Such a treat - plunger coffee in the room, rusks, sherry, beds turned down and cholocates on the pillow - old style treats and hospitality. Excellent breakfast!

Their parking lot isn't the best, BUT there are the most majestic views, super helpful and accommodating staff, delicious restaurant, & fantastic spa (the full body scrub was AH-MAZING). We had a great time. It was a nice break from a lot of traveling. Our stay was short, but the relaxation was lasting!

My go to hotel
This is our go to hotel when we want a quick breakaway and arniston hotel never disappoints. For years now the hotel staff and service are consistent. The breakfast buffet everything you can wish for, the turndown service and the friendly smiles.
I will return again and again.

Seaside Hotel with great views!
Our bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. One more chair would have made even nicer to be able for both to look out to the sea! The bistro needs a little revamping as it lacks atmosphere .
Oilcloth table cloths are a nono

Improvement, please.
The food is very bad. Only frozen fish, no fresh oysters, the sea and Harbour 50 meters away.
Old supermarket bread and harsh butter in plastic for dinner.
It used to be good, now it was the only bad experience we had on our three weeks round trip.
