Pros: Bed comfy. Breakfast was ok; like the idea of pre-selection but it would have been nice to have a form of a buffet for guests so they can refill juice/coffee etc.
Cons: The fact that the room was a bit cramped; where the bed is; very small area and a large person would have difficulty trying to get into and out of bed comfortably. The basin needs to be "raised"; every time you opened the tap the water splashed onto the floor; the basin looks like it is tilted at an angle. And would recommend changing shower head; to perhaps a rose shape; water splashes out all over the show as well. Finally; the guests in the room above us were extremely noisy; I know beyond your control but it would be nice to just remind guests on 'top floor' that there are guests in room below. It was a pity that there were no ice-trays in the fridge.

Pros: Stayed over on two separate occasions; once on business, and another on leisure. Both occasions were great- and the service and quality equally on par. Rooms are a great size and piece and quiet justifies a return to The Lofts in the near future. Nice location to take a peaceful morning jog around Thesen island. Within walking distance to any attraction on Thesen island. Area is safe enough to walk to a decent variety of restaurants on Thesen island. A word of advice: The breakfast vouchers provided by The Lofts, can be redeemed at a number of restaurants. I personally recommend île de païn or The Island Cafe, both within 2 minutes walk from the Lofts. My opinion might be biased since I have had breakfast at The Lofts before, and preferred to try something new. Be sure to get a lagoon- view room.

Pros: The hotel location is great.
Cons: All good.
7,5 Good
Pros: It's a nice hotel in a safe and quiet area. The breakfast was okay, but not a special one (small selection of fruits for example). And it takes a long time until you get your coffee after the waiter has taken the order. Lobby and Breakfast areas are cozy and bright - invites really to relax there a little.
Cons: Our two hotel rooms seemed to be older ones. Especially in the bathroom a gentle renovation would be a good idea. The beds were very comfy. We booked also two massages, on a Sunday with 50% off. At check-out we had to insist for the reduction, the invoice was first settled for full price.

Pros: It was a fab quirky hotel. Very comfortable and food excellent and dinners very good value. Lovely sports bar for food, drinks, games etc. Unfortunately didn't have time to try spa, but friends reported it as excellent. Lovely location on the Island.

Pros: This hotel was perfect. Beautiful buildings and a stunning outlook over the lagoon. Our suite was fantastic, very spacious with a nice balcony. The bed was comfortable. Breakfasts were great with a good choice of food. The staff were excellent and tried everything to contact us when my husband left his house keys in the room on our departure. Luckily we weren't too far away to come back and get them. The gardens were lovely. It's a short way from Kynsna but taxis are easily available. We loved the hotel and hope to come back again sometime.

Pros: The staff here were absolutely amazing, we had an issue due to sickness and they went above and beyond. The house itself is a little out of Knysna, however there is ample parking (you need a car anyway in that area), the rooms are amazing - we had the Lady Anne Suite - worth the extra money, with a large bedroomm, lounge and bathroom. The photos don't it justice and it exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend! There is no evening meal service, but plenty of restuarants around the waterfront (cheap in an Uber or you can drive and plenty of parking), the breakfast that is included is lovely, a cold buffet and a hot a la carte, with great options.

Pros: Beautiful garden, spacious room and comfort. Friendly hotel staff! Breakfast was nice.
Cons: The food menu is very basic with only few snacks / toasts. The pool within the room complexes was not very clean and the surrounding could have some more decoration for comfortness and feel good character. The hotel area is nice but there is nothing to do by walking, no restaurants. The TV quality is bad, the picture is not very good. The chairs in the garden are often full of bird-poo so you cant sit at the waterfront.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: The view of the lagoon and the visible Knysna Heads.
Cons: The picnic basket was over priced (R525), considering that the boat cruise was said to be complimentary. It's more like we were paying for the boat cruise and getting the basket as part of the cruise.

Cons: - breakfast is too poor for the price paid (150R per person) and for sud Africa's standard - room was noisy, because the structure is wood made and the breakfast room was right above us, so we constantly heard people walk from 7 am. - the room was a little bit cold despite the stove, probably too little for the size of the room

Cons: The fact that the parking is very tight, you almost have to do a three point turn to get into the bay which are rather small themselves making it extremely difficult getting in and out of ones car especially for the larger SUV type vehicle. This parking is also not free ? something you rarely find in South Africa. The barman at the inside bar though he was doing us a favour by serving us as we were disturbing his SABC 2 Soapy that he was watching. Cleaning staff also started vacuuming the lobby as soon as we sat down for breakfast.

Cons: Breakfast is supposed to be ready by 06:30am. When you arrive at breakfast about nothing is packed out on the table.

It was a bit irritating. Or rather move breakfast to 07:00am.

Pros: We stayed for one night whilst passing through along the garden route. The rooms were booked at the last minute and yet the staff couldn't have been more helpful, they offered us a choice of rooms and were on call for any additional items needed or questions we had. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were spacious and spotless. The breakfast was amazing, with a large variety of juices, cereals, fruit and a cooked breakfast!!! The hotel was a short walk to the waterfront where we went for dinner. We loved everything about our stay at the Russel Hotel, thank you!
