Stayed here on Boxing Day and was disappointed by the standard of decor. Rooms look like something from the 70's and weren't that tidy or clean. Location is OK but nothing special. The food was average. Considering that we paid R1400 for one night's stay we certainly expected more. Won't rush back unless the place is gutted and redecorated. Terrible... More

Tired rooms, needs extreme makeover (rooms, staff and food). Surprisingly expensive. Food straight out of the 70's. Front desk help okay. Beach is nice. Not much choice in this (nearly) forgotten town. Okay for a night or two, but not as cheap as it feels. If a disco is going down at the main beach, you're in trouble. If a... More

The guide book stated that this hotel is dated. And yes it is. The rooms and the .. well the entire place needs a complete renovation. Old tv, old fridge, old beds, yes everything is old. The service was quick (we asked for more bedding and towels), and the rooms are functional, and huge and the sea views are unbeatable.... More

Visited here on holiday in November 2007. The hotel is not a high standard hotel and cannot fairly compare with the hotels that I have previously visited elsewhere. As with some parts of South Africa the property has dated and is need of refurbishment. The room that we had was on the ground floor, containing a double bed, TV, wardrobes... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Cutty Sark Hoel on many occasions. We have always found it to be most excellent. The rooms are large, well furnished and ventilated by electric fans. The food is of a very high quality and served in a restaurant that overlooks the sea. The grounds surrounding the hotel must be amongst the... More
