The position is great. Walking distance from the action in the town. Clean and painted white and blue which fits the environment and the cleanliness of the hotel. I alway laugh when people write in a review how friendly the staff were, but in this case I really mean it. They were so lekker. To me, it is a place to say when visiting this town. You can spend a lot of money at other places but here, you get what you pay for. It’s new and it will become well known soon. Best of luck to the owners and the staff in the years to come.

The light in the bathroom. Goes on automatically when you turn over in bed. A small adjustment and it will be sorted

Amazing little hotel with the most amazing staff who offered the best hotel service I think I have ever received in South Africa. They were extremely attentive and friendly and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. The pool area is fabulous with all day sun and the location is perfect for a little walk into central Hermanus and its bars and restaurants.

Our room backed out onto the bin area of the hotel and generator so was a little noisy and not very scenic. But wasn't an issue as we weren't in the room much :)

Our stay at One Marine Drive Boutique Hotel was a true delight, leaving us with memories of unparalleled hospitality. The The staff is truly set it apart from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond, making our stay unforgettable. Breakfast surpassed our expectations. If you're seeking an unforgettable stay in Hermanus, this boutique hotel is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Highly recommended. We will be back again and again.

There is nothing not to like

Right on the main road the location of this hotel is wonderful. Loved the fact that our balcony overlooking the bay was covered so you can watch whales and dolphins right from your balcony dry and in comfortable chairs in any weather. We saw tons! The beautiful cliff path is right in front of the hotel. The staff is amazing, as is breakfast. Liked the idea of the honesty bar.

In the honesty bar you can only buy a big bottle of wine. I would recommend also adding small ones for just a glass.

Beautiful boutique style hotel. The staff was very welcoming and always willing to assist. The breakfast was extremely good, with great coffee and a nice setting. The pool area is small but all that you need to cool off and relax by the pool. The room was very nice: comfortable, spacious and luxurious; with a coffee, tea and fridge station outside the room servicing 3 adjacent rooms. I would suggest to have a marker pen available to mark the stuff that you put into the communal fridge.

Although our view of the ocean was fantastic, our balcony was very close to the street (2nd floor) - but it was expected. I would book 3rd floor in future, as that balcony is a bit further removed from being visible from the street. The only room cleaning service that we received in a 4 day stay was having the bed made. No vacuuming or other cleaning was done. Room service for dinner options were very limited and more limited than the website or the printed menu in reception indicated.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was delicious - a nice choice of food and the option of dairy-free milk. The room was lovely with beautiful sea views. The first place that’s offered a separate make-up face towel! A really great ideal as I’m always getting black mascara on the white towels. The hotel was right on the cliff top path which was a lovely walk to the Harbour (right) and the town/restaurants/beach (left). Running felt very safe along the cliff path and roads. Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to visit again.

Nothing.

Beautiful room with a lovely balcony and good view. Very quiet and a comfortable bed. Staff was exceptional. I liked the honesty bar/ fridge on the landing outside our room. Complimentary afternoon cake in the reception area was a nice touch

Everything was very good. My mushrooms on toast at breakfast was disappointing - over salted and all onions with very few mushrooms but really I am just being fussy here and I could have said something and it would have been changed with a smile - so no, no complaints.

Quality of the bed linen, towels, glasses, beach towels. All our needs were anticipated. A 10 min walk into town along the coastal road was perfect. Our room had a lovely ocean view. Gin and tonics at 5pm was fabulous. The staff were exceptional, helpful and warm and funny! I had a brilliant facial.

Pool was too small, more of a plunge pool

We loved the beautiful service we received upon our arrival at the establishment till our departure. The room was clean and had a fresh scent. The breakfast was always amazing.

I think they must add remotes for the gate on the set of keys given to the guests.

The staff were very good and accommodating. My one special request for a romantic turn-down - my expectations were exceeded with special care taken with this request.

The details is in the devil. Small things like the fact that our bed and bathroom mats were note returned after day one. Coffe was nor refilled after day one.
