The view.

I recently stayed at Kanonkop Hotel, expecting a five-star experience as advertised, but was thoroughly disappointed. The hotel is extremely outdated; everything looks old and worn, far from the luxurious ambiance one would expect. The hot water supply was insufficient, making it difficult to shower. The breakfast was almost non-existent, lacking variety and quality. The room did not have heating, which made our stay quite uncomfortable, especially during colder nights. Additionally, the service was extremely poor and unprofessional, not at all reflective of a five-star establishment. This place is at best a two-star hotel, and the advertising on various platforms is completely misleading. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and high-quality stay. Avoid at all costs!
