Other than getting a totally different room than what we had booked, it was a nice and clean accommodation. Our room issue was eventually resolved, and we were satisfied with the prompt and courteous attention by staff. Breakfast was nice- no complaints. Lovely location close to good restaurants.

Very disappointing stay
I wonder if there are two sides to Brookes Hill Suites; one more modern and one old and dilapidated. Nothing else could explain the discrepancy between what I had read and what we experienced. Despite a confirmation from our online booking service, the Reception had no record of our booking. Our room was old and the kettle did not work. The door showed evidence of having been forced open. This was not a happy overnight stay. The redeeming factor was being able to walk to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Brooks Hill Suites - excellent 3 star
For a three star hotel, you cannot get any better. The resort is not new but it is maintained, clean and off a good standard. Staff were friendly, view from the room was great and location made it a prime choice.

Brooke's Hill
Staff very friendly, however no lift, room very clean, we had an excellent sea view. Ideal for short or long stays. Would prefer a flatsheet as duvet is too hot in summer and teperature with aircon might need a light covering. Noisy if you forget the windows open. Windows soundproof. Room had a balcony.

A clean and acceptable suite with a kitchenette although no washing up liquid was provided. The room did the job although the WiFi we were promised did not work for our entire stay despite numerous attempts by reception to reset the router.

Quick stop over
We used this as a stop over after the over night flight before heading off to safari/the garden route and being only a 10 min drive from the airport it was ideal for that purpose. It was clean, comfortable and good value. The breakfast was also good. There are a few restaurants next door and a nice beach side cafe a shot walk away.

Brookes Hill Suites: No thanks
The hotel bedrooms were looking very tired, with some internal walls in cupboards loose. No kettle in the room and we asked reception three times for a kettle. The breakfast room was badly laid out and at least one of the female waitresses was very very slow, to offer coffee, clean dirty tables or even appear to care about anything Breakfast quality was basic, with little quality or variety The evening reception staff could benefit from a charm school class as I asked at 21:45 one evening if there was a bar open in the hotel and was told:- “its shut, closes at 22:00 but as it was empty closed it” turn and walk away

Relaxing on the shore
While we stayed at Brooks Hill Suites we were surrounded by pleasant, helpful staff. We found the rooms clean and comfortable. The view was amazing. We were walking distance from a lot of the major attractions in that area.

My PE Travel
Upon arrival, the room I was assigned had been burglarized. The TV was an old fashion type (not as advertised). Very few channels to be international. The dinning facility was not the cleanest, as the cook looked dirty and touched everything with his bare hands regardless where he had just came from or touching.

Room for improvement
The aircon didn't work properly which meant pretty much a sleepless night. When I mentioned that on checkout (only stayed for one night) all we got was Sorry. Apart from that reception staff were sufficiently helpful. The hot water was luke warm. Just about Ok for a night stopover.

A mazing Hotel, good location and security
Difficult to find your room or reception or the breafast room due to poor signing. A bit like going around a maze without help! Breakfast verry poor.

Great location but dirty rooms
Great location and wonderful views towards the ocean from our room. However, we had to change our room twice due to its unclean look. The towels, sheets carpet and sofas had stains in all three of them. The day staff was helpful, however the evening staff on duty, as well as the breakfast attendants did not seem to care or know much. The hotel has beautiful landscaping and a pretty nice pool.

Brookes Hill Suites
The location is central. The hotel is average. Found the not much variety for breakfast buffet. Did not have any vegetarian options or seperated the meat from the eggs. The reception staff were friendly. As we had a rental car we found that we struggle to find parking.

Standard place
There is nothing special about the hotel and room - it is kind of standard tourist hotel. Nice for a stop on the way further. Swimming pool with ocean view is nice, but this is probably the only attraction. Guarded parking is provided - an extra necessity for people driving in SA.

Brookes Hill Suites In Port Elizabeth (SA)
Brookes Hill Suites in PE is a convenient place to stay because it is close to the airport and close to the beach. There are several restaurants and bars around. Other than that, the place is not very special

Pass by
The only positive about the hotel is its location near the airport. At check in there is nobody to bring luggage to the room. All adapters for power plugs were off. For the wireless LAN you have to buy vouchers, but I couldnt log in. I tried with 3 devices. No chance to connect. Finally i took the WLan from the neighbour hotel and paid by credit card. Slow, but at least it worked. At 10.02 pm we wanted to buy a wine. I was told the bar closed at 10 and it is a famliy hotel. I said that this is a weird explanation, so I was told that it is Sunday and people in SA dont drink on Sundays. Hm, that was a much better explanation. Ah, if you think I could have gone with the mini bar. There is only an empty fridge. Rooms are ok but not worth the price. It was my worst stay in 15 days of SA. The only positive was the guy next morning at the front desk who realized that the other guy who checked us in and had the great explanations about wine selling, double charged us. He was very clever and friendly. Chapeau for that. He should switch to a better Hotel. MS

Lovely hotel, certain staff members not too good.
This hotel was absolutely lovely, our room perfect. The only thing that didn't help was that staff seemed uninterested in the guests. On arrival especially we were made to feel like a burden as there had been a mix-up with our arrival date, which had not been our mistake. But other than that, I would recommend it.

Brookes Hill Suites - A Fantastic Place to Stay in Port Elizabeth
We totally enjoyed our stay at the Brookes Hill Suites in Port Elizabeth. The room was spacious and well furnished. Our room overlooked the pool and ocean and was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend it when visiting port Elizabeth.

Luxury on a shoestring
Coming from the UK, everything in South Africa seems very reasonably priced, but the quality of the suites at Brookes Hill was just exceptional for the price. The setting, view, location and presentation are first class. The welcome, service and general demeanour of the staff added further to a superb stay, and the restaurant and bar were presented and staffed to the same high standard.

God beliggenhed og dejlige værelser med altan
Vi havde blot en overnatning - men var fuld ud tilfredse. Lidt ældre hotel, men stadig en god oplevelse, der var rent og service i receptionen var i top. Ligger lige ved stranden og alle restauranterne, samt stadig tæt på lufthavnen. Så kun smileys fra os ;o)
