10/10 Excellent
"This was my second time to Port Elizabeth and I love staying here! The main reason is that it is very close to the airport and I can make my departing flights easily. But I do love the hotel for its size, location, beach, ambiance, food, price, and nearby shopping and casino. Everything I want at a stone’s throw. Oh, and the staff is very nice and the rooms are really nice! My favorite place in Port Elizabeth, second only to Barefoot Addo Elephant Lodge."

The Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"This hotel is broadly very good. I was staying in one of its better rooms and everything in the room was pretty good. The staff were excellent, the breakfast is good and the Ginger Restaurant was a real treat. My only criticisms are 1) that there seems to be an issue with their hot water which means it is tinted yellow and sometimes produces sediment. This is only an issue really if you want to take a bath, but given PE and South Africa do have major water supply issues, this isn't the end of the world as the shower was good. Otherwise, the WiFi wasn't strong enough to connect to my rooms smart TV, meaning I couldn't watch Netflix etc without using my phones hotspot. Again, fairly minor. I would happily stay again."
