Reviews and Ratings
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations with its stunning decor and art. It was a fantastic start to our garden route adventure, being just a short distance from the airport and a pleasant stroll to the seafront. While I couldn't rate it a perfect 10 due to the slightly noisy dining experience, overall, the ambiance and remarkable service made it a memorable stay.
The hotel has some great art work and a lovely atmosphere, but our check-in experience was less than ideal, as we had issues with our room and the check-in process. While the dining was enjoyable, the same menu every day made options feel limited. Overall, there were some nice aspects, but certainly room for improvement.
I had a delightful stay at this hidden hotel that exudes charm and character. The decor is fantastic, reminiscent of Art Deco elegance, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. While the dining options were somewhat limited and didn't quite match my taste, the breakfast was excellent. The service was truly attentive and added to the overall experience. I found it to be a great value for the quality provided.
My stay at No5 by Mantis was absolutely incredible! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was in a world-class boutique hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, providing every comfort I could ask for. While the dining options were good, they could be slightly improved. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Overall, it set a high bar for the rest of my travels in South Africa.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel, blending art deco charm with luxury. The hospitality was extraordinary, and I felt incredibly welcomed. However, the rooms, while spacious and elegantly designed, showed slight signs of age. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and the wonderful atmosphere of the hotel.
