Very good value for money, basic room, no fridge, bad service, unfriendly staff, variety of restaurants to choose from to bring take-aways - food not good at all ... but overall not bad for just one night

We chose this hotel because we had a late arrival into P.E. and an early departure the next day. We couldn't see the sense in paying more when we really just needed a place to crash. We wanted multiple rooms for the family and tried to email ahead to confirm this. The hotel didn't respond to emails, but were happy... More

I stayed here one night, and was itching to upgrade to a better hotel the next morning. First of all, the hotel is in a great location. It is in one of the best areas of Humewood literally a 2-3 minute walk to the boardwalk. There is ample free parking, and the staff was nice enough. The rooms were very... More

Though the room was affordable,clean and centrally located we experienced theft of my cellphone.We left the room at 23h35 and upon return about half an hour later discovered my cellphone to be missing.Amazingly they detected that someone other than us entered our room at 23h39!!Believe it within 4minutes... The proof is there as management checked in the morning which key... More

I had to visit PE for a product launch. All I needed was place to stay over for the night. Road Lodge filled this requirement and more. Conveniently situated to where I needed to be. Close to the Boardwalk & Casino. Plenty of restaurants to choose from close by. The reception staff were friendly and efficient. The room was neat,... More

Despite some negative reviews and a one star rating, this hotel was everything we needed during our World Cup visit to Port Elizabeth. We spent several nights there and were impressed with the friendly staff, cleanliness of the rooms and overall presentation of the building. The rooms are small but get the job done. And the costs are excellent considering... More

The main reason why I stayed over at the Road Lodge at the Boardwalk in PE was location. The hotel is situated on the beach road, closeby to the boardwalk entertainment centre and a couple of good bars and restaurants. Although the product of the hotel is not mind blowing, the rooms are clean, the quality of the bed is... More

We arrived from Canada on the flight that arrives in Capetown at almost midnight. This is a small, but friendly hotel and very close to the airport which is a huge benefit at that time of night. It was ideal for an overnight stay. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The rooms basic but clean.

I am based in East London and I regulary travel to Port Elizabeth on business. The Road Loadge is always my first choice for accommodation. I see that now there have been checking in changes where one has to fill forms something we didn't do before and this extends the checking in time. However, this does not bother me as... More
