Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately the ‘villa’ we booked was not quite how the pictures made it seem. Quite abit of damage and rubbish around the outside of the property. The pool was disgustingly dirty and the hotel manager told us ‘that’s just south Africa’ also to be told on check in, don’t worry about the rough locals - just keep your blinds down…not exactly what we paid for. Being 500m down the road from the hotel made it feel quite isolated and unsafe. We booked the hotel because we needed abit more space than a typical hotel room would provide - we have a 6 month old baby…however given that it is not advertised that it’s not part of the hotel then that meant we left 3 days early due to the above. No refund was offered and the owner was due to call…never did. Overall really disappointing - I rarely write a review but this was worthy, especially given the rate was nearly £400 a night

Cute lil hotel in Paternoster

We stayed here for a night after dining at Wolfgat. If I'm honest, I don't feel the need to visit Paternoster again but if you do, then this is a cute little hotel to stay at. There are 2 small sized pools and the rooms are pretty small too but the service and breakfast were both great.

Comfort and an amazing location!

We stayed for one night with our daughter and son in law. The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms very comfortable. The only complaint was no feather pillows (our personal preference) but the half/half pillows were ok. We did not eat dinner at the hotel but enjoyed breakfast in the morning, where sadly there was no freshly squeezed fruit juice which is a shame. Overall it was a lovely stay.
