Building was old, so we're the furnishing and appliances. But everything works. No air-conditioning, no lifts. Definitely not a neighborhood you want to walk around at night, but conveniently close to St George's Park cricket stadium. Friendly staff.
The room was nice and comfortable. The traffic in Cape rd was a bid noisy and I struggled to fall asleep, but for one night, it was okay. We could not connect to the wifi. I think that needs a bit attention.
The staff were great. Very helpful and friendly! However the location was not so great. In walking distance to most things except the beach and the area that surrounds the hotel is not entirely safe, especially after dark.
I booked 10 on Cape because it was on a main road - thought safety - and 10 minutes walk from a whole load of restaurants. When we got there, we had to get through a gate. I thought 'fair enough'. We couldn't check in as we were a bit early, but the receptionist/owner? took all our details, gave us the keys and said come back in 30 minutes and the apartment would be ready. 'How long to walk to the bars/coffee shops?' I asked. No you don't want to walk, came the reply, it's not safe. This was at 1.30pm in the afternoon.
That put a dampener on things. It's not the apartments fault, but I do like to wander. Good news is that an Uber is only 20Rand to Stanley Street where there are loads of restaurants and bars. The beachfront is a short drive away and is lovely. We did have a great time and the apartments are really lovely and well catered, but I'm glad I wasn't in Port Elizabeth for more than one night.
If my review were for the apartments alone, I would give them 4*. If you have to stay in Port Elizabeth then I would recommend 10 on Cape
