What guests think

Across many reviews, Road Lodge Port Elizabeth Airport is praised for its unbeatable location steps from the terminal and car rentals, making it an easy overnight for early flights, with generally clean, functional rooms and friendly, helpful staff.

Rooms are small and basic, and several guests reported weak or missing air conditioning and occasional noise from the airport or reception. The on-site dining is considered acceptable to good, with breakfast often described as simple, and the building lacks a lift, which can be challenging with bags. Overall, it suits short, no-frills stays focused on airport convenience and value.

I was very happy with my short overnight stay. It was perfect for what I needed, and very convenient being in walking distance, with easy and quick access, to the aiport. Nice pool and outdoor area and the room was clean and comfortable, with tea and coffee making facilities. The best part and what I was most impressed with was the eco-friendly nature of the hotel, with minimal plastic packaging and eco friendly soap bars, among other things. They are also making a good effort to minimise water usage in the drought. Please keep up the good work :)

A small, clean and tidy hotel well located for the airport. A manageable walk but a little tricky with a lot of bags and there is no lift. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Room is small and basic but clean and well presented. Would stay again.

Could not find a lift, had to carry bags upstairs ourselves (2 pensioners). Very hot and aircon not working. Very noisy which we understood being close to airport, had to keep window open due to aircon not working. Mosquitos enjoyed the open window. Staff were fantastic at reception, restaurant great

Hotellet låg med perfekt avstånd till flygplatsen. Det fanns bagagevagnar på hotellet så man kunde lasta på bagaget utanför sitt rum och sedan rulla hela vägen till incheckningsdisken. Gåvägen till flygplatsen var ca 2 min. Vi hade hyrt bil och biluthyrningsfirmorna låg precis på parkeringen mellan hotell och flygplats så vi lämnade in bilen kvällen innan i stället och gick direkt till flygplatsen tidigt på morgonen. Vi fick ett rum precis vid receptionen och det hördes väl genom dörren när folk stod och checkade in. Fick säga till dem i receptionen att stänga av musiken i högtalarna så vi kunde sova men de stängde av utan problem. Vi hade ingen frukost så vet inte hur den är. Sängarna var tyvärr väldigt hårda så tur att det bara var en kort natt vi sov där. Ganska tråkigt ljus på toaletten men som sagt, vi var där bara över natten.

Liked: Location next to airport and car rental agencies. Nostalgia - been going to this chain since young. Disliked: Second room had mouldy smell - the odour you get from a cloth/mop that hasn't been washed properly. Was also promised I'd get to keep my first room from the Agoda booking. Had to switch over to a room minutes before having to leave to a wedding - the soul reason I was in PE. Garden view was nice for a change in this second room. Again, very nostalgic. Extreme noise for hours AFTER the rugby match was being watched by the public dining area - a staff member and what appeared to be their friends. During the rugby game is acceptable.

Clean hotel with friendly staff. The Resurant has a fair selection of food and beverages. Aircons could be colder, room was extremely hot during the evening and because it’s next door to the airport you really don’t want to open the window and let the noise in.

Overall nice. Just that receptionists stinky attitude up on arrival. We approach the reception with a lot of luggage and al she brought over her lips: How can I help you? What a miserable welcoming, then giving us the wrong room category, luckily I have done her job and double checked my booking. Its just so frustrating. Everything is there in South Africa, but nothing really works.. Other than that they stay was fair and enjoyable.

Here’s a polished rephrased version: I was initially skeptical because it was more affordable, but it completely exceeded my expectations far better than the place I booked before moving here. It was also very convenient, as I could simply walk into the airport. The staff were very helpful. However, they should consider adding a toilet brush for guests’ convenience.
