Disappointed
Our general feedback would have to be DISAPPOINTED. Check in - (1) On check in, the booking company had our details incorrect (wrong name and wrong gender) We were very disappointed by the lack of maintenance to both the bedroom, and the bathroom. Bedroom - (1) The duvet inner was completely lumpy, as were most of the pillows on the bed. All could do with replacing. (2) There were no net curtains despite the fact that the room faced onto common property. (3) The curtain rings had come away from the curtains in some places. (4) The room had a safe but we were unable to use it as the establishment could not provide us with a key for the safe.(5) The armchair was dirty and a little threadbare. Bathroom - (1) Shower head was loose. (2) The soap dish in the shower was loose, and tilted downwards. (3) The shower door was difficult to close. (4) The tap at the basin was loose. (5) The soap dish at the basin was loose. (6) The toilet seat didn't fit the toilet properly. (7) We had to call for an extra towel on the first evening as there was only one towel provided initially. General - (1) There was a constant unpleasant smell in the room which appeared to emanate from the bathroom. (2) The WiFi only worked intermittently.

Not a great place to stay
Room we stayed in had no aircon as advertised, were promised fans which we never got, room smelt very mouldy. No LED tv as advertised, breakfast was lacking variety. Rooms were cleaned very late in the day which was inconvenient and towels were only changed after 3 days. Would not advise anyone to stay here. I will not stay here again.

Convenient, Comfortable, Affordable Accomodation
Our booking was not recorded on arrival but we were never the less accommodated. The room was simple, clean, comfortable and great for an overnight stay in a convenient location. The BnB was safe n secure with a lovely indoor pool and braai area.

Not worth the stay
I wouldn't recommend this B&B to anyone. The owner made our stay one of the worst ever. The shower would flood whever you used it. There was banging doors at all hours. The room wasn't clean. No air conditioning and the manager was very unpleasant. Terrible stay

Not even for free it's worth the stay
We travelled from a long way to get to PE and have to face all the disappointments that we had to face with the owner and staff of this hotel. Through Hotel.com website where I always book my extended stays, we paid our booking for over 6 months prior to our arrival for a 16 day stay and the hotel owner overbooked the rooms for the police department and guess which 2 rooms they needed to kick out? US:( I explained the owner that I was there to complete my Ironman race that takes months of preparation but he did not care at all. The only thing that he was worried about was the extra cash he was getting for a longer stay then ours. We had no choice to move to another of his hotels which is the actual Algoa Bay B&B that appears on the webpage and the Mold in the shower and celling of the bathroom was insane to believe a place like that was open to the public. We checked out the day after my race and they did not refund our money after all the hassle.

ok for a quick stay on a budget
It's ok...but nothing special. Not located in a scenic area, and you have to pay extra to use A/C in your room. There is a plug-in fan, but it has a timer that you have to reset about every 20 minutes, so you can't leave it on through the night. Breakfast was good.
