It's difficult to say anything negative about this beautiful 'explain the beauty' place....the decadence the history the ambience, everything is breathtaking.🤩😘🤩 The infinity pool, the back drop of the ocean. Beautiful gradents and so nant flowers and trees. 🥰😍Lovely large, soft pool towels. Sea views from every room, large spacious, balcony, comfortable, clean, soft bedding.🥰😍🥰 Large bathrooms, good quality bathroom units, large old-fashioned baths🥰😍... watered down tiloiletries😭!!!! The food medioca!!!tastey and lots of it😢no proper tea and coffee sets!!!can't toast bread....awful sliced bread!!!🥪 If only!!!! The place was maintained to a good standard, the staff trained in health, safety, and customer service. This place has so much potential...IF ONLY we will definitely visit and bring friends and family because the positives are more, much more than negatives

The lack of attention to detail, maintenance, customer care, not having trained staff, and waiting staff

Dis nou 'n hotel met 'n ryk geskiedenis en laat dink my ook aan 'n toneel uit Jurassic Park. Dis die tipe plek waar flieks gemaak word. Dis 'n ou gebou en omdat dit so mooi is, maak dit die plek ekstra spesiaal. Die swembad is so lekker en die uitsig op die see ongelooflik mooi uit die kamer. Die tuine met die apies wat in die bome baljaar gee die plek nog meer karakter. Dis uniek en bekostigbaar. Die badkamer het warm water die lug verkoeler werk heerlik. Ons het ons tydjie in Galle baie geniet in die hotel en sal graag wil teruggaan.

Die badkamer het muf in, maar ek het dit maar mis gekyk, die hotel is in geheel net te spesiaal. Ek hoop die eienaars beplan om verbeteringe aan te bring voor hierdie juweel van 'n plek meer verwaarloos.

The staff were super lovely and accommodating. The hotel itself was a really wonderful historical experience, with the outdoor pool overlooking the beach was amazing. It’s quite an old building and could do with some TLC and maintenance. Otherwise we loved our stay, it’s in a wonderful location too!!

An old boutique hotel with its own charm and with an infinity pool looking at the sea adds beauty to it. Rooms and bathrooms were clean, but can expect only kind of boutique hotel types. Staffs were very friendly and helpful throughout. Food were very tasty and overall good even though options were limited. Infinity pool overlooking the sea is plus point to this hotel.

Roads leading to the hotel are darker at night with no Street lights.

The breakfast was uptown the standard that we expected and the person who served us did his job with high level of professionalism. We thouroughly enjoyed the sea view and the hotel building itself. The history of the hotel is so fascinating.

We were sad to see the lack of maintenance of the surroundings of the hotel and the pool side.

The view from the rooms is beautiful. The food (we had breakfast and dinner every day) was excellent and had, if anything, improved from the last time we stayed at the hotel (2019 I think).

It was a pity that the hotel has lost its licence to sell/serve alcohol but this hardly retracted from the enjoyment of our stay.

We loved the old charm of Closenburg. We were invited to join in celebrations for New Year and made to feel very welcome. Beautiful views over the bay.
