All the brochures we have, the internet, and even the agents our travel agent booked through recommended Brookes Luxury Suites. Well let me tell you there is absolutely nothing luxury (or at least in room 117!) about these suites.
From the moment we arrived it was absolutely horrific.
First off we were told we were in a room with a...
Just visiting Port Elizabeth is a bad choice. However, it you need to go there, please do not choose Victoran Villa Guest Manor.
The pictures on the webpage are misleading. The first thing we needed to ask for was new - clean - sheets. The bathroom was dirty, actually everything was dirty. When we pointed out to the receptionist that...
The b&b has no direct access to the sea at all: you have to walk for not less than 1 km to reach it. No air-conditioning as well. The room are close to the living room and starting from 6 30 am you hear a lot of noise of staff working around. The photos advertised on their web-site are misleading....
I have been traveling to Port Elizabeth for many years and normally stayed at the City Lodge Beach Road. I guess for a chain hotel group it is probably the standard to offer. The hotel is about 10 minutes away from Port Elizabeth air port. The rooms are average with a very peculiar color scheme ( see photo attached )...
I stayed here for one night on route to safari, I will not ever stay here again! The room was tatty.
We were placed near a staff access point which whilst trying to sleep was a non starter! Didn't fancy trying to move rooms very late at night and I would like to thank the reception member of staff who...
Addo Elephant Safari Lodge Review
We took a bus from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth to visit this place. We paid for a “road” transfer from the bus station to the Addo Elephant Safari Lodge. Due to a clerical error on their part, the shuttle was over an hour late in picking us up from the bus station. This wouldn’t...
This hotel has been a regular of mine for many years and recently it has been looking tired. I think it is due for a revamp. Our room was typical of a garden court. Clean, with a nice shower and TV. The blanket in the room came in handy when my traveling companion came down with a bout of shivers....
Having needed a much deserved break we decided to holiday in PE. After carefully selecting a hotel from the various sites we chose Isango Gate in Summerstrand. WOW our initial welcome to this lovely modern hotel was amazing. We were shown our lovely rooms by reception and the children were taken to the deck area where a milkshake was made...
I often stay at the hotel on business and was pleasently surprised with the recent refurbishment of the hotel. My room was a good size and I had a lovely view over the ocean. As PE is so small, it was convenient to get from my hotel to all my business appointments. I had room service dinner and breakfast and...
We spent two nights at Bishops Inn and would not stay there again. The hotel is in the process of renovating. Workers started working on the courtyard outside our room at 7 a.m.
One of our rooms did not have a properly functioning shower head. The staff said it was impossible to change rooms, because the entire hotel was full....
The Singa deco is great and very cool. The staff attentive except the nigh staff seemed a bit drunk otherwise everyone was very friendly in th day .The food very nice I think thy can do much better at breakfast time. I would not stay with young children here the bathrooms are very open plan. Each room is individually decorated....
We only needed a one night stay in PE, but I still took to Tripadvisor for advice on the best place. We stayed at 5 other places in South Africa which were fantastic, but this was a real dud. The lobby/common area was nice enough but we were placed in the farthest room away which was pretty gross. The room...
