    Location It was perfect

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Its a very small thing but with Check In they ask on booking what time do you want to check in on the booking but when you get there the room is not ready (this may be a once off as it was Iron Man Weekend). Second is due to it being established it feels like its missing that value add extra touch feeling (perfect hotel has everything but could use a baked cookie or something extra just to round out a elevated travel experience

    Location and comfort Nothing

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    The Location could not be better, across the road from the best beach in Gqeberha right next to Boardwalk Mall. The Staff are extremely welcoming, and helpful offer to assist with things that are not necessary, but go out of their way to make your stay more than comfortable!! To be honest, I really had to think very hard about this question, as there was nothing about The Beach Hotel that I did not like. The one thing that came to mind is that 2 of the channels on the TV did not work, it is not an issue for me as I am not a big TV fan - it was more for background noise and I chose another channel.

    Needs new carpeting

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Room was ok - required more tv channels to be more accommodative + the sweet msgs on the cards and cookies Location - secure, easy to find, central to all other places (restaurants and airport)

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Perfect Location Better views of the beach. The hotel only has 1 floor up. There is no lift and my room was far

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Friendly and efficient staff. Attention to detail for our requests for a cot for our baby. Spacious room with a pool and sea view. Lovely restaurant for a snack and drink looking onto the ocean. Fabulos breakfast buffet.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Room No.37 was very good. Spacious. Comfortable. The shower was terrible! AWFUL. Water pressure was abysmal,and the hot water was not exactly hot.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Great location, right on the beachfront. Enjoyed the restaurants at the venue: upmarket dining at Ginger Restaurant if you feel like a nice dinner; as well as a more relaxed option on the deck at The Verandah if you feel like chilled sundowners. Secure parking at the back of the hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable, will definitely stay at this hotel again on our next visit.

    Close to beach and mall TV reception bad
