What guests think

At Town Lodge Gqeberha, guests often highlight the beachfront setting near the Boardwalk and airport, consistently friendly staff, and generally clean, comfortable rooms, with several noting sea views and convenient on-site dining for breakfast and meals.

Some reviews mention noise from other guests and thin walls; there are also isolated notes about weak Wi‑Fi, the lack of an elevator, or inconvenient parking. Room experiences vary a bit, with isolated comments about smaller spaces, maintenance lapses like dirty windows, or early housekeeping knocks. A solid choice for short, uncomplicated stays.

It is a very basic hotel with no elevator to the floors. One floor is smoking, which seeps into other areas. The first room had a cockroach on the bed the moment I walked in. I received a new room immediately. it was comfortable. the parking is a bit inconvenient. the gym is pathetic and mostly dysfunctional. the other guests were very noisy and it made sleeping difficult. I would not stay there again. there was no teapot, but i received one from the kitchen. the wifi was very weak in my room.

I understand that CLHG has become a non-smoking group. BUT, There are two things I cannot understand: 1. I cannot even go outside to the pool area, which is open air (but closed for renovations right now) and sit there and have a cigarette and relax after a long day. I need to go to the parking lot to have a cigarette there. Are smokers treated as second class citizens now? Should establishments like this not cater for EVERYONE? 2. Ok, so now the weirdest of all. If you get a sea facing room on the ground level, you open your sliding door onto your "balcony". there is a table there, with a "wait for it" ASHTRAY on the table. But I am told you are not allowed to smoke there either.........???????? Why then have an ashtray on the table right outside your sliding door? Does beg the questions, Does CLHG, particularly Town Lodge PE actually cater for all their customers and do they actually know what they are doing when it comes to "rules"? And lastly, even though I am a smoker, my money is the same colour and value as a non-smoker/ I probably will set a rule at our company that NONE of my people (and we travel a lot) use any of the CLHG group of hotels anymore. Come on CLHG - do you not know that there are dozens competitors in the hospitality industry that we can stay at in every town/city in SA. Oh and by the way, I do not eat breakfast there. The cost of their breakfasts is extortionate.

All very good, except their windows were rather dirty. On the second floor, there’s a balcony, so it’s easier to clean the windows then elsewhere.

Although not, five star, the property has everything you might need to be comfortable and is very clean. The restaurant Has a lovely menu and breakfast in the morning. Best of all the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I love the fact that it is right across from the waterfront, nice for walking and even swimming if you care to.

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Hotel, nur durch eine Straße vom Strand getrennt. Überaus freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, dass sofort bereit war, Lebensmittel von uns kühl stellen zu lassen, da die Zimmer nicht mit Kühlschränken ausgestattet sind. Wir waren (leider) nur eine Nacht dort. Das Hotel ist jedoch auch für längere Aufenthalte bestens geeignet.

The property was great actually. Staff was friendly, food was delicious (the biltong was my favorite). The room was a lot smaller than I expected, and a couple of things that are normal in American hotels were not present here (I really needed an iron). Otherwise, would absolutely hang out there again. Location was right in the middle of everything.
