Great location for exploring Knysna only a short walk down the Quay where’s there a lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy. Room was clean functional and bed was comfy. Parking was really good and safe. Breakfast was nice apart from the attitude of some of the waitress’s who were very grumpy and the worst we came across in our 2 weeks trip on the Garden Route. Overall a nice place to stay.

Gutes Stadthotel mit toller Lage im Old Quarter. Verbesserungen beim Frühstück wären wünschenswert sowie neue Liegen im Bereich des Pools

Als wir ca um 15.00 Uhr ankamen und das Zimmer beziehen wollten, war es noch gar nicht gereinigt. Wir mussten also noch warten. Im Zimmer hatte es nur eine Badewanne OHNE Duschbrause. Wir mussten also jedes Mal die Badewanne füllen um uns zu waschen (und das obwohl überall steht man soll Wasser sparen). WC wackelte beim drauf setzen. Absolut kein Haken im Zimmer um irgendwas aufzuhängen. Für ein 4-Sternehotel ziemlich mies. Frühstück war dafür sehr gut, grosses Buffet. Lage auch, 2 Min. zur Waterfront.
