Haseeb (5/5): -
Abongile (8/5): -
Asanda (4/5): Not bad - Easy access to the mall. Lifts have no ventilation or airway one morning i was using stairs from first floor to the firth floor because of the unpleasant fart🤢🤮 smell it had.
ziyanda (10/5): Defiantly coming back!!! - The rooms are very neat and cosy😊 closer to the mall, am definitely referring frends. It was a short stay for a night. Room was a bit smaller for a family of four, but other than that the comfort was there.
Ineke (9/5): Was suitable and neat. - Breakfast was good. Met all the requirements. Setting was fair. Room was clean and neat. Staff was great and assisted where necessary. Near restaurants and shop. Room was a bit small.
Claire (8/5): Great stay. -
Xolisa (8/5): -
MJ (10/5): We will definitely come back for our next visit to the city - Everything about it. Beautiful place with the best location for our needs. Nothing to tell
Viva (10/5): A home away from home - Every time we stay at Hemingways , it is like visiting an old friend. The welcome is always warm and it’s lovely to see the same smiley faces 3 years on. The room we had was very spacious yet cosy - with great views. I love the proximity to the mall - reachable without exposure to the elements. This time we also used the gym. Compact but with everything you need. Thanks Hemingways for another lovely stay. Nothing
Viva (10/5): Home away from home. - See my previous review . In short - fabulous in every way.
Heinz (9/5): -
Jeremy (7/5): -
Heather (4/5): Reception staff were rude and unhelpful. Restuarant staff were very friendly and nice but poorly trained - A lovely old building. Restuarant views Most rooms are smoking and when I asked to change I got told that the small number of non- smoking rooms were taken
Victoria (8/5): Convenient for a quick overnight stay. - Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and good for a quick overnight stay just off the N2. They were painting and doing maintenance down the passages and outside the rooms so it was a bit dirty and not very neat. Passageways smelt like smoke.
Dee-Ann (9/5): Staff is really outstanding and so accommodating. Went out of their way to make our stay great! - Staff is amazing Location is perfect, with the mall next to hotel makes things so convenient. Food, breakfast was very basic, but the little there was on offer is good Dinner menus is limited
Seipati (10/5): - The hotel was certainly special because of its unique location, it would be a great injustice if I don’t mention about the exceptional customer service of the hotel staffs who treated us like their own family In the room, between toilet & shower there is a drainage on the floor and it smell bad.
Tania (9/5): Excellent service - The staff were attentive and friendly going above and beyond for us. The facilities are a bit tired and worn
bukelwa (10/5): -
Lindi (10/5): - Our recent stay at Hemingways Hotel during the SA Regional Level 3 Swimming Champs was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless, comfortable, and welcoming exactly what we needed during such a busy and exciting time. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. After long days at the pool, it was such a pleasure to come back and relax in such a lovely environment. A huge bonus for us was the direct connection to Hemingways Mall. We were pleasantly surprised that we didn’t have to go anywhere we could simply walk straight from the hotel into the mall. It made meals, shopping, and everything in between so convenient and stress-free. Breakfast and dinner were absolutely exceptional,delicious, well-prepared, and with a great variety to choose from. It truly added to the overall experience. We truly had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting East London whether for events, competitions, or just a relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!
Michelle (10/5): - Clean rooms, friendly staff and close to amenities we attended.
Kelsea (7/5): - Being near the mall for ease of shopping The parking was safe The rooms were ok The cleaning staff were friendly and helpful. The reception staff were unproffessional and not welcomming. Terrible way to start a holiday. The room service took 1+hour and the salads were not good.

Kanya (4/5): - The staff was friendly and helpful. Food was nice. The mall is very convenient too, we loved that. The facilities need some work, looked old. The "family room" we got was very small, could not fit our 3-cabin luggage bags. We were very disappointed to say the least.

Mthunzi Khanya (7/5): Could have been better - I have stayed there a couple of times before, it’s a lovely hotel My room had a cigar stench and the pool was dirty
Gcobisa (8/5): it was ok - Breakfast shower is small an tv is old and the channels are very limited
Willy (8/5): Gute Zwischenhalts Unterkunft im 4-Sterne Bereich auf der Durchreise. - Ein ordentliches Hotel fair gepflegt, jedoch bedarf es an gewissen Unterhalts-Arbeiten. (z. B. unsere Zimmertüre zu öffnen war ein Kraftakt und für eine zierliche Frau fast nicht möglich. Dieser Zustand muss schon seit einiger Zeit vorhanden gewesen sein. Falls die Gäste nicht reklamiert haben (wie wir) muss das Reinigungs-Personal das bemerkt haben). Siehe oben

Tukela (5/5): -
Ashyana (8/5): Comfortable but dated - Hemmingways Hotel offers good facilities, though the rooms are a bit dated and could use an upgrade. The biggest issue was that the aircon in our room didn’t work, but the staff genuinely tried tirelessly to sort out the heat and were consistently pleasant and helpful throughout our stay. Despite the hiccup, it was a comfortable and enjoyable visit overall. The aircons not working was the biggest issue, especially in the peak of summer.
Betela (7/5): -
Johan (1/5): - We were not informed when we did the booking nor on our arrival that they had a water crises and water is cut off during our stay. We used the toilet and could not flush for 4 hours. The shower water is brown, dirty and smelling. They don't place drinking water in roof and expect you use the dirty water coming out of the tap to make tea or coffee.
Ziyanda (8/5): I enjoyed my stay and will be visiting again soon. - The fact that the room was very neat.
