This is a real gem! Fantastic boutique hotel with beautiful rooms that roomy and quiet. All the amenities you could ever need. The breakfast was delicious with lots of options. You really need to stay more than one night to get to see what it has to offer.

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.

Short stay, but a sweet one!
Hotel wasn't busy at all when we stayed, it was only for one night but it is during their winter. Beautiful hotel, we treated ourselves to the presidential suite for our honeymoon but it was very well priced! Staff were great and so accommodating.

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.

Two tides in a storm.
Decor great, location excellent. Excellent service from those who knew what they were doing, Ryan, Thembisa, Ntsika and Nomzamo excelled. The decor can never take away the human touch. Laxy daisy, overfamiliar attitude from some which showed by poor service. Dining room uninviting. Cold atmosphere in the dining room,which overshadowed the great decor. Limited choices and poor layout. The stairs on which the waiters stood made me uncomfortable because it felt like someone was standing over me and couldn't relax. All the waiters were excellent and did their best to give us privacy while eating. Overall excellent hotel and just need to put back the human touch in droves.

Great Hotel!
We had a great stay at this hotel. It is totally unique with lots of personal services available. The food was very good and made to order breakfasts were included. The beach is only a block away.
