Great short stay in central Walmer

Nice comfortable one night stay in the heart of Port Elizabeth. Well located in central Walmer close to the best coffee shops and dining options. Service and welcome was fantastic and service throughout exceptionally good from all staff members. Feel the furnishings are dated and need some upgrading, appreciate that the style is Victorian however I feel that some of the general areas need upgrading. The rooms were extremely large and well equipped.

Wonderful

We booked this hotel in very short order and were not disappointed. Once inside the gate it is an oasis of greenery and calm. It's quite a transition from wide open non-descript street to find yourself parking by huge rubber plants and beautiful established gardens. The house is incredible and super comfortable - our room was perfect and very big! From the host through to the staff we met this is a friendly, professional and kind establishment.. we loved it and would have no issue whatsoever in recommending this property...

No interest in client satisfaction

We never got to stay there. Our cat broke down 200km from Port Elizabeth on our way, 4 hours prior to check in. We called to inform the establishment that we would not be able to make it to Port Elizabeth, yet they refused a refund. We will not book there again.

Very cute

Excellent staff! Great area. Food was amazing. Room was very nice and spacious… be advised that everything is colonial and vintage, if your style is modern you might not enjoy this. We loved it and would go back in a minute! Parking is a little tight but that’s not even a reason to frown… A++

You’re in for a treat….

A lovely reminder of home. This cosy country house was the perfect stay in Port Elizabeth. Beautiful decor, excellent service and delicious food. Also enjoyed a game of tennis and sitting by the pool with a book and glass of wine. Nothing too much trouble and appreciated the little touches such as a packed breakfast before we went out on a trip.

Atendimento personalizado e hotel requintado

Desde a chegada ao hotel, fomos surpreendidos pela recepção e atenção que nos foi dispensada. O Sr. Winton é um funcionário diferenciado, tendo sido extremamente atencioso, demonstrando cuidado nos detalhes da hospedagem no Hacklewood. A estrutura é antiga, com uma decoração aderente ao perfil e à idade do imóvel, tudo com um excelente bom gosto. Localizado a uma pequena distância do aeroporto, o hotel fica distante da região de praia de Port Elizabeth, o que deve ser levado em consideração se o objetivo é curtir a cidade. De qualquer maneira, a experiência de hospedagem no hotel, com um atendimento requintado e sofisticado, deve ser levado em consideração a favor do hotel. Sem dúvida voltaria ao hotel.

Old world luxury with excellent service

In PE on business. Needed accommodation unexpectedly. Called last minute and was received extremely well. Spent a restful night after a hectic day on site in spacious, quiet surroundings. Early breakfast was willingly organised so that I could start the day on time. Would not hesitate to stay her again.

Geheimtip für gourmets

Außerordentlich gutes, ausgezeichnetes Essen! Die Köchin bezaubert, die weinauswahl ist gut, es wird ein sehr guter Riesling angeboten. Da bleibt kein Wunsch offen. Das Haus ist old England style, charmante Gastgeber und perfekter, hilfreicher Service.
