Detailed Reviews
The rooms are a comfortable size. The bed and linen was to my expectations. I loved the bathroom. I also loved that there is a fridge in the room. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The only thing I did not like is that they do not offer the discount to reward members when ordering room service.

My family and I recently went to breakfast at Garden Court Mthatha, where I have not been since their recent upgrade. The renovation has been worth the wait, the food was stunning, with variety for everyone, I was very impressed that they actually catered for vegetarian in my family by having 10 plus items for them to choose from. Due to inclement weather on that day we could not sit outside in the wonderfully maintained garden, or sit by the pool, on our next visit maybe the weather gods will be nice to us.
All in all, we had a wonderful time.

To me everything in Garden court is perfect. The rooms are great with comfortable beds, showers always clean with their towels. The food is good, I would just applaud to you guys to keep up the good work. Staff members are very welcoming and their service improves each and every day. Even when you call them, they always assist as much as they can so to Garden Court is always the best hotel that I even recommend to my friends and colleagues.

Hi all. Me and my family would like to say thankyou soo much to the Mthatha Garden Court staff. They made our weekend stay so pleasant and effortless. Your smiles truly go a long way,just so you know. I have a very big family and had booked 3 family rooms, but all that running after my kids was made easy by your staff. Please talk to that lady that serves breakfast...She was so unpleasant to us ,the kids and other guests were also complaining about her attitude.
I would also like to commend your Security Services from Starlight Security, as they were soo helpful in helping us with our trailer,even when it was pouring, they did it with a smile. All in all,keep up the good work at Mthatha Garden Court, we see you!!!!!

This is a pleasant little hotel in the middle of Mthatha. Rooms were extremely clean and spatious. Good service and friendly staff. Reasonable buffet spread for breakfast. Lovely pool and garden area. A good stop along the way to Port Elizabeth.
