3 Stars Hotels in Eastern Cape, South Africa

Ok place nothing special

Do not visit this hotel if you can afford to spend your money better. In disbelief as I type. Some of the reception staff gossip and don't greet guests on arrival so you have to kind of let them get on with it while you find someone who actually wants to welcome you as you check in. Careless is an understatement. A two-night's stay (2 single beds in one room) cost approximately R3 000,00. What exactly did we pay for? A room that smelled of heavy body odor, and Lord knows what else. Then upon requesting to be moved to a livable room, we were informed that they would prepare a suitable one. They didn't revert with any update for an hour while we sat in the stinky room, getting headaches from the stench. We had to call reception after which a porter was sent to take our luggage to the room next door, which smelled normal and fresh. You'd think that'd be the end of it. They apologized citing a mix up or error in allocation of rooms while I wondered exactly who the stinky room had initially been intended for (if it really was a mix-up/error). Health inspections don't seem to be a priority and it's quite concerning. Anyway, this room had no working air-conditioning/heater (it's in the dead of winter) so we called the reception for the maintenance guy who was very helpful. He replaced the batteries in the air conditioner's remote using those from the TV remote then brought new ones for the TV remote, for a TV that only has 3 channels to watch, mind you, the wifi has been 'down' for years. For context, we were exhausted from running loads of errands when we got there but had to wait in a stinky room for over an hour for them to prepare the room. We were irritable and sleep did not come easy. Never have I missed my own bed at home, while at a hotel as much as I did that night. We decided to stay in the next day (one of us wasn't feeling well after having to sit in a stinky room for over an hour) and informed housekeeping after only requesting a towel change and no further cleaning of the room. They took out the bins and let me replace the coffee and sugar while they did so. So I ordered breakfast on UberEats afterwards and stepped out for two/five minutes to collect it and someone (within that brief window) knocked on the door and opened it while one of us (who wasn't feeling well) was inside thinking I was at the door back from collecting the delivery downstairs. The unidentified male had entered the room without announcing himself. She was startled and asked him what he was doing in the room and he mumbled something about needing to check something on the balcony as he rushed out of the room. No one called or came afterwards. What a regrettable stay. We were so relieved to check out the next day to stay at a way better hotel nearby. Hospitality 0 Value for money 0 Peace of mind 0

We spent one night here, arriving at about 20:00 after a long flight. Our room was quite nice, but a bit old, it had a small verandah and a kitchenette. Breakfast was good. The location is very good, between the airport and the sea. There is private parking. The owner is very kind and she went the extra mile calling her friend and even a friend of her friend to let us know how to find the bench with Mandela statue at University. They have some lights and wi-fi working during loadshedding, that it’s very important.

Self-driving Garden Avenue, depending on the positioning of the hotel. The location is good, go down a bit at N2. When I arrived at the hotel, I discovered that the hotel looks better than the pictures. I booked a family room, but it turned out to have three beds and a small garden with the side door open. The room is very spacious. The decoration of the hotel is very retro, and breakfast is generally a buffet. Overall, the price/performance ratio is high. It’s also great to go around. The location is good. Highly recommend the restaurant next to the hotel, the lamb shank is super delicious!

The room was very clean and the decoration was relatively new, similar to the clean and tidy hotel in China. Breakfast is poor and can fill your stomach. The environment and conditions in the public area are average.
