The venue is lovely and staff are very attentive. The area is secure but as a European it’s always strange to see neighbouring buildings with high fences and bar windows. The beach is less than 5 minutes away, very nice strands there!

Art Deco hotel, bit pricey, poor housekeeping
Very striking and stylish ArtDeco interiors in this hotel, but we didn’t enjoy ourselves as much as we expected. While the rooms are quite nice, the service was surprisingly poor. We were only staying one night, and after checking into the hotel in the afternoon we were disappointed to discover our bed had no linen on it. This didn’t get resolved until after 9 o’clock at night! We had an early flight the next day so it was pretty inconvenient having to wait for hours for housekeeping into the night. When the maids finally turned up they weren’t even apologetic and just sort of gossiped and giggled between themselves while they made up the bed. Thought it odd that a hotel like this one needed 7 hours or more to scrounge up a set of bedsheets for paying guests.

Very nice stay in Port Elizabeth at No5 Boutique
We stayed for one night whilst passing through Port Elizabeth. The location was good and out of the busy city centre. Parking was available and the hotel staff were very helpful from the first moment to the last. The hotel and rooms were very clean and well designed. There were swimming pools although we didn't use them. Would definitely go back.
