“A poor experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I didn't like this hotel for the following reasons:

1. My room was very dark as it looked out onto a high, sheer wall just feet away.

2. When I escaped the depressing atmosphere to sit on the balcony outside the restaurant, staff would not deliver my suitcase to my room as I was not there.

3. The bar area was full of smokers.

4. Breakfast started much later than it should have done, with the result that we had a rather inadequate meal.

Perhaps I just had a particularly bad experience, but I definitely would not recommend this hotel.

Stayed January 2012, travelled with friends

“OK for a stop and Go!”

I went at the Kelway Hotel with my brother before the World Cup in 2010 (June). We took the Ostrich Steak at the restaurant hotel and it was good. Hotel near the ocean and the beach. Nothing much to say about this place, it's "OK" for a short stay just before leaving for a flight at the Port Elizabeth Airport.

“Great Hotel But P.E is too quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Good hotel really handy for Summer Strand. Menu in the restaurant is good with excellent nice breakfast. Lots of facilities and very nice rooms. The only problem is P.E. Its not a pretty city albeit its easy to get around. The casino complex which is nearby has lots of nice restaurants and we eat at Squires which did a lovely Kudo for £11. Drinks were reasonably priced everywhere about £1.50 a bottle of Castle. The problem was we spoke to a Captain in the Sout African police who warned us about wearing valuables on the main strip. As a cop myself I did concern me so we didnt stay out long which may have hampered the options. Still two days in the hotel were fine but not enough to do especially for young people. Finally, at £93 a night I thought it was £20 overpriced.

Room Tip: 2 hours along the garden route is Storms River stop there the views are great

“Nice large room with a balcony with sea view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed for one night in this modern hotel close to the shore. We liked our room: it was big and had its own balcony, which was good for a cigar and a glass of wine. The restaurant is a little bit too big and was lacking atmosphere. The food was good though. The reception was just average. Overall a good place for one or two nights.

“An OK Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

Perfectly acceptable hotel conveniently placed for the beach but the rooms are rather variable in quality. We stayed on our way to and from The Addo and our first room was no more than ok whilst the second was rather nice. Beware however of staying when there is a function on as you won't get any sleep until it finishes!
