2-Star Hotels in Eastern Cape, South Africa

First of all, when you walk into this hotel, it's absolutely breathtaking. Service - You are greeted with a friendly and professional receptionist. I am happy with the service that we received... BUT the after hour receptionist is completely rude and never at the desk. I'm hoping that management will make a replacement. I've had my fair share of visiting hotels and there should always be someone at the front desk. This person should have a good and professional attitude. Instead the man who I called to the front desk was clearly tired and irritable. Rooms - Elevator, television, wifi, a large bathroom, excellent water pressure, soap etc is provided, extremely clean, comfortable bed, large vanity and a massive air conditioner. The rooms are smaller than what we are used to but it's cozy. Load shedding - So unfortunately the air conditioner switches off during load shedding. During this time we were suffering from the unbearable heat. I'm hoping the hotel will upgrade to larger generators. View - Quite a small window, you cannot see the view from your bed which is dissapointing considering we paid extra for an ocean view. Price - R 1450 for a beach view bedroom My opinion... Is it worth it? That would depend on your budget. I usually stay at the Courtyard Hotel which has a balcony, gym, impeccable 24hr service and massive rooms. They charge R1990 per night. If that's what you can afford then I reccomend Courtyard hotel. Town lodge is excellent for a budget price.

Extremely hot inside. The aircon is useless. Ive been here afew times over the years , just because of the low price. The service is good , and you get free coffee. The place is also clean. There is no elevator so you have to carry your heavy bags up 3 flights of stairs when the bottom rooms are booked. Ample hot water ,excellent water pressure. Toilet is too small , my partner couldnt even close the door when he used the loo. Bed is hard and the tv has only SABC. The wifi makes up for it. Positives : free wifi , good water pressure ,hygeinic , free coffee , very affordable Negatives : cramped , extremely hot , hard mattress , no elevator ,no security gated parking.

During a recent visit to Port Elizabeth to attend my daughter's wedding, we stayed at Framesby Guest house. It was a very pleasant experience. The booking was done about two months prior and when I needed to change dates to accommodate changes in our flights, it was done promptly without any hassles. Since we were staying for a week, there were a few things that we needed in the kitchen that would not normally be required for a weekend get away. These items, like a tin opener, strainer etc. were sourced or even bought to make our stay as pleasant as possible. I am impressed that with Escom's loadshedding, Framesby Guest house is not affected. A generator provides enough electricity for all normal activities to continue.

We loved our time at Horseshoe Game Reserve, and can't wait to go back! Being only 30-minutes (ish) away from EL, it's perfect for a quick weekend escape from the craziness of everyday life. The wood-fired hot tub is also an absolute treat - be sure to take along a chilled bottle of bubbles! Special thanks to Andre who went the extra mile during our stay. Honestly, for the price we paid, I can't recommend this place enough.
