The location is in the center of the city, close to the city center. The staff is fantastic! Thank you for the excellent visit! Regards Victory. I remained here for nine nights while a friend went cricket.

The service at Island Vibe Harbor Master is very good. The place is beautiful and clean and the staff is very professional. The room was beautiful and the shower was great. Samantha is a great manager and very hands on.

I would definitely stay here again! Despite being somewhat distant from the beach in Humewood 3. 3 a.m., it is located near the bus station and the center of Port Elizabeth. In addition, in a peaceful residential neighborhood next to the historic Fort Frederick, with a view of the harbour. An impressive hotel with a balcony and common areas where you may work or unwind. Good amenities such as hot showers and wifi. The kitchens are functional. The hotel is well-secured. The area is kept spotless. The employees are courteous. There is no wifi in the rooms, but there is a good signal in the large areas close to the front desk. Security in the area surrounding the hotel is problematic, especially after dark, as in other south african cities.

This place was amazing. This place is a typical old British house. I landed there two days before last christmas. I inquired about the location one christmas morning and was informed that the city's main street and other stores were close by. I found this to be the most unwelcoming place ever, and when I went down to the main street, there was a gang hanging out, and I almost had to get robbed on western road. I told the house employees about this, but they were stupefied, so I couldn't go anywhere without using an Uber. Security officers who were outside a locked hotel informed me that I was staying in a dangerous area, as well. I spent the next day at the beach, which seemed safe, but I wouldn't stay there again for that reason. I posted this comment on Facebook, and it was removed by the management, and I received some massages back on Fi in defense, where they try to hide the truth which future travelers should be aware of.
