Reviewed Jul 15, 2026I liked that there were restaurants attached to the hotel and the breakfast buffet was the best I’ve ever had!
The rooms while modern seem a little run down if you look closely at things like the grouting in the bathroom, marks on skirtings and floors. It’s not a big issue but you do notice it.

Reviewed Jun 17, 2026Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt im St Andrews Hotel in Port Alfred. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel bietet alles, was man für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt benötigt.
Das Frühstück war insgesamt gut, könnte jedoch etwas hochwertiger sein. Die Wurstauswahl war eher durchschnittlich und hätte ansprechender gestaltet werden können. Etwas überraschend fanden wir, dass Kaffee und Kakao zusätzlich bezahlt werden müssen.

Reviewed May 26, 2026The St Andrews Hotel is full of character and the new bedroom wing is modern and stylish, the gardens are beautifully maintained and the staff is extremely helpful and efficient. The rooms are large with modern bathrooms, the shower is huge with very good pressure.The airconditioning is very efficient, which is necessary in South Africa. The location is accross the road from the golf course, and a short drive to the beach and shops. Highlander Pub is the best in Port Alfred, food is overall excellent. We love the hotel and have stayed here often. Highly recommended.
Bath towels need upgrading, also need an extra bath mat in the bathroom.

Reviewed Apr 15, 2026The property has a lovely room, lovely garden, the pool area is also very gorgeous.
I think the only thing I will suggest is that the entry to the pool be lockable so that it is not easy for small kids to enter, that they can only gain access with a parent.
