Anchorage Guesthouse
4.4/520 Reviews
Summerstrand
This is a hotel located by the sea, but you can't see the sea and you can't hear the sound of the waves. Stayed for one night on June 25, including breakfast. The room is quite big, with a kitchen and bathroom workbench, the bathroom is quite big, clean and tidy, and there is wifi in the house. The yard can park a car. Go to the beach and walk for one or two hundred meters. There were no shops nearby, and we went to the city to find a Chinese restaurant for dinner. The hostess was in grade, but she was loud and welcoming, like descendants or immigrants from the Mediterranean coast.
Carslogie House

I recently checked into Carslogie House in Port Elizabeth around 7pm on a Wednesday night, and unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a gentleman who wasn’t particularly friendly. I asked him for a simple bowl of ice, and to my surprise, he told me he doubted they had any ice at all. I travel frequently, and in my experience, either ice is readily available in the bar fridge or the staff is more than happy to provide some upon request. His response was unexpected, and I questioned him, asking if there was really no ice in the freezer. He firmly said, ”unfortunately not.” Things took a turn for the worse when, about 10 minutes later, I was approached very aggressively by the owner. She was extremely confrontational, getting uncomfortably close to me and telling me that she had to bring ice from her house down the road. She flung a small bag of ice onto the table and scolded me for asking about the ice, accusing me of disrespecting her employee. I was shocked by her rudeness, as I was simply a guest making a polite inquiry. What made it worse was her dismissive attitude when I politely mentioned that I was vegetarian. She rudely shouted back, ”oh well, good luck with that,” before rushing off. I felt completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. As a result, I didn’t even attend breakfast on either of my mornings, even though it had already been paid for. I had no desire to interact with the owner again. This experience was unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in a guest house. The owner and staff desperately need to improve their hosting skills. I cannot recommend Carslogie house , as the hospitality was appalling.
The Beach Hotel
4.2/560 Reviews
Summerstrand
We have stayed here many time because it is a beautiful building in an excellent location. The general staff are outstanding and the food and rooms are amazing. Unfortunately the front desk is just not the same as the rest of the experience. When I wrote in to ask for an early check in I got no reply- on my arrival I asked about this and was told because I got no reply that means it’s fine. I find this odd as I explained that we were arriving after a three part flight over 18 hours. We have stayed here at least 3 other times and my comment for each time would be pretty much the same - I feel the front desk could do better to Mach their rest of the experience.
Admiralty Beach House
4.7/545 Reviews
Summerstrand
Lovely, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds. Very high quality decor, it feels like you are staying somewhere special. Breakfast was excellent and everyone was very attentive. The road at the side of the property was a little noisy but this died down at night. This guest house gives excellent value for money and I would definitely stay again.
Town Lodge Gqeberha
4.2/552 Reviews
Summerstrand
First of all, when you walk into this hotel, it's absolutely breathtaking. Service - You are greeted with a friendly and professional receptionist. I am happy with the service that we received... BUT the after hour receptionist is completely rude and never at the desk. I'm hoping that management will make a replacement. I've had my fair share of visiting hotels and there should always be someone at the front desk. This person should have a good and professional attitude. Instead the man who I called to the front desk was clearly tired and irritable. Rooms - Elevator, television, wifi, a large bathroom, excellent water pressure, soap etc is provided, extremely clean, comfortable bed, large vanity and a massive air conditioner. The rooms are smaller than what we are used to but it's cozy. Load shedding - So unfortunately the air conditioner switches off during load shedding. During this time we were suffering from the unbearable heat. I'm hoping the hotel will upgrade to larger generators. View - Quite a small window, you cannot see the view from your bed which is dissapointing considering we paid extra for an ocean view. Price - R 1450 for a beach view bedroom My opinion... Is it worth it? That would depend on your budget. I usually stay at the Courtyard Hotel which has a balcony, gym, impeccable 24hr service and massive rooms. They charge R1990 per night. If that's what you can afford then I reccomend Courtyard hotel. Town lodge is excellent for a budget price.
Cape Flame Guest House

Just had an amazing stay at Cape Flame Guest House. The staff are lovely, super attentive and friendly. Great room with lovely breakfast. Cape Flame is in the perfect location close to shops and the beach. I think it may have the largest door in PE too! Thank you for looking after us x😀😀😀
