I am never suggesting this place to anyone - the service was horrendous and the cleaner was rude to us. We were still using the dirty towels so we couldn't swop them with the clean ones and she refused to give them to us. She clicked her tongue at my friend and walked away screaming her name back at us... More

The room is a fair size with kitchen area. My bath was stained with green mould.... Sleep quality was OK. Breakfast was fair, but the crockery and cutlery was dirty. Staff were friendly. Location was good. Plenty of carparking. The restaurant just next to the hotel was fun and good value. The hotel is not bad value for money. More

Overall it is a nice hotel. The rooms are large and clean. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included and is pretty good. The hotel restaurant is good, but not great. Location is great. Beautiful view from my room of the Indian Ocean, and only a 40 minute walk to the beach. Easy transport to and... More

This hotel is nothing special but is reasonable as a business hotel with some nice spa facilities. The food is plentiful and reasonable quality. Overall nothing special but I will use again. More

This is a good property, far from the centre of Durban, modern and essentially fit for purpose if you are attending a conference or similar event in it. Be aware that a) during the winter months there is no heating - the rooms are cold (fortunately there are extra blankets) b) during my stay only one elevator worked and took... More
