duvet in summer. Otherwise I would def stay here again.

Just a 1 night stay. Unfortunately room 414 was against the street so a lot of noice from traffic going to the harbour. The occupant of room 413 under our unit was cooking with his door open so all the odor went up to our room. Friendly staff, good breakfast.

When we arrived late and in the rain. We were greeted at reception by a super member of staff who offered us a glass of sherry. The room was fantastic and comfortable. We opted for dinner at the hotel restaurant which was absolutely delicious. In the morning another friendly staff member at reception gave us free tickets to a local museum.
