Turbine Hotel & Spa

We booked the Honeymoon Suite, room 205. The icemaker has not been cleaned. The water inside was yellow. Needless to say: we did not try make any ice. Our room was not cleaned thorougly. The shelf on top of the kitchenette had a thick layer of dust on it. The shower was black with mould. The laminated wood panel underneath the basin had water damage. The panel was swollen from dampness and pieces of the laminate had broken off. No face cloths were available. Usually all 5 star establishments has face cloths as a standard item. The breakfast, was just ok. Nothing special as one would expect of a 5 star hotel. The passage carpet was dirty. The rugs in the rest of the hotel not clean. The furniture needs replacement. Most pueces are worn. We travel abroad twice per annum. This hotel should be rated 3 star. The rates charged at Turbine is ridiculous for what you get. This hotel needs a full upgrade. The staff is super friendly though.

Arrived here not really sure what to expect but it was excellent, plus if you are into old Pump Houses/engineering this is the place for you. Breakfast was amazing, our last morning we had to be away at 7.15 and staff did everything they could to give us a great breakfast takeaway plus lovely coffee.

Our 4 night stay was super-friendly staff, good food. The complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Our 2nd time stay here. This boutique hotel ticks the boxes for us-away from crowds-quiet but close to decent restaurants on Thesen island. Saving any uber/taxis requirements is a bonus. Our room was the top one, large and comfortable bed. The bar staff looked after us-great cocktails. Worth a visit for a quiet, relaxing stay.

A most beautifully converted power station. This sounds uncomfortable but the opposite was true. Lush settees and armchairs, beautiful upholstery and artwork. Fantastic food!!!!

Had an unscheduled stay in this very pleasant town. Locals recommended I try the Turbine and I'm glad I did. I had an excellent stay. Particularly enjoyed the food. The chef's menu is a creative break from the traditional South African fare.

The Turbine hotel was located near the boat tours, restaurants and shopping and had a nice deck outside for eating and drinking at the Gastro Pub. Breakfast was delicious with many options and the service in the restaurant was excellent. My only complaints are that there were no elevators, and our room was on the second floor and the room was on the smaller side. My husband has a lung condition as well as rheumatoid arthritis, and the stairs were difficult for him. The lack of a comfortable seating area in the room was also difficult for him. If you are young and healthy you should have no concerns.
