Mantis No5 Boutique Art Hotel

We had an absolutely great Cape Trip with no terrible rooms, all 5star in their own way. But No. 5 and Swartberg Manor were our two best. No. 5 was an awesome! value. It was easily our best room physically in are whole trip. Spacious!, clean, quiet and peaceful. We were put up in the 3 room annex across the street, room number 10, it was huge and well appointment. Crossing the street for breakfast was no big deal, in return we had a house with only 3 quests, total peace and quiet and pool virtually to ourselves. The food was outstanding for dinner, and the breakfast superb! They made hot breakfast 20 min early for us (06:40) to facilitate our daytrip/safari at Addo Elephant. Unbelievable service. Art work is a great touch making this a unique place. Great service all around, but Nick the desk manager who we interacted with the most was superb. Attached some pics of the Annex.

Stayed here one night en route to further travels in the Eastern Cape. The hotel was quite empty as it was the night before a mid-week public holiday. We had a lovely time. Staff were exceptional - Kristen at reception and Patrick in the restaurant and everywhere else. The restaurant was unexpectedly delightful - 10/10 for the venison starter and Cape Salmon main dish. You’re unlikely to like every single item of art, but very likely to love some of it. The room was large, luxurious, spotlessly clean,, and everything worked as it should. Much recommended.

Wonderful staff and the hotel is beautiful. Arrived at the hotel after being involved in an incident, staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist in anyway they could. The hotel is very clean, modern and full of surprises. Stunning cinema, and wine cellar. The room we had was stunning, large bedroom, bathroom and lounge area. We had dinner, fillet steak was delightful. We had a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed our 1 night stay. We wish to personally thank the staff for all their help and assistance in making our stay enjoyable.

11 of us enjoyed the Movie & Burger Night in the private cinema..Great service, Superb burgers, popcorn, sweets with our Movie- a totally fabulous evening!! Thank you, Mantis No 5!! From the time we arrived at Reception, we were welcomed so warmly, and this continued in the Lounge, with drinks service, followed by dinner and our Movie- We were treated like Royalty!!

Overall cute and safe Boutique hotel. My only concern was ai ddint pay all this money to clwan the toilet from the previous persons un the room. So house keeping needs to do better. Other than this it was a great stay and really nice property.

Great hotel, amazing decor and really friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is near Port Elizabeth airport and the hotel is only too happy to arrange transport to the airport. The rooms were really comfortable and the location was good too. We only stayed for one night but were made to feel really welcome.

Very stylish boutique hotel a block from the seafront. The beds were very comfortable and no expense spared with the fixtures and fittings. Lovely balcony. Pool OK but needed a bit of a clean. Restaurant nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Mostly a business place as not much to do in the immediate city.

We had actually planned to stay at Hotel No5 by Manis in Port Elisabeth for just one night, but after spending some hours here we decided to extend our visit. The level of hospitality is truly outstanding, making our stay incredibly welcomed, comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel's incorporation of a wonderful art deco building with matching interior adds a distinctive touch to the overall experience. Staying in a place that seamlessly combines accommodation with a kind of museum creates a unique and enriching atmosphere, making the stay all . You just expect that Marlene Dietrich come down the staircase after filming the latest Josef von Sternberg Movie :-) The first night we stayed at the Executive Suite at Hotel No5 which is great. Elegantly designed and well-appointed, it provides a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities makes the stay in the Executive Suite truly memorable. For the second night we choose to stay at the presidential suite which, in our opinion, is a true masterpiece. The tasteful and authentic furnishings create an atmosphere of opulence and grandeur. As we then had to extend for even one more night the staff really cared about us and was very helpful. The hotel has a charming small pool area, offering a perfect spot to relax and unwind. Additionally, the on-site restaurant is of a high quality, we tried it for dinner and room service and were never disappointed. Our stay at Hotel No5 by Manis in Port Elizabeth was very nice, great service , an unique art deco museum setting and great rooms.
