On our three week trip with a group of 8 throughout South Africa we were happy to stay in this excellent modern city hotel which was business-like but also made us as vacation travellers feel at home instantly. The reception was efficient, helpfull and friendly, the location of the hotel is good, the design is cosy and the rooms are... 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

This hotel is near the harbour and north of the main beach strip in Port Elizabeth. The rooms are large with a good sized desk, bath and shower and with a safe that can accommodate a laptop. There are not many restaurants in the immediate vicinity but there is a supermarket and coffee shop close by. Breakfast was good and... 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

This hetel looks good from the outside. Inside though its has the feel of just another boilerplate hotel, where everything is extra. Staff was rude and inefficient. The room was small although well appointed. Bathroom was minute but clean. WiFi was expensive. The main advantage of this hotel is the location - near the airport. Very useful when one has... More
