My family and I spent 3 nights at Hemingways. Friendly Helpful Management and staff went out of their way for us and surprised us with Bubbly, chocolates and fruit and cheese platter for our Wedding Anniversary. The Gym therefore was a necessity! The bedroom was comfortable, linen clean and soft. Restaurant staff went the extra mile to accomodate all requests... More

I spent 3 nights at Hemingways and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The food was really good and the service was excellent. A colleague of mine stayed at a B&B for half the price I paid and when I asked him how he enjoyed his room the answer was "There's a fridge in the room that made a noise all night... More

Hello Paul It is a pity that I have not replied sooner. (There is a comment on here that chills my bones, puts me off logging in.) It was a pleasure having your family here during the holidays. It is great to have positive recognition for our team. So often people only tell you about the negative. We look forward... More

Our stay at Hemingways can be regarded as nothing less than exceptional. In every respect this hotel cannot be faulted and our stay in East London was made very memorable as a result of Hemingways. The staff was fantastic and couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. Breakfasts were a daily treat and were outstanding quality and value for... More

An all round super experience, from the friendly staff to the excellent restaurant. The seafood, squid and lobster especially, was as good as anything we found on the waterfront in Cape Town. More

We were staying here due to our sons wedding being held in East London. Nowhere in any literature about this hotel does it tell you that it is attached to a cinema and shopping mall, hence the lobby of this hotel is used as a walkway from the carparks to the shops. The reception girls are great and helpful -... More
