Bom café da manhã para o preço. Chuveiro excelente, com água quente e forte. Porém, não recomendo. O wi-fi não funcionou bem, a vizinhança é barulhenta (uma pizzaria e um bar) e o lençol da cama estava manchado e as fronhas tinham cheiro de usadas. Encontramos também restos de plástico deixado por outros hóspedes no carpete. Ou seja, a limpeza é muito ruim. ##### LEONARDO ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 3 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Simply an excellent lodge.... ##### Mark ### 8/10 Good #### Gustavo 3 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Dentro da normalidade Foi um estadia tranquila. Estacionamento bom e seguro e equipe treinada. Café da manhã de acordo pelo valor da estadia ##### Gustavo ### 2/10 Terrible #### Leonardo 19 Feb 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Não recomendo Hotel com estrutura muito ruim. Uma casa velha com vários quartos. Banheiro sem privacidade. Os quartos não têm frigobar. Café da manhã fraquíssimo. Apesar de ser em uma boa localização, melhor seria ficar mais próximo do waterfront. Portanto, a não ser que não tenha possibilidade de investir um pouco mais na estadia em Knysna, não recomendo. ##### Leonardo Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kaj 30 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Boende i Knysna Centralt läge med gångavstånd till centrum, men bullrigt, egen parkering.

Wir hatten das Zimmer zum Marktplatz und bis nach 2.00 Uhr nachts war es von dem angrenzenden Restaurant unmöglich laut!! Die Matratzen sind völlig durchgelegen und uralt. Wir würden diese Unterkunft nicht wieder buchen. Es war auf unserer 3,5 wöchigen SA- Reise mit Abstand das schlechteste Hotel. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Cesar 14 Nov 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente localizaçao Hotel com boa localizaçao, perto de Waterfront, bares, restaurantes e comercio. ##### Cesar ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Oct 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place, lovely staff, great breakfast Nice place, lovely staff, great breakfast.

New management has updated and improved this classic hotel. The nearby pub is a disturbance unless you go there yourself. Good restaurants are not close by within walking distance. ##### Claes ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas 4 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent value in Knysna Very helpful lady on reception. Room was comfy but traffic noise could be a problem for light sleepers-ask for a room at the back. Breakfast was served on the verandah at the back which was nice. It was also good. Honesty bar in reception worked well. Would recommend. ##### Nicholas ### 8/10 Good #### EDUARDO 14 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### EDUARDO ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 31 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness #### For a one-night stop in Knysna It was ok for one night, within walking distance of some shops, the waterfront and restaurants.
