Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with my room after upgrading to one inside the hotel – it was comfortable and peaceful. However, receiving small hand towels from security after 11pm was a bit odd.
The hotel is ideally situated near various attractions, though the room size may not justify the price. The service was friendly and accommodating, while the dining options may not be suitable for all preferences.
After upgrading my booking to a room inside the hotel, the stay had its positive and negative points. The security delivering small hand towels after 11pm was a nice touch, but the room did not match the pictures on Booking. The service, however, was excellent with staff going out of their way to handle requests. The location was convenient, close to attractions like St George's Park, despite some privacy concerns. The dining experience was satisfactory, but there were limited options available. Overall, a mixed experience with notable highlights and drawbacks.
After upgrading my booking to a room inside the hotel, I was very happy with my room. The rooms are very small for the price compared to other boutique hotels. The service was super helpful, but I had difficulty locating my room and was taken from one room to another without being provided one. The location is perfect near all the places I wanted to go to, especially maintenance-centric, rather rundown, very close to St George's Park for the cricket, and convenient for the airport by 6.45am. The dining was terrible and definitely not worth the 4 stars they have. The facilities are limited and yet comparably expensive, even running out of eggs for breakfast.
The hotel provided clean and comfortable rooms, but the night was too hot, and the location required having a car for convenience. The service was very welcoming, although there was no final delivery. The dining options were limited, and the facilities seemed rundown.
The hotel is centrally located, near charming historical areas of Port Elizabeth and close to some awesome local restaurants. The rooms need urgent upgrades to match the booking pictures but are decent, with no hot water in the shower. The service is helpful and friendly but not well-received at the payment stage. The location is ok with privacy and less noise pollution but has room for improvement. The dining offers a decent start to the day, though not always on time.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was not great, but the central position was convenient for exploring the attractions. The rooms were a bit below expectations, lacking hot water and needing some urgent upgrades. The service was a hit and miss situation, with quick payment processing but a lack of friendly greetings. The dining experience, although ample, could have offered a better variety of options. On the positive side, the hotel had less noise pollution and was close to some fantastic local restaurants.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, close to many attractions, but the rooms need urgent upgrades and were uncomfortably hot at night. The service was a bit hit or miss with some staff being very friendly and accommodating while others rushed the payment process without a friendly greeting. The dining options were limited but decent, and the facilities were satisfactory.
After upgrading my booking to a room inside the hotel, I was very happy with my room despite the noise from a nearby vehicle. The hotel needs updating, but the staff were very friendly and nice to us.
I found the hotel's location central and appreciated the low noise pollution but was disappointed by the outdated rooms that need urgent upgrades. The service was a mix of quick payment process without a friendly greeting and helpful staff that efficiently addressed our issues. The dining options were limited, and while the facilities were decent, there were some maintenance issues in the bathroom.
