The location of the hotel is great since the beach is your footstep. Great for the beach experience.

The staff at the restaurant and hotel were very friendly which made the stay very... More

We stayed over at the SS North Beach the night before our boat trip and also the night upon our return. I have to commend Southern Sun on running a great Hotel. From check-in to departure, the staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The rooms are spacious and I believe the bathrooms are being upgraded during early 2012. Long overdue... More

This is an old building and it shows. Plumbing is bad, makes all sorts of noises when in use, and creaky groaning plumbing sounds can be heard from neighboring rooms all the time when you are in your room.

I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights - conferenec at the Elangeni next door. I have stayed a couple of times since 2006 and the hote never disappoints. Staff are EXTREMELY friendly & helpful, breakfast is decent and the beds offer a good night's rest. While the decor can do with an upgrade, there is little to fault this... More

The staff are friendly and effeficient. Excellent location. Decor is outdated, carpets are worn out and it seems the hotel hasn't been revamped since the 1980's. The room service menu is a bit thin. The elangeni next door offers superior value at a very similiar price More
