Paternoster Hotel

We had to leave early to join a tour and were promised breakfast packs to take away. No one was around by the time we had to leave and all food prep places were locked and no staff to be found. Disappointing.

Lovely located in the middle of the town, I could see the sea from my bedroom,the food is well priced delicious , served in big portions and they do room service. Their omelette served as a breakfast choice was lovely. My bedroom was spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff is always friendly and they go out of their way to help and accommodate you. The lounge is well furnished and you have access from the lounge tothe shell shop to buy the most beautiful shell's

They did not want to sell the place

Safe building with a safe private parking. The room was spacious

nothing

The breakfast was really good.

Noisy guests. It's a tight fit in a small space. Car parking is not covered or secured.

Toilet was leaking so staff came and laid cardboard boxes on floor overnight. Room was noisy - staff making most noise.

Perfect location

Security needed for parking and staff can try and be more accommodating, especially to special dietary requirements

Staff were very friendly and tried to help and accommodate where they could.

Breakfast only starts at 8.30 which is late compared to most B&Bs

Loved every minute

Very friendly reception and welcome

Nothing, everything was great!

The central location.

The towels are thread bare, stained and terribly old. The plug in the basin did not fit for shaving. The bedside light gave no light.

Rooms decent but not great.

No service at reception, most guest left without breakfast as service only starts at 8:30. No soap, shampoo or anything in bathroom. Only one quarter of a toilet roll. Hot water wasn't available to shower in the morning. Came only on after very very long time.

Walking distance from all restsurants, craft shops,

Homely stay good breakfast

Nothing

Location, it is clean and the staff were very friendly.

None

The location which is a stone throne from the beach. The staff were very helpful and the food was also good.

The beds were uncomfortable. The floor was dusty. The entire establishment needs a lot of upgrades and it looked more like a backpacking lodge than a hotel.

Room - location - breakfast

Nil

Conveniently located hotel with friendly staff We were upgraded to a bigger room Near restaurants

Breakfast was very limited and only one helping of breakfast, a hot or cold drink

Sie liegt ideal, hat einen sehr ungewöhnlichen Charme , ist alt und neu kombiniert.

Die Fenster waren sehr verschmiert, nicht geputzt , ansonsten war es sauber.

Excellent breakfast. Friendly and accommodating staff.

Nothing.

We booked for 2 nights and stayed just one night and forfeited breakfast and moved on.

Easy to find and surrounded by nice choices for restaurants.

Had problems with the shower temperature.

We enjoyed our breakfast, eggs done just right Friendly staff

Smell of cigarette smoke in reception area

Friendly staff, comfortable beds, clean rooms, sufficient breakfast.

Problems with getting the shower temperature right. Either too hot or too cold. Hot water disappears. Parking not entirely secure. Broke into a vehicle while we stayed there.

It was really nice location. The staff is friendly.

No vegetarian food options

Everything!

Unfortunately there was a family of 5 that made a helluva noise from 9PM - 3:30 PM (doors banging, showers going).

Even before arriving we got a call that we had been upgraded to a sea view room which was so kind, the staff were so pleasant and helpful. The cot for my daughter was set up on arrival. The location is easy to find and convenient.

It is a bit outdated and for winter we found it a bit chilly. Also, but we should have confirmed so its more on us.. there was no fridge in the room which was sad. It also could do with a bit of a spring clean.

Great location and wonderful breakfast. Friendly staff.

The location is great. Walking distance to shops. The staff is very friendly and the food was great. Best calamari I've had in a long time.

Our room was clean, bed was good, but the furniture and decor very outdated. The bedside lamp didn't work on one side. The floating shelve/ coffee station should be replaced. The room needs at least a carpet. Water pressure in shower not good

Great location, fun bar

Central location A hotel with a history Spacious room - we were in a seaview room. Good breakfast - you can choose from the menu, we had a really good omelette Friendly staff.

It was peaceful and the food was very good.

Nothing

Breakfast was good. Little slow the service

Found the rooms cold

Nothing I didn't like

Clean facilities, very friendly staff. I feel I got value for my money.

Nothing

We love going to PaternosterHotel when ever we want a quick break inbetween school sport and work. The staff are always friendly and willing to go out of their way.

Everything was perfect

One of the oldest hotels in the Westcoast, centrally located in Paternoster, very friendly & staff, true Westcoast hospitality. Spacious room. We were upgraded to a sea view room. White linnen. Charming breafast room. Good breafast.

N/A

Nice place to stay. Very sentral

There is nothing that I can think off. Every thing was good.

Brilliant place/staff. Food excellent as well. So good we stayed an extra night

I enjoyed being so close to the beach and we were upgraded to honeymoon suite!!

Maybe replace the room windows with one way glass as closing the curtains spoils the perfect view!

Breakfast Easy to locate

Bar Parking

Close to the beach staff was friendly

Breakfast menu was the same daily we stayed for 5 nights. No fruit

Good, good

Maybe a small fridge

Breakfast was fantastic. There is a menu with enough options to choose from to satisfy everyone's needs. The cappuccino is a definite, the best I have tasted. The hotel is close by so many fabulous restaurants, our favorite being The Black Sails Restaurant. Fantastic Art Galleries in the town and it was awesome looking over the Bay to see the Fishermen launching their boats and then later returning to land.

There is nothing we did not like, everything at the location was as per the bookings.com site.

We loved everything about the Paternoster Hotel!

Staff and food was excellent

Tv limit channels

Breakfast was simple but very well put together. Staff were wonderful - friendly and welcoming.

BREAKFAST WAS GREAT. THE STAFF WAS AMAIZING.LOVE THE BAR AREA. HAD A FANTASTIC TIME. THANKS SO VERY MUCH/ LVE

ALL WAS GOOD

The rooms was ok. No drinking water, bar fridge, tissues

The breakfast was pathetic. I would suggest a healthy buffet breakfast with porridge, yogurt, fruit, bottomless coffee, tea, juice. The parking area is not secure, NO SECURITY on the premises at night and it's not enclosed as anyone can get to the car from the street. The entire place including the lounge area gets locked up at 9pm. The only access you have to your room from the parking unsecured area is a side door, with a key supplied. This is very unsafe.

1) The hotel was accommodating in postponing my booking to 2 weeks later than the date initially planned 2) The rooms were clean, comfortable and cleaned every morning with clean towels 3) The shower head was the best I've had

1) The breakfast was pathetic, even though they tried their utmost to cater for Halaal. You could only choose one of the items on a short menu with only 1 cup coffee, Tea or 1 glass of Juice. The same every morning.:-( 2) I would suggest a buffet breakfast with porridge, yogurt, fruit that YOU can choose from and that beverage should be bottomless. 3) The rooms lacked 2 bottles of complementary water, a small bar fridge and tissues. 4) By 9pm, the entire place gets locked up, NO PERSONAL, no access to the lounge area. The only access is a side door, with a key supplied by the hotel from the unsecured parking area that leads to the rooms. 5) NO security personal at night at the Hotel and parking area. It is on the Main road and anyone has direct access to the cars. The Hotel is not enclosed for safety purposes.

A charming place.

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast. Interesting themed bar!

This is a 3 star hotel where you get 5 star treatment. We spent 4 nights on Bed/Breakfast package . We had a sea facing room with a small veranda over looking secure car park and lawn and a view of the setting sun over the sea. Highly recommend that you choose a sea facing room Breakfast was a choice of 3 with the third being the whole eggs, sausage etc etc, toast and tea or coffee from drip filter(excellent.)I can highly recommend the mussel plater, 20 for R140! Need I say more? We ate our meals in the hotel as it was cheaper than down art the seafront. We went to the famous "Panties Bar": and it lived up what I had read about it. The barmen are very friendly and we found "klippies" to be not too expensive. Overall, a wonderful 4 days and nights in a charming hotel. Would go again, soon, if it wasn't so far from DURBAN!! Well done Management and Staff.

Nothing.

The location was nice and central.Walking distance to everything.

Was very peaceful and the breakfast were great

It's an old traditional hotel very quiet when we were there

Lustige Einrichtung

Die nötige Sicherheit war weder im Haus noch auf dem PP gegeben

The location was superbep, few steps to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and Carisma at the reception was the best. She gave us a sea view room, I couldnt have asked for more. I will surely go back.

Nothing

Staff super friendly! Jody helped and assistated us in a spectacular way. Thanks you will see us soon

Lovely hotel, fresh air, safe windows, great location, staff very helpful and kind, big room, great shower, allowed inside parking for security of motorcycle.

My room has a “odor “ that I could work out. Being a round the world motorcyclists I am not the sweetest smelling creature but it’s was noticeable and may be drains or something that needs attending. TV is not Internet version so only local TV - not an issue to me as I had Internet and YouTube from WiFi on tablet Overall everything good

Amazing place and friendly people

Loved everything

We were very disappointed that it has no fridge or table or chair,space was very small.

The shower was in a bath.which was quite high,toilet was faulty

The included breakfast has been good. Eggs got fresh prepared and tasted very well. The staff has been always friendly and supportive. Parking lots have been available in very close distance.

The atmosphere at the hotel, however, left something to be desired. The rooms were dark, the furniture was ancient, and there were gaps in the wooden floor in several places. The bathroom could certainly have used a renovation as well. Everything worked, and the bed was okay, but unfortunately we didn’t really feel at home in the room. The price level for hotel stays in the Western Cape has generally risen significantly in recent years, but here I find it hard to see an acceptable value for money.

Friendly-ness of staff... Location...

Tv struggle to work... What about a proper sport channel or a Afr channel for our Afr guests....????

The beds in rooms 1&2 were extremely comfortable and the rooms were clean. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable.

Room 2 was musty. I am used to hotels in small towns and this old lady needs a loving touch by a caring hand. It is time. Front office is messy. Staff unfriendly. Cigarette smoke coming in from the stoep was an affront to the senses. Noises in the street and on the property late at night, so sleep is a no go. One guest biker decided to rudely awake a friend with Thunder by ACDC at top volume with a portable speaker at his door at 7 am. By that time my sense of humour was gone. We were all reminded that the hotel is now the kind of place for a less discerning client. So as Barney Simon said, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. I won't be going to this particular kitchen again then... Trash on the beach? I know this is not the hotel's problem.

Great hotel, friendly staff, good food

Rooms could do with a revamp

I loved the location. Beautiful community, friendly service. Safe area. Close to beach, walking distance. Variety of restaurants is amazing. Basic breakfast but loved it.

Hotel very basic. Floor of room bit dusty. Toilet and shower together not working. Bath still have plastic curtain.

Central town location near the parking for the beach. Room was clean and beverage-making facilities.

Pretty run down

on site restaurant, and breakfast

Paternoster Hotel has a very relaxing atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was awesome. The hotel is central. The beach is within walking distance.

There were no bar fridges in the rooms.

Environment Excellent

Smoking zones

Nothing

Rooms small, no air-con run down and not clean. So bad that we only stayed one hour and moved to another hotel.

Right in the center

Rooms not well insulated for noise. Not a nice breakfast

Breakfast was delicious and the staff were great, with a lovely sense of care in the way it was served. The location was excellent, with the beach a mere 5 minute walk.

Nothing not to like, makes for a great overnight in the majestic Paternoster.

The property is well located, just a short walk to the beach. We liked the Panty Bar attached to the property. Good fun! The hotel is small enough to get to speak with other guests at meals. The food is very nice and the portions are huge.

Nothing

Great position for getting around. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Upgraded us to a sea view room which was nice. Most unusual bar, the panty bar!!

Pillows were not very comfortable, but that's a minor thing!

Perfect location, incredible staff.

The breakfast was great, the staff were fantastic and the location very central. Thankfuly they supplied fans, or the heat would have been extreme

The rooms are incredibly dated, showers are in the bath and no fridge available in the rooms, which was a bit disappointing. Definitely needs some maintenance

Staff super friendly, everything perfect

Cant think of anything

Carisma is an amazing human being ,and your lady at reception,all very friendly. Staff all very friendly,place and location Great, breakfast was also great, however,staff need to be aware of when serving your clients,staff are still eating and have food in their mouths while serving us. The lady with the patch on her eye,not professional.you cannot be coming out of the kitchen with breakfast in your mouth and serving us . The showers were great and upgraded,but the rooms need more upgrading in terms of maybe a microwave or small fridge in the rooms., other than that the stay was pleasant. Thank you again for your hospitality

Location of hotel and Paternoster is amazing. We went for Jazz festival. People are very friendly. Staff very friendly and helpful

The rooms of hotel very basic. Hotel and facilities needs an upgrade. Towels very old. Take your own towels with. Bathroom very basic with plastic curtain. I didnt like the room. Bed sheets had brown marks on. Room floor was tidy but dusty.
