Service was good
Everythings was good
Cleanliness
Parking is a nightmare, the rooms are way too small one can't move in the bathroom. The shower looks very cranky all plastic. It felt like I was in a dormitory. Microwave oven was inoperable.
Hi, it was good value for money. We will visit again.
Nothing in particular.
The place was clean
The place has no heaters or electric blankets
The place is convenient to all amenities.
There's dust far corners of the beds,once in a week please ask yours helpers to do a spring cleaning in the rooms.
The unit was spacious and clean. The location is central
There was a water shortage and no backup water provided
It was nice and clean, friendly staff at reception it was easy to locate the place as I'm not from Port Elizabeth.
The place is pleasant
Hated the fact that i showered in called water early in the cold morning.
Close to where my work was.
You could hear other guests from their rooms.
The property is clean honestly
Rooms are too small especially the side i was … and the headboard design at ruby room nooo
Cleanliness
Too squashed. I couldn’t breathe
The location was excellent welcoming was good and the rooms were very clean everything was perfect
I was looking for programs on TV but I was straggling to find them please do better on that one especially dStV programs
Staff member was pleasant and helpful It was near the airport
Advertising photos are misleading I completed card on how I found the accommodation on site
I liked everything about the place, it's quite at night you can sleep peacefully without disturbance security is tight
Nothing
It near the airport, looks beautiful
The room was so small,the noise.. and most of it all the water issues turned me off water just stop at the shower with soap all over your body…throughout my stay and it was not good at all
We loved our our rooms very neat and soon comfortable everything was in close proximity to us.
Nothing I v can think of now
The room was cleaned consistently whenever we went out, which we appreciated. The accommodation was also quiet, with no disruptive noise, and the location was very convenient. It is close to the airport, Boardwalk Mall and the beach, while having a garage next door, which made access and convenience much easier.
I am extremely disappointed with our stay and feel that the accommodation did not meet the standards or expectations that were communicated when we made the booking. The accommodation was advertised as self-catering, so we reasonably expected a functional kitchen with the necessary facilities, including a stove and a sink for washing dishes. However, there was no stove and no sink, making it practically impossible to use the accommodation as a self-catering unit. This was a significant inconvenience and does not correspond with what we expected when booking. To make matters worse, the room was leaking whenever it rained. This is a serious maintenance issue that negatively affected our comfort and our overall experience. A leaking room is not something guests should reasonably have to deal with, particularly when paying for accommodation that is expected to be properly maintained and suitable for occupancy. We had also requested a baby cot in advance, and this request was approved. Despite this, the cot was not provided when we arrived. We only raised the matter the following day, after which we were told that the cot was apparently with maintenance for repairs. This is unacceptable. If the requested cot was unavailable, we should have been informed before our arrival, giving us an opportunity to make alternative arrangements. Instead, we were left without an essential item that had specifically been requested and confirmed. Taken together, these issues significantly affected our stay. The absence of basic self-catering facilities, the leaking room, and the failure to provide the confirmed baby cot demonstrate a clear gap between what was promised and what was actually provided.
Everything
The staff was helpful
There’s a strong smell in the units. There’s also a lot of flying insects
It was clean and comfortable.
No hair dryer available. As an international traveller, I do not carry a hair dryer due to the different plugs etc. Most hotels supply hair dryers. I asked at reception and was told no hair dryers available.
Lage zum Flughafen Parkplatz vor der Tür
Badezimmer nur durch Wand getrennt, Ungemütlich, kein Wohlfühlfaktor Sehr harte Betten
Dichtbij de luchthaven
Kleine kamer, maar hadden eigenlijk niet veel meer verwacht
Nos ha encantado!! Todo ha estado genial y la habitación es estupenda!
Location (only)
It was very cold, very small for a family, very expensive..not worth the money at all...
Great location, as in close to airport and the boardwalk. The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean.
The rooms are small, I interpreted the advert the wrong way. I thought it was a cost effectively homely B&B, but it's actually a lodge. If all you want is a night for a worker, then it's fine. It lacked creature comforts but was a bed for the night, which was all I needed.
Nee wat n lawaai van bure
Naby lughawe
The room view
No drinking water, no shower caps, your microwave was not working and we reported, no lotions in the shower, your Wi-fi stopped working at night
Behind gate parking.
The room was very small, we couldn't even bring our luggage in. We were right next to the staff kitchen and dustbins.
Pour une nuit c’était bien
The room hotel clean quiet and comfort May even too boring.
While I checked out I’ve asked my passport copy they demand from me at check in since I get their key room back and it all was good like the reception say they didn’t wanted to give me my own personal details even so and that terrifying my privacy since they can rule my life even at stay and even when I’m leaving the guest house and I’m quite sure it’s using laws abuse force on private people and lovely person the price allready ain’t cheap and I quite sure it ain’t worth it like so..! Sorry guys but your service costumer must be priority to improve life and not make modern jail lost and unpleasant to your own customer!
Convenient near airport location Reception staff member was great very helpful
Very small room, tiny bathroom, noise from other rooms, door didn’t feel safe
The property is closer to the mall, beach , airport
I loved everything about it
The place was safe and well located
There is no plug in the basin, no kitchen towels, till we asked for one, no cutting knives, just 2 bread knives, stove did not work very well. Floors are dull and not polished
Location was not bad and the staff were so friendly and helpful.
Room was too small.
Was close to the airport.
Not a quiet space. The room we were in had no real privacy. We could hear the people staying upstairs, foot steps up and down and unfortunately the guests staying across from us were incredibly noisy. From 1am showers to what sounded like vomiting, was all off putting.
I loved everything.
Regular housekeeping
It's clean
It's small
Everything was perfect
Al i can say I love this place
The rooms were clean
The gate stays open till 10 pm, they don’t close it . There were noisy tenants who were drinking near the fire place whom seem to be familiar with the place .
rooms are small but cosy
space
No Iron in the room yet they don't answer their calls before 8am, as well as the the R200 fee that you must come back to collect. At least if their reception opened at 7am and the whole key issue sorted so as to not inconvenience others

I liked the staff they were friendly and welcoming
The bedding in the room was a little dirty
It was neat and quiet and comfortable
The reception was quite disappointing because when we arrived there was no one to attend to us, we had to walk around looking for someone to assist us
Helpful and friendly staff, good location, room was comfortable.
Safety
It doesn’t accommodate kids, we only had showers of which it only made it difficult to bath the little ones The rooms are very cold, we were freezing
Cleanliness
Cold water in the morning, but hot water came back again after 7 minutes.
The decor.
1. The door was banging, I had to stuff toilet paper in the door grooves. 2. Had to lay towels the floor by the door to stop the wind from coming in. 3. The shower drainage. 4. The bedding and towels was smelling like the green bar soap, it was stinking. 5. Smaller than expected. 6. The fridge made so much
Cleanness
The bed needs to be replaced. We did not sleep comfortable at all. I don't know if the room next to ours was a control room or not, but you could clearly hear people having a normal conversation with the television on pass 24:00. Thank you. Gavin Merrick.
The location was convenient. Checking in and out was relatively easy. The room was of a standard caliber, cozy and clean, and felt like a little home away from home. Would definitely visit again! Thanks!
There's not much to mention except the noise level in the periphery, including low flying planes.
It is closer to the airport
They could do better with cleaning their showers and the whole bathroom,fix lights that are dead and door handles
They don't compromise on appliances and bedding, choosing only top-brand quality.
Some rooms are divided by boards, so you can literally hear a person snoring from the next room.
Nice room ,free wifi comfortable bed
Small bathroom ,no emergency button, no barglas
Great place. Good value for money!
Location is OK
Rooms are too small and cramped. Linen was dirty.
