Find Hotels in Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Not having stayed at the Paxton before, I was interested to experience this hotel on my recent visit to Port Elizabeth. Having booked via Agoda.com and specifically requesting a sea-facing room, I was a bit taken aback when on arrival, I mentioned that I was looking forward to a sea-facing room. The receptionist could not pick up the request even though I had it on my print out. However, she quickly rearranged the room allocated and we were given a room with a harbour and sea view. The rooms are large, well equipped and restful in shades of creams, greys and blues and there is a tea/coffee station in the room as well as the necessary safe, hairdryer, multiplug in the desk, free wifi and complimentary water. We were given a chocolate each on the first night. No turndown service in the evenings but this was fine with us! Very peaceful and friendly hotel with a restaurant downstairs. With COVID-19, booking for breakfast is essential and not included in the rate.

I have just returned from a three night stay at the City Lodge Port Elizabeth, whilst attending the SA Society of Aaesthesiologists annual congress. Everything was fantastic with real value for money. Location is really a five minute walk to the Boardwalk Hotel and Conference Centre. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. Service is very good. This is like a mini five star hotel without the five star prices. Only thing is the breakfast is expesive at R165 but the spread is very good. Still, there is only so much one can eat, and R165 is expensive, when you can get restaurant breakfasts across the road for less than half the price.

Nice location in Port Elizabeth with good ocean views. Very good room layout to include a kitchenette in a cupboard making it easy to be self sufficient and a beautiful balcony overlooking the ocean. Breakfast not included but it was lovely to make your own and sit on the balcony in the sun to eat. Staff were wonderfully attentive and very diligent about their duties. Always wanting to give a bit more.

The spa was excellent. He rooms were large, with a comfortable king bed and an amazing shower and bath combo. The rooms and hotel were kept clean throughout ur stay. The area felt very safe to walk around at all times of the day and night. (Pleased to see only a few electric/barbed fences in this area). Unfortunately the spas location leaves it quite a distance from any positive attraction apart from De Kelder (the best restaurant so far in South Africa). The BoardWalk is around 15-20 minutes walk away and then it's a further 10-15 minutes to the Humewood restaurants, which is more the layout of PE rather than the hotels shortcomings. The restaurant at Isango is hit and miss. Dinner the first night was delicious and well presented. Room service the following night and then dinner on our final night were both less than satisfactory. (Perhaps a different chef). Staff were also very friendly, however there never seemed to be a bartender available for drinks by the pool and when calling reception at night or early mornings there were times when no one answered.

The facility is very peaceful, with activities to enjoy on the premises. The staff could have outlined all the available activities when we were booking in but we just got our key and a map to premises and that was that, more interaction would be good for first timers. due to a burst pipe we did not have water on our 3rd day and when water returned there was no hot water. The room could also do with a microwave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Manor 38, with Christopher being the highlight! He was so helpful and friendly, doing everything he could for us. We really appreciated his calm and professional management style. The house itself is elegant and well-situated within Port Elizabeth, making for a very comfortable stay. Everything you need for a very reasonable price. Thank you!

Staff members are all super friendly and helpful but unfortunately our room was not ready at arrival. Indicated check in time between 1 and 2 pm on the booking. Staff was really nice and requested we return at 3.30pm as they had a group booking that checked out late. We arrived back at 3.40pm but room was still not ready. We were told at reception that we can check out at 11.30 am the next day because of the hold up, yet at 9.30am staff arrived and woke us up to clean the room.

This is an old hotel with some nice features. The lounge area is warm and friendly and the hotel is situated just over the road from one of the nicest beaches in Port Elizabeth. Its a stones throw from the Boardwalk Casino as well as other restaurants and spots on the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean but the bathrooms only have a bath/shower....no separate shower. Not a deal breaker though. It's rated 4-stars but I would probably say its more of a 3-star hotel. I only checked in at around midnight and tried to order a salad and a glass of wine but was told that they only had sandwiches and no wine! All in all not a bad hotel and would stay there again when on business.

My husband and I stayed at the Carslogie House for our 1 night. The owner was there to greet us, showed us around, and gave great pointers about the Port Elizabeth area. The room was beautiful with a large bathroom and was right off the pool area. At breakfast, the owner provided a delicious breakfast and great coffee. This B&B felt more like a resort than a traditional B&B!

We got picked up by the son of James from the airport, he explained us a bit about Port Elizabeth city and drove us near to a township because we told them we never saw any township yet :) Port Elizabeth is pretty safe city and Forest Hall Guest House is well decorate, room is beautiful and comfortable. It was rainy day when we arrived, but yet we felt great when we arrive to the guest house. On the next day morning, we saw they have a lovely garden as well. Breakfast was great too. I would definitely recommend this lovely guest house to everyone !

We chose the hotel for wheelchair accessibility. You can travel in a wheelchair from the car park to reception, to your room, to the bar, and to the restaurant, some via elevators. The hotel gave us a room with an accessible roll-in shower. The beds were very comfortable, we had a view of the ocean. Breakfast at the restaurant was not included in our rate, but was excellent and reasonably priced.

We stayed at island vibe port elizabeth while visiting my partners family we absolutely loved our stay at Island Vibe our rooms were so clean and spacious with cleaning staff knocking on our door each morning asking if we want our room cleaned. The staff could not do enough for you, you felt part of there family while staying there.I felt really safe staying at Island Vibe It was the first time I felt I could leave my bag in the room without worrying about something happening, same with food in the fridge what you put there stays there, they also had security at night time. I really love how they looked after there guests thank you to all the staff at Island Vibe for our great stay we look forward to coming back next year

We had a wonderful time in PE especially at the cool windy stroll along the beaches & watching young guys surfing. Both the owners Cathy & Gordon are wonderful couple & a good host, welcoming and made us feel very relax & comfortable. Aqua Marine Guesthouse is only few minutes walk to the beaches. The room is clean & with kitchenette. I enjoyed every moments in Aqua Marine & especially withthe friendly hosts. Thanks Cathy & Gordon.

I arrived very early as 06h15 there, I knew checkin time is 14h00 but they welcome me and offered me breakfast although I didn't take it. Amazing thing I got the room at 10h00 am, it was woooow neat and more nice than I was expecting, closer to shopping centre, closer to Nelson Mandela Stadium where I had to attend festival, 10min walk to the beach. I need to visit more and stay there again

We started our Garden Route in Port Elizabeth with a 2 nights stay at Le Blue Guesthouse. Jean Pierre and his father made us feel very welcome. I have now been in South Africa for 2 weeks and they were the friendliest and most memorable hosts we encountered so far. Especially Jean Pierre has an amazing personality :)! The location of their guesthouse is right in between Port Elizabeth and Addo National Park (Mathyolweni Gate), just a 15-20 min drive to both places. Addo National Park is really a must see when you’re staying here. We saw most of the animals in the south of the park! We had room number 4 when staying at Le Blue Guesthouse which is a nice private room in the corner. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that there is no door to bathroom. Breakfast is between 7-9AM and is served by Jean Pierre himself. Overall we had a great and memorable experience at Le Blue Guesthouse. Thank you!

The best thing about the place was the staff, Gloria and Randell , Both New at thier work had been exceptional. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and had been so accommodating that we felt they were part of our family. (I have stayed in many hotels round the world which we cannot compare to as this was a lodge / B&B type place) , however the service we received were beyond 5 star which even the best hotels could not compare to. I honestly wish I could have Randel and Gloria as my personal home helpers

We stayed in the poolside room- it was beautifully appointed, incredibly quiet and couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to hang our hats for 3 days. The breakfast room every morning was laid out with the most incredible selection of fresh fruit, cheeses, meats, breads, and the staff couldn't have been more attentive and accommodating. Had an amazing weekend.
