231 guests' feedbackSlept very well, was too short.
It was a feast from the moment I checked in!
We really enjoyed our time there this summer. We just wanted to enjoy our wedding anniversary in peace, and we did. Thank you very much.
The stay was great, peaceful and very relaxing. Shops are close by, as is the lagoon. The food is very delicious and really professionally prepared, in a real master chef style. The atmosphere downstairs is very peaceful, with appropriate music upstairs and downstairs.
The room was very neat and so was the bathroom. Fridge and kettle for coffee and tea were also welcome.
We had a nice stay.
It was awesome. We enjoyed the place. It reminds me of the good old days when there was no high rate of crime.
Hoedjiesbaai Hotel is in need of a serious upgrade. If that happens, it would be the most awesome place to stay over. The staff do so much with what they have: extremely tasteful breakfast, clean rooms, and smiling faces.
It was amazing and will go again.
The service was excellent. The people were very friendly and helpful. The room was neat and clean. Nice quiet and peaceful. The bathroom just wasn't that good.
Rooms Good Carpets dirty in halls and steps. Door handle missing screw and loose neve fixed as stated.
Great relax. Don't expect luxury, but the view and sounds of the marine life make up for it.
Did book a room with a balcony, but the room did not have a balcony.
The hotel is a bit run down. The carpets are very cheap and in the passages, they do not even go all the way to the walls. There is plenty of exposed concrete on the walkways. Both mornings when we had breakfast, the carpets were dirty. We had to ask staff to come take our order and for clean glasses for the juice. Both nights, the locals were in the restaurant making a lot of noise. At least it all stopped at 10pm both nights. The staff were very friendly, and we were greeted everywhere we went. Our room had a little balcony, and the view was great from there. The hotel does not look the same as in the pictures.
The staff were friendly and helpful, but I would not stay here again. We got practically no sleep because noise outside, bad and considered packing our bags and going home at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Customer service was extremely bad. The room was dirty.
The hotel has an old fashioned feel. Clean and tidy. Excellent view of the bay. Friendly staff and the food is also very tasty. The free breakfast is a winner.
Very good service and good food.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant on the 3rd floor with a fantastic view of the bay and very good food must definitely be visited.
My stay is always nice, great food, and location is fantastic. I recommend Hoedjiesbaai.
The hotel is a bit old but everything is very clean and tidy. Very nice restuarant meals available and lots to do in the area. Was a very friendly reception and waitress at the restuarant. It was a good experience.
Just an awsome place to book in and spend some quality time with your spouse.
Wi-Fi and ceiling fan didn't work.
It was okay. Bath was dirty. It is near a beach where they make a lot of noise. Furthermore, it is okay to stay over for one night. We were very happy about the elevator.
The hotel has a lot of potential. WiFi almost never came through. You can smell the other customers' smoke when you stand on the balcony. Unpleasant smell in the corridors smells like pee, sorry, but that's all I can put it.
My booking was for 3 nights, I only stayed for 1 because the room was too compacted and for this I blame website. We were 5 people in a small room. My room definitely did not look like the below pics.
One shoud manage expectations - value for money if you are looking for a budget stay in Saldanha. Reception very friendly and helpful. Don't bother to eat at restaurant/breakfast - rudimentary.
Good and friendly staff.
Very friendly people who work there. Excellent food at the restuarant. Good service also at the restaurant. Als was just nice, as we were looking forward to. Many thanks to everyone.
Good value for money with a beautiful view.
See stars.
I would go again anytime and recommend to anyone.
Absolutely loved the tranquillity, hearing the waves crash underneath you while you sleep. Very quiet, peaceful.
Geen woorde kan die wonderlike ervaring beskryf nie. Personeel en almal het die ekstra myl vir ons geloop. Baie dankie vir die wonderlike tyd wat ons daar was.
Clean and tidy rooms with everything you need.
Too beautiful to be able to look over the bay like this from your balcony with the water right below your room. Ducks and seabirds right under balcony. Waiting for a snack.
Very nice, hotel and restaurant staff very friendly.
Als was perfect. You can't find a better location. We had a wonderful stay.
WiFi could not reach my room. Shower head is old and sprays in all directions except down.
Travelled for sport for my daughter and it was a wonderful little hotel with a beautiful view.
Old hotel. Service was great, very helpful staff. Not a place for teenagers though as there is not much to do. Clean, quiet & relaxing.
Good location and very tidy and staff very helpful and friendly. Only parking is limited.
Enjoyed it! Will go again.
Nice food! Well located. Nice hotel.
Not quite the standard we prefer. Area not the best either. Service was good. We did not use any of their facilities further.
I loved the stay, beds are fine, rooms too, just need to attend to water problem in mornings.
We received very prompt, friendly service upon arrival. The room was on the second floor and we could take our bags up with a lift. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The hotel has a restaurant on the third floor and a bar on the first floor with very nice sea views. Our room had a small balcony with a sea view. Excellent value for money and incredibly friendly staff. I will definitely go back again.
Thank you for a great night and good food! Your kindness is just a pleasure to remember!
I enjoyed my stay. Thank you.
Carpets were smelling a bit and we booked for 3 rooms and only 1 room had a fridge. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Baie mooi, netjiese plek.
It's a beautiful place with friendly service. Conveniently close to everything without losing the feeling of privacy and vacation.
Hotel is neat, recently renovated and staff are very helpful. Breakfast and dinner are extra and worth it. Fresh towels every day ensured that you could always dry off.
We will most certainly be coming back very soon.
I would recommend anyone to stay there. There food is amazing, prices are definitely reasonable. This place is great value for money, no doubt. Can't wait to go there again soon.
Don't let the 2 stars put you off. Very neat hotel with good restaurant.
Was very nice and everyone was very friendly. Their food is fantastic.
There must be a person in the bar at all times. They must put a coffee table and 2 chairs on the balconies.
Nice and calm sea, friendly and considerate staff.
Previously stayed there for a weekend. This time, unfortunately, only the Saturday night could stay. Quiet old fashioned hotel relaxation. Thank you very much.
We took a trip back in time and experienced the nostalgia of our previous visits. The staff is fantastic.
I enjoyed the stay at Hoedjiesbaai Hotel. Staff were helpful during checkin - checkout didn't go as smoothly as no one was available to help at that time. Not to diminish their service, we have to also consider the President raised the level of lockdown the previous night and staff were busy with those lockdown regulations. Overall a great stay, clean, neat and very safe. I would stay there again.
Check-in was smooth, staff were very friendly, room was neat and clean and all fixtures, furniture, etc were in good working order. The view over the sea was great. Selection of DSTV channels were acceptable for a short stay.
It was pleasant to spend the night there. There is no closed parking available, so you have to leave your car in the parking area in front of the hotel on the street. There is a guard in the evenings to keep an eye. We had to secure our trailer to a hand rail with a lock because there is no other place for safe storage of your trailer (thankfully I packed a lock for such situations). In the evening you hear a lot of cars speeding by and people talking loudly outside in the streets. The hotel is beautiful and the restaurant has a beautiful view of the bay.
We enjoyed the view and delicious food. Friendly service. Thank you.
Get a room on the sea with a patio, it does cost a little extra. Restaurant was then on Sunday evening. Well breakfast next morning in beautiful restaurant upstairs, beautiful sea views. Room was quite cold.
Peaceful atmosphere with the perfect location to relax.
Quiet getaway atmosphere.
A major concern was parking - it wasn't enclosed/gated - I wasn't at ease through the night with that situation.
View was great. There were some bugs in the room. TV's remote control didn't work, blanket was dirty, porch missing 2 glass panels. Hotel is old and needs some attention.
The bed was neat. The balcony was very neglected and there was a coffee tin where you had to put your stubs. The tin was rusted. Our water container in the room didn't even have water in it. I think they should look into it a bit.
The hotel is an old but neat hotel, we were worried about the safety of our car. We paid the car guard extra money for our car's safety. The location of the hotel is now in a bad part of town. Although perfectly located by the bay. We could experience the sunrise and also have a nice view of the moon in the evening over the bay. And if you want to hear the sea, the hotel is perfect.
The accommodation was for my parents. They were very impressed with the stay and couldn't stop talking about their good experience.
One goes on vacation to rest and break away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel is located in such a way that you won't be able to shut down and relax. It also feels/looks like it is located in an industrial area. I would not recommend it at all. When we arrived you could see people standing in the rooms smoking. This is not a desired getaway vacation.
Accommodation all in one. No need to drive almost anywhere. Weekend feels like a week.
I would go any time. I was pleasantly surprised with location and the view from my room over the bay. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I enjoyed a delicious dinner and it was good value for money. I would recommend people to stay at Hoedjiesbaai Hotel anytime.
The sea view was breathtaking, was really value for money. Food was excellent at the restaurant and our rooms were immaculately clean.
Definitely the most beautiful view. Room was clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit Hoedjiesbaai again.
It was reasonable with their prices
Our stay at the hotel was wonderful, clean, breathtaking view, tidy, friendly and even a nice card and bottle of sparkling wine were waiting for us in our room, as a surprise for our wedding anniversary. We would definitely recommend the hotel. Thank you very much Hoedjiesbaai Hotel, it was a very special weekend.
The view over the water was beautiful and also all the birds that swim there or walk on the sand. The meals were very delicious.
It was an experience.
At first there was a problem with my booking. However the receptionist sorted it out and it was great staying there. Will book again.
The hotel is quiet and offers easy access to the beach. If you are lucky enough to get a sea view room with a balcony, your soul can rest all weekend. Time stood still. Staff were friendly and very helpful and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant just as much. We will definitely come back.
Friendly people, hospitable. Neat rooms and lovely to hear the sea below you.
It's just noisy and staircase going down to sea should be closed at night
The Hoedjiesbaai Hotel is more than adequate for a one or two night stay. The rooms are spacious, neat and clean.
Perfect.
The rooms were clean and tidy, and the view breathtaking. The television reception was very bad, couldn't really watch TV and the ceiling fan didn't work. Other than that it is definitely value for money, will definitely go again.
Clean, tidy and friendly.
Rooms were neat and felt like visiting a rural family hotel. The restaurant's food was delicious and affordable with a beautiful view.
Ons het ons kuier by die hotel vreeslik geniet, sal definitief weer gaan, personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.
The room was neat and clean. We had a nice view of the sea. The shower-bath with curtain is not ideal, but at least it is clean. The hair dryer needs to be replaced.
We had a great stay and the ladies at reception and kitchen staff are very friendly and helpful, but the rooms could do with a little renovation. There is no aircon in the rooms, but there is a ceiling fan which does not offer much coolness during the day. Then maybe they can think of putting a bar fridge in the rooms with a filter water kiosk on each floor. It will be very nice.
Staff was friendly and willing to assist.
Clearly an old building that has been renovated. Walls show signs of moisture seeping through in a few places and many tiles in bathroom are pulling away from the walls although none have fallen off yet. Chair provided was uncomfortable to use at desk. However, food and service in restaurant was excellent.
The view was very pretty, but the room (especially the bathroom) was filthy. I wiped down the toilet seat and the paper towel came back black. The white towels had brown stains on them. The balcony had absolutely no privacy and was covered in bird faeces. The staff were kind, but not very professional.
We have been here a few times and as in the past everything was perfect and the staff are extremely competent, friendly and very helpful. Thank you very much.
I am someone who likes things to go right. I can recommend Hoedjiesbaai Hotel as one of the best vacation spots ever. Their place is neat, their staff is friendly, in other words their service is excellent. It was my 17th wedding anniversary and one of the best ever. Can't wait to go again.
See stars.
We needed a safe place for one night and we found it with Hoedjiesbaai Hotel.
See stars.
My family and I enjoyed it a lot. I'd recommend other families to Hoedjiesbaai Hotel.
Will go again, service was excellent, location excellent, atmosphere nice and staff very friendly. Had a great time there.
Excellent service!
The hotel is quite old, but tidy and safe and quiet. Staff are helpful and very friendly. Feeling at home with the kick-in. Meals are mediocre and could use an upgrade. Parking sometimes a problem. Rating overall 8 out of 10.
Room was big enough and everything we needed was in the room.
Excellent service, the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is very quiet.
My stay was fantastic. Just what I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Sien sterre,
Since we arrived, the hotel has welcomed us with open arms and made us feel welcome. Very good service and very friendly!
It's a great place and I would recommend it to my friends anytime.
Any problems, the staff solves kindly and quickly. Will stay there every time I'm in Saldanha. Was at another hotel but came back to Hoedjiesbaai Hotel.
Our visit was really special. Much more than we expected. The service of the staff was very polite and courteous. Rooms and bathroom were also neat and clean. Will visit again anytime.
It was very nice.
We spent Christmas Day here. The room had a beautiful view and the staff made us feel at home on Christmas Day.
My 2nd visit. Will go back again.
The stay was wonderful and the reception was great! The food in the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Perhaps the security (such as access to rooms open and locked with physical keys that are very open to abuse) could be upgraded to electronic access.
It is a nice getaway place for yourself and your husband or partners. We were on the first floor, we had the best room due to the balcony and the view. The food is great and the service as well. I will definitely go again. This time longer.
Safe and secure. Very friendly staff and the place is very clean. We will return anytime. We had an awesome time. Thank you all.
Will go back anytime.
Enjoyable, peaceful, slept well.
Very nice place. Nice view especially in restaurant in the evening. Love the sea water near the hotel. Parking in front of hotel could be improved so that overstaying customers get priority.
The floor was not very clean. It was evident on our crawling child's hands, legs and feet. The balcony is not at all safe for small children, especially not on the second floor. The security of the vehicles cannot be compared with other hotels. There is no security gate behind which vehicles can park.
Would recommend it for an overnight stay. People very polite and friendly!
Location is ideal. Shops within walking distance. View from balcony overlooking the sea, stunning. Food at the restaurant delicious (especially the sea food pizza). A damper was the lift not working and also the lady that checked us in needs some lessons in customer service. We did our booking through the website and settled our account through them. When we checked in we were told that we still had an outstanding balance. After advising her that we had paid she then requested proof. Our correspondence with the website was done via email so we did not have any hard copy. A simple phone call from her to them would have cleared it up. Instead we were made to feel unwelcome.
The place has so much potential but needs a lot of love. The room we stayed in didn't smell too good, probably because of moisture, steam and mold in the walls. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant that is in the hotel is something else, very tragic. The carpets are dirty, tables are dirty, cappuccinos are certainly not cappuccinos. The food is rather unpalatable. All in all it was probably great, we just saw it as an adventure, but will not simply stay there again.
Elevator out of order, carpets on stairs filthy, food excellent, waitresses very friendly, rooms comfortable, but cleanliness could drastically improve. Fantastic location.
Place is very nice and central if you want to enjoy the beach.
Lovely overnighter at short notice. Disappointed dinner not available that evening. Hotels should always provide an open kitchen if they accept guests, that was most disappointing.
You advertise Hoedjiesbaai Hotel under Langebaan - this is indeed Saldanha and very far from Langebaan.
The venue for the hotel is suburb, right at the beach. Friendly staff, however they should just make sure the room has enough utilities. Also if they can later change the carpet to tiles or laminated flooring it would be much more hygienic and make the rooms look bigger and even cleaner.
Carpets dirty, lift out of orders, patio has no chairs or table, ceiling fans not effective, parking is a problem.
The hotel is old and neglected and dirty in halls and stairs. Elevator not working. Rust everywhere and dirty windows. At the same price we coul've stayed in a luxury room in Paternoster. I feel scammed.
Hoedjiesbaai Hotel is a very old building that requires a lot of modernisation. Hotel staff is friendly. The sea view was spoilt by the local beach going kids running naked and swearing. There was a lot of loud noise and banging whilst cleaning. You can also hear your neighbours showering and using the loo.
For what you pay you get a very neat room with an amazing sea view! Restaurants are just around the corner. The people are very friendly and I will definitely go again.
Reception was smooth and service excellent. Accommodation was worth the money and more.
It was very peaceful, comfortable and I will go back again.
Enjoyed the stay and quietness and to wake up to fresh air and sea breeze and the staff is very helpful and always have smiles.
The hotel has a perfect location with beautiful views over the bay. The reception staff were very friendly and professional. My room was clean and tidy with a comfortable bed. The restaurant on the 3rd floor offers very good value for money and I enjoyed very nice "butter tender" calamari steaks. Will stay here again anytime I'm in Saldanha.
I had a lovely stay. It was quiet and all the necessary shops were nearby. My room was serviced everyday and the people there are very friendly. I was busy with a course and came back to a clean room every evening to sleep.
It was awesome - would recommend.
It was really very nice and we had no problems with our arrival. The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. I would have preferred to stay longer.
One of the things that stood out for me was the friendliness of the staff and the parking of cars in front of the hotel was outstanding a really safe environment. Thank you.
Staff very friendly. We had to move rooms the next day and they made sure that we can go in early. Will definitely stay there again. Hotel is very clean with beautiful sea views.
Friendly and helpful service. Good value for money. The room, bathroom and dining hall was very clean and neat and the food was amazing! the only thing that bothered a little was the fact that we slept on the second floor and the kitchen and dining hall is on the third floor. Bit of a noise when we wanted to sleep. But after about 22:00 it was quiet. Thank you for the good service!
Friday night after check in it was very quiet until around 22h30 when there was a sudden commotion which basically lasted until around 03h00. Saturday was very quiet until check-out time on Sunday morning.
Good basic hotel. Service well. Wonderful view. Rooms small, but hard work has been done to make them colorful and retro. The view makes the basic room absolutely worth it. The restaurant is unfortunately very expensive and not market-related.
Will definitely use this place again.
Our period from 16-18 November 2018 definitely went by too quickly. Hotel is excellently located and I would recommend it to anyone anytime. The coastal town of Saldanha is a place of a thousand and my family's next holiday will definitely be there.
Would stay there again anytime. Slept well and food was excellent.
The stay at Hoedjiesbaai Hotel was okay. Breathtaking sea view from balcony suites. The lift did not work so it was a bit inconvenient. Location is great shops and liquor store just across the street. The live band playing at the restaurant from another venue down the street was awesome.
Our stay at Hoedjiesbaai Hotel was good. There was a small error with our reservation, but they were quick to correct it and were willing to provide additional WiFi free of charge to compensate for the inconvenience. We had a bit of trouble connecting to the WiFi in our room, which was inconvenient, but then managed to get full signal WiFI in the common lounge with a view of Saldanha's lagoon which was a good alternative. The room is very nice and well equipped and we could enjoy a beautiful sunrise from our bed the next morning.
It's very quiet in Saldanha. You could almost get lost there. It's not a place to get wild in. Preferably a well timed holiday on top of a holiday. I would go there to lose myself and find myself. Based on those findings, I would say it's the perfect hideaway.
The client service is great and the price is very good. The rooms are very neat, but the shower could use some attention. I can recommend this hotel without hesitance.
Pleasant stay. The restaurant service is power, but the food was tasty. Maintenance can get some attention, e.g. the shower does not have a door. We were 3 people, but did not have coffee, tea etc. not found for 3, only for 2. Parking is insufficient.
Stay at Hoedjiesbaai was very pleasant. Only one problem: the elevator was out of order. It was a big problem, because it was very difficult for my husband to go up stairs because he is on oxygen 24 hours a day and his lung capacity only works at 24%. It made him terribly tired. I just want to mention that Mel, the general worker, was very helpful by taking my husband's oxygen tank as well as our luggage up to the rooms and again on the last day of our stay as help. It's the third time we've stayed at Hoedjiesbaai and that the lift has caused problems. Reception never once asked if we were ok or offered help. These problems will not keep me away from Hoedjiesbaai Hotel. Thanks again to Mel. She is a star.
I really enjoyed my stay, as a woman it was not possible to go for a walk along the beach on my own. The food was also delicious and the portions enormous.
The room was neat and clean. There are no heaters in the room nor were we informed that we could request one. The food was excellent and tasty.
We loved the view and our room was very need and tidy. Would've liked more television channels (DStv) open for us.
Only for overnight, rooms are nice, but building and carpets and hotel in general are old.
Yes and no. Yes, because the price is right for people who want to get away. No, the place needs a lot of upgrading. It's more like a backpacker I would say. The photos make it look ideal, but then it didn't, the carpets and curtains put me off, because it didn't feel neat to me, so maybe I would prefer teals or other carpets, but certain people will accept it. Maybe I'm just full of nonsense. For me, I feel the place is ideally located because there is almost nothing to do in Saldannah. The place just needs to be modernized a bit.
Was very peaceful and food was excellent.
The hotel was confused when we got there and didn't quite know what was going on. Staff were relatively friendly, but we felt like strangers, not valued guests. Would not recommend the hotel.
Hotel is in the town, old, but neat. Elevator was not working so had to carry luggage up 2 floors. Food was delicious but service slow. Although there was a guard outside the hotel door, I did not feel safe. Opposite is a bottle store with characters hanging around nearby. Would not recommend as a family holiday but would for businessmen just looking for a place to sleep.
Yes for the amount we paid but no for the accommodation. If you like a hostel this is for you. First we get a bathroom whose tiles can fall on you at any moment and then we get a room with dirty, damp carpet that doesn't smell good. What we really appreciated was the cleaning service and their reliability. Wasn't crazy about the idea of the car being parked outside, but at least there is security all night. Furthermore, the girls at reception were very friendly.
Ceiling fan was 2 cm full of dust. After cleaning it, it doesn't even work. The garage smells old and carpets are already coming loose. The shower tiles are also coming loose.
We were childishly excited to spend the night at Hoedjiesbaai Hotel, as it looks like such an exceptionally beautiful hotel. We specially extended our holiday route to Saldanha to spend the night at the exceptional hotel. On booking we had to book an additional room as we were 4 guests (3 adults and 1 child of 3 years old). They didn't want to give us a single room with a double bed and a single bed as we requested (because there is an extra child), although it was explained that our boy would sleep on the bed with us anyway. Regardless, we agreed without fuss and booked an additional room. On arrival the staff were not polite at all, peering at us through a crack in the door and only after I had to repeat myself to book in did the receptionist approach us to help. The corridors and rooms smelled terrible. And smoking was allowed in the rooms. We were placed in the back rooms, furthest away from the sea view (there were minimal rooms booked during our overnight stay - again we were satisfied and accepted it). To our bitter regret, we decided that evening to enjoy dinner at the hotel's restaurant with the most beautiful view. What a disappointment! They do not cater or provide for children at all. The only food they have available for children is a hamburger and chips (how is a 3 to even 7 year old going to eat that?). We then asked if the waiter/chef could help us with something additional such as e.g. an egg, bun or even breakfast cereal so that we can at least give our boy something to eat. Of course at the necessary costs! But we were only told "sorry, it's only for breakfast". It cost my husband to drive and buy other food for our child. The response to our complaint/unhappiness was straightforward that it should be taken up with management, and that they can't do anything about it, that's just the way it is. It was expected that we had to get an extra room because of our child, but at the same time they don't provide the basic needs for a child? What then finally contributes to our unpleasant stay is the fact that our room had no hot water. We then just took a shower in the 2nd room, which fortunately had hot water. We have always only heard good things about Hoedjiesbaai hotel, but they will probably never see us again. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone either. Was really sad and very disappointed!
Room clean and tidy, except for broken lace curtain. "Lounge" section needs more decor. Noise both at night and in the morning very disturbing. Restaurant above a specific room. Outside area needs renovation. Where possible create more recreational facilities. Persons smoking in the bar area will not be addressed. Good enough for overnight comfort.
Ridiculous place, don't let the photos on the website fool you. Arrived at the place after 15 hours of driving. Upon arrival, the parking and entrance hall dropped us off. The receptionist handed us a key. Went up to our room, the smell in the room was not nice at all, smelled like rotten sea water. We decided not to make a scene and that we would record it at the reception the next morning. The next morning when we wanted to take a bath, the bath plug didn't fit and we had to use a bag that we luckily had with the plug so that water wouldn't run out. The paint on the ceiling in the bathroom is also peeling and looks dirty. We went to reception and said we were unhappy with the room and the woman said "unfortunately management is not available" we then checked out and asked for a refund for the remaining day we booked there. We also booked a "seaview" room but you have to go through a sliding door that is difficult to open to partially see the sea. I think the hotel is past its "expiry date" and needs more than just a new management to save it. Sorry Hoedjiesbaai Hotel.
The worst I have ever booked. Never again.
The premises were not clean. The entrance to the premises was dirty. The cigarette boxes were lying around. The carpets in the hallways were full of stains and the walls were peeling. The electrical wires were open. The corridors smelled of smoke and the premises were not located in a good area. Although they had a security guard late at night, the vehicle was not safe. After the above, I do have to mention that the lady in the restaurant was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good. The receptionist was not helpful and just stopped with key in hand and said to go up the stairs. I don't think the premises meet hotel standards.
Just want to thank LekkeSlaap who recommended and booked Hoedjiesbaai Hotel for me. It was very pleasant I enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Also thanks to Hoedjiesbaai Hotel itself for their hospitality and kindness. LekkeSlaap you are number one! Will book through you again anytime and thank you again for helping me look for accommodation just to put my head down because it was a last minute decision. Thank you very, very much!
Genuine rural friendliness and atmosphere. Staff very helpful. Bigger TV screen and better channel programming will definitely contribute even better to success. Will definitely stay there again and recommend to all tourists with an open heart.
Lazy weekend with excellent food and service.
Breathtaking view. Charming room, chick decor. Friendly reception. What more can you ask for?
Really enjoyed the hotel, was pleasant to stay there. Will definitely stay there again next time.
Room was nice and tidy and creates a peaceful atmosphere.
Dit is baie lekker stil plek.
First impressions from the outside were not positive, but the rooms are very neat and clean. We were scared to leave the car outside, but the guard assured us the cars were safe. The rooms with sea view are the best!
My son and I had a lovely stay. We will definitely go again.
See the stars.
We had a room with a balcony and the view is beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The biggest problem we had was the parking, at times there is no room at all for all the vehicles and you have to stop on the pavement or elsewhere. There is no safety for vehicles.
Very neat, will go again.
We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel.
Quiet and very comfortable room. Excellent view from the sidewalk in the morning. Nothing I can complain about! Friendly and helpful employees.
We had a friendly reception and were helped immediately. Thorough explanation how everything worked. Was very pleasant.
Would definitely recommend for travelers who want value for money.
Will just recommend that they add a room or bench in the bathroom for your clothes / toilet bag. Parking is limited to just in front of the building next to the main road and can be a risk.
The beautiful view from the balcony is "priceless". The rooms are clean and tidy and the staff friendly and helpful. We have spent several weekends here and have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend Hoedjiesbaai Hotel!
Comfortable rooms close to the ocean. Unfortunately there were no family rooms for 4 people. Noise during the night. The fairly expensive buffet breakfast serves only instant coffee! The bar downstairs does have brewed coffee but not willing to serve it with breakfast.
Was very nice, my wife and I enjoyed it a lot, the parking only lacks security and WiFi's reception was not too good.
Very nice hotel, will stay there every time we go on holiday. Affordable.
Accommodation met our expectations.
The view was beautiful, the location was fantastic. Unfortunately, I can't give more compliments than that. Our bathroom was constantly under water due to the shower leaking water, our towels were full of stains and the lady at reception couldn't even give us teaspoons for our coffee when we asked because there were no spoons. We were scared to leave our car outside, even though we were assured there was a guard, but I got the feeling anyone could just walk into the hotel. Guest access cards may solve this problem. Thanks, but we might stay somewhere else next time.
The hotel is neat and clean but the location is very bad, it is not in the residential area and in noisy area.
Enjoyed the stay. Room is clean and neat. Just think that the breakfast was not worth the price. Very basic for R90 per person. Reception staff can be friendlier.
The prices are quite low and one cannot expect too much. The staff is very friendly, but the hotel definitely needs upgrading. The room 2028 we were in reeks of sewage and that is definitely not acceptable, even at the price. The sliding door to the balcony can only be opened with difficulty and looks out onto a flat roof on which lie 1000s of cigarette butts. The hotel definitely deserves upgrading. The hotel itself is definitely not seeing me again. The restaurant, the food and the service in the restaurant are excellent and I will definitely go to the restaurant again.
Not very clean, the passage smelled like urine. When we checked in the blankets folded inside of the bed had dirty stains on. Such a beautiful location with friendly staff. Wish they could've kept the rooms a bit cleaner. The dark bathroom really needs a make over.
I suggest they seriously fumigate their rooms as well as the bedding and linen because this is the first time in my life that I have been eaten by bed bugs.
The first room I stayed in had a terribly strong damp, mouldy drain smell coming from the bathroom. They arranged for another room the next day which was better. The breakfast was not great, but at least the view from the dining room was beautiful. The rooms I stayed in would not be good if you plan on sleeping in late - the noise from outside starts quite early. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated.
I would not recommend it at all.
Nice place, will book again. Beautiful view and area stunning. Thanks.
Very good value for money and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Good reception, security and hospitality.
Very friendly staff and delicious food.
Room was nice clean and tidy, had a nice sea view and the service was good. The breakfast was also nice.
We were satisfied with everything. Good service. Delicious food. Will come again.
It was very delightfully neat and friendly.
This was the second weekend we spent here, and the second experience was even better than the first. Ideal for just sitting on the balcony, looking out over the sea and forgetting about the "rat race" going on elsewhere. The affordable rates make it accessible to everyone. There will definitely be a third time!
See the stars.
The beach is very dirty. It looks like sewage pouring out there; you have to climb over toilet paper. It doesn't look hygienic at all. Thanks to LekkeSlaap.
The hotel does not have enough secure parking at night; the public beach next to the hotel during the festive season attracted unsavory characters who urinated in public and also abused alcohol in public. The hotel itself is very neat with spacious rooms, if a little tired, but for the price it is an absolute "bargain"! The hotel is also close to the West Coast shopping center ("Mall"), Langebaan, Vredenburg and Jacobsbaai. We used the hotel as a base to explore and visit all the places around Saldanha and it was always lovely to come home to the hotel (except of course for the parking). .
We enjoyed it very much, it was very neat. Restaurant was very nice, food was really very nice.
We spent the night in Room number 21. It made too much noise above us for me. We were awake early from the noise.
Beaches dirty, opposite shopping center with African music and on busy street where there is traffic all night.
We booked 3 family rooms but was given 3 double bed rooms with no apologies, nothing, cause they were fully booked.
Other than the view, it's not neat at all. Breakfast wasn't interesting. The shower was pathetic. The curtains even worse.
Room was dirty, smell of mould and staff unfriendly.
If you are in a hurry, better choose other accommodation. It is necessary that you meditate and get lost in the calm sea around you. With a glass of wine and delicious peasant food, the years can be shaken off and dreams of past years become a reality. The hotel's atmosphere encourages you to just breathe again.
We enjoyed our time in the hotel. It was clean and tidy! The parking was a problem: There is too little when the hotel is full. They also did not inform us in advance that their restaurant was going to close on Christmas Day. The fan in the room didn't work either.
Arrived late but was greeted kindly. Would prefer if there was something to eat late at night seeing that the kitchen was already closed when I got there.
Beautiful sea view has been ruined by dirty beaches, people under the influence and then again church on a Sunday morning. This should have been a town square rather than a beach.
The hotel's saving grace is simply the ideal location and beautiful sea view. The rooms need urgent attention. Curtains are torn and battered. The breakfast was extremely disappointing and definitely not worth the money.
The rooms' decor is quite modern, but the hotel is old and neglected inside. We had room no 9 on the first floor. Bathroom stank very badly because the toilet's rubber seal is not tight. We brought it to the management's attention. They came to try to do something and came with an apology, but it was very bad. We couldn't shower there and had to go and shower at the friends. Bedding was stained and wrinkled, coffee mugs were dirty, room was dirty and with cobwebs. It was the worst sleeping experience I have ever had.
