What people say

The Windsor Hotel was the perfect location. It was close to all amenities and we could view the whales from our room. We had to leave early on Sunday morning and at 04h30 the night watchman let us out and gave us our packed breakfasts which were wonderful. We never expected service like that and I would really recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Hermanus.
