Perfect stay at MyPond
Pros:

recently stayed at My Pond Hotel in Port Alfred and wow, what a great experience! The room was super neat, clean, and spacious, and had all the amenities you could need. Plus, it overlooked this lovely canal, which made for a pretty awesome view. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was on point. Another big plus: the hotel’s in a great spot, easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and malls. Definitely recommend!”

Cons:

nothing to complain about, the family and I had a good experience

Pros:

Great location. Comfortable beds after a long drive.

Cons:

Patrons were very noisy. Despite the comfortable bed, we barely slept with the passage chatter & partying which were in the early hours of the morning. Management needs better control over guest conduct.

Breakfast is great, i love the courtesy call you get when you run late. Each and every stuff member is welcoming and kin
Pros:

The property is clean and safe, it’s easy to locate as well, we did not get lost at all. Everything is well maintained and looks well kept.

Cons:

Nothing of significance, except it seems like the tv is not a smart tv. we could not access netflix and youtube but also we kept forgetting to ask about it so it could be that they work too.
