Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were large, clean, and modern, providing a cozy space with a bedroom en suite, lounge, and kitchenette. However, the absence of ironing boards and irons was a bit inconvenient. The service was exceptional, with staff being professional, genuine, friendly, and always ready to assist. The location was perfect, just a short 5-minute walk to Knysna waterfront, offering plenty of dining options and shopping. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of options to energize the body before exploring Knysna's attractions. Overall, a great value for the money spent.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were functional and modern, they lacked a cozy feel. The service was friendly but lacking in amenities for the price paid. The location was convenient, although occasional water cuts were an issue. The dining was good, especially with extended breakfast hours, and the facilities were nice overall.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The rooms were wonderful, luxurious, and spotless. I loved having 2 balconies, a living area, kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. However, the shower was a bit tricky to use, and there was water everywhere. The location was perfect, only 2 minutes' walk to the waterfront with all the great restaurants nearby.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The 2-bed apartment was spacious and comfortable, but not entirely worth the price. The location was convenient, close to restaurants and with easy access even for those with limited mobility.
