Cute lil hotel in Paternoster
We stayed here for a night after dining at Wolfgat. If I'm honest, I don't feel the need to visit Paternoster again but if you do, then this is a cute little hotel to stay at. There are 2 small sized pools and the rooms are pretty small too but the service and breakfast were both great.

The room was clean and a pleasure to stay in. For the price I paid I need to add that the refreshments in the room can be free of charge - please consider.

Comfort and an amazing location!
We stayed for one night with our daughter and son in law. The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms very comfortable. The only complaint was no feather pillows (our personal preference) but the half/half pillows were ok. We did not eat dinner at the hotel but enjoyed breakfast in the morning, where sadly there was no freshly squeezed fruit juice which is a shame. Overall it was a lovely stay.

Beautiful villa, exceptionally clean and glamorous. Not in the hotel, and surrounded by local villagers and community.

The eproperty has certainly the best vibe in town. Beds are comfy but facilities could be better maintained. Overall a very nice stay but there are major detractors like the crack house next door with loud neighbors and paper-thin walls between rooms, and finally ajck hammering at the pool next door midday.. Staff was very receptive to feedback.
I would stay here over Strandloper when I return. Very safe and secure and very down to earth which is what one wants in paternoster.

Stunning decor and location
Beautiful hotel, lack of visible management. Room was not made till we returned in the evening (on checking this was not their Covid protocol but oversight ). The location is sublime.

A real treat!
Villa 2 has an exceptional setting with views straight onto the beach. Beautifully appointed - loved the art-deco style. Perfectly clean. Great amenities. A few seconds' walk from the beach. It felt opulent and luxurious. Breakfasts at the main hotel were great except the service very slow with only one staff member serving everyone.

Worth a visit
An amazing villa done out really tastefully. The pool could do with a new paint job though. View is stunning. Breakfast was great and staff very friendly. Will definately stay there again
