This is quite a nice hotel. Rooms are modern with flat screen TV and good amenities, separate bathroom with Shower/bath/toilet – However the shower if very very small – bend down to pick up the soap and the double door flys open spilling water ontyo the floor or you hit the tap and cold water comes out. Single lift which... More

Checkin was ok, didn't tell me what time meals were so had to ask and anything about the hotel. No help with bags, not sure if 4 stars requires that these days. Went to reception to purchase wifi, as indicated by fellow reviewers its expensive here. 200mb for R80 is steep. Most hotels nowadays offer free wifi to guest or... More

Stayed at the Paxton last week. Friendly staff, excellent porter service and the rooms just have a good feel to it. There is a small shopping centre close by to satisfy your basic needs. The hotel does not serve dinner but there are restaurants close by. The hotel has a bar facility. I stayed with a group and many people... More

We stayed here as part our honeymoon. The hotel is chic and functional. Probably rather for the business traveler than for the romantic get away. The rooms are nicely decorated, breakfast was very good. All rooms have a harbor view. It is about 5 mins drive from the Boardwalk. Nowhere really to go around the hotel so good if you... More

My wife and I went there a while ago, and I should say, the rooms are a bit small, but nice and cosy. Also, we stayed there for one night and checked out early the next morning. Room Service was a bit slow.

This hotel is defintely worth its money. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and the position ideal. Breakfast ist excellent - definitely for return.For the discerning business traveler. Only the occaisonal aircraft noise disturbs the peace. Pity it does not have dinner facilities

I spent four nights at the Paxton Hotel for work. The hotel is small, with nicely decorated rooms and reception area and a small swimming pool. The breakfast was plentiful - eggs, sausages, hashbrowns (not every day), selection of pastries, cereals, bread and fruit. The hotel does not have a restaurant if you needed to have lunch/dinner. There is a... More

What prompted me to write this review was that one of the few redeeming features of this hotel let it down very badly. I'm talking about the fresh muffins at breakfast, I cunningly smuggle them out of breakfast to have as a mid morning snack, usually they're soft and warm with a good crunchy crust. Not today; rock hard and... More
