2 night stay
Good pool area to relax. Safe and easy walk to town and on the doorstep of harbour restaurants. Nice view of harbour from room. A little dated compared to other hotels we’ve stayed during our travels but good and convenient nonetheless.
ann, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A very convenient and pleasant hotel in which to stay. Well worth paying the extra for a room with a lagoon view. Breakfast was excellent.

Excellent harbour view. Super convenient for seafood and shopping. Breakfast is fantastic but it’s a bit awkward for no free parking

Room 211
Its always great! Staff excellent. Only complaint is the bed which needs to be replaced. Awoke with both our bodies sore. Thx
Ryan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was fine. Bed was perhaps a bit too firm, even though we like a firm bed! The disappointment was the wifi, which was very poor. It either would not connect, or connected and then disconnected again very quickly. Or claimed the password was incorrect. Hotel did send somebody to reset the router, but that did not help.
Russell, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Reception and info not good
Felt the staff were not well trained and very disinterested. No one told us when we arrived our rate included breakfast so missed it the first day. Also the tap water was very brown, again not explained on arrival, on asking just told OK to drink! Frankly I didnt want to shower in it ! Everyone we asked in town said not to drink the water. The manager did take the time to come and apologise which was appreciated.

A Disappointment
We have stayed at Marriott Quays on a previous occasion so booked again for our visit to Knysna. Unfortunately our room was a disappointment. There is a light at head height fastened to the wall at the side of the bed. This hit your head turning from he fridge and if moved, getting out of bed. We eventually found the switch for this along the floor! There was only one bedside table and this was a double bed so couldn’t be used by both. Have you tried to be comfortable with your glasses, book,glass of water and your early morning pill at the other side of the room? I requested a bedside table to be told all the rooms only had one so none were forth coming. We were there three nights and for the first two showers taken between 5&6 pm the water was COLD, we thought people had used all there was but reported this and there was warm water on our last night. The one excellent thing was the breakfast - a lovely selection and freshly cooked egg dishes and the waiting staff were cheerful and friendly. There is a charge for overnight parking. Not much but it gave you the feeling that they were grasping for every penny. We won’t be back in a rush. There are so many places offering accommodation in Knysna!
