Excellent location next to the sea within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
The room was large and comfortable.
The breakfast was excellent.
The only thing that annoyed me was that the receptionist refused to speak Afrikaans, even though she can.
Dear 936yvetten,
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us recently.
We are fortunate to being located in such a prime position in Hermanus. I am happy to read that you enjoyed our delicious breakfast on offer.
I am disappointed to read of your annoyance regarding the communication of Afrikaans from the receptionist. English is the easier language to communicate in for majority of our reception team, but thank you for this feedback.
We do hope to welcome you back to the Marine Hotel !!
Warm regards,
Melissa Burns

The Marine was everything I hoped it would be and more! I have had this hotel on my bucket list for a few years. After a difficult start to the year, my husband and I finally had the opportunity to visit and stay for a few nights. What a treat!
The hotel is a grand old dame that has lost none of her olde worlde charm with all the mod cons you can think of. Our room was magnificent with a spectacular view over Walker Bay. We were treated to whales breaching on some mornings, which we could watch from the comfort our bed.
Breakfasts were scrumptious with a view to match and dinners at Origins were sinfully delicious! The staff were extremely friendly and obliging, no request was too much or too difficult. We had a whale of a time and will definitely return to this beautiful piece of paradise.
Thank you to the managers and staff who made our stay so amazing!
Dear Michelle S,
Thank you for your wonderful review.
We are so pleased to hear that you have ticked us off on your bucket list and enjoyed your stay at the Marine, especially that you were able to spot some whales breaching from your magnificent room.
We look forward to your return visit.
Warm regards,

My wife & I checked into the spa for the day & decided to spend the night . Firstly we were pampered at the spa leaving after several hours of being spoiled with heavenly pleasures .We checked into our room & I informed Heidi that I am a vegan & she said not to worry The room was luxurious & had all the comfort one can ask for . We went for a long walk along the cliff path & enjoyed breathtaking views of Walker bay . Time for dinner when I was seated by Sam I got handed my own menu .Yes Vegan menu this bowled me over .Accommodating a clients needs is one thing but this service on an entirely different level . I was so impressed & when the food arrived I was even more impressed delicious , original ,creative & perfectly prepared. Thank you Sam & Heidi you are both shining stars & you do your hotel proud!! The Marine's number One on my treat list

We spent two nights here and loved this hotel. It is in great location on the cliff very close to the town centre, restaurants and shops.
The building is a lovely old historic hotel - our room was very spacious and comfortable. Best storage space for clothes so far on this trip. Large bathroom with separate bath and shower. Coffee and tea making facilities and mini bar. Good wifi and comfortable bed. Blankets in the closet if you did not want the duvet or donna.
Breakfast was a la carte one morning and a buffet the next. Nice range of food and good expresso coffee.
Staff and very friendly - helped us with directions and maps for the coastal walk. Only negative - no gym in the hotel but a long walk is a good alternative.
Highly recommended.
Dear Go55,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We truly are delighted that you enjoyed your time with us as well as the Hermanus. I do hope you managed to spot a whale or two.
We do hope to welcome you back to the Marine Hotel.

The Marine is one of those grand ole dames [South African-style]. I must have stayed here 3 or 4 times over the years, and still love it. I am here on business - seems like everyone else is here on holiday. I was given a room away from all the hustle and bustle of the hotel, as requested - room 202. The room is large and comfortable - just the way I like it. Within a day, everyone I interacted with knew my name. If I requested something - my minibar emptied or an additional heater, it was done immediately and with a smile. Did I say I love coming here?
Dear LlewellynPatrick,
Thank you for wonderful review, we are delighted to read that you had a great stay with us even though in Hermanus on business.
I am glad that we met your expectations for room requirements.
We look forward in welcoming you back to the Marine Hotel.
Warm regards,
