An extremely clean and comfortable hotel in great position for everything Hermanus has to offer. And those magnificent sea views.

Very unaccommodating accommodation
I had booked to go to the Windsor Hotel with friends visiting from the UK. Unfortunately I ended up having unplanned spinal surgery the week before and despite a letter from my Dr the Windsor Hotel was totally unaccommodating and flatly refused to allow me to cancel one of the rooms on the booking. Shame on them.
Our friends from the UK however did still go, their comments were 'it's OK if you like hotels geared up for coach groups of tourist.'. I will be sharing my experience with friends both in UK and abroad and on social media as people should know what sort of establishment this is.

Always worth it!!
When it’s affordable we always like to stay at Windsor because of the lovely breakfast as well as the location and the fact that it is just a lovely place! We loved the renovations!!

We literally walked into the room and checked out immediately. The room was supposedly non smoking but it stank of smoke. No restaurant open either.

Good experience overall, excellent location and sea views. Bottled water should be provided in rooms per day per person as a standard requirement with this rating. Coffee in rooms and for breakfast is disappointing.

Hermanus Windsor
Peace be upon you,
The stay was fine except friendliness of kitchen staff serving breakfast. My wife had a simple request asking for a potato rosti. The response was not professional. Also on day 2 there was a very foul smell coming from the toilets on ground level close to the reception. Other than that, stay was ok. Kind regards
