“lovely hotel”
A very nice hotel on the beach front . The staff are extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble . Will be going back next year
“Nice Place”
Nice place but hotel is too old but on the other hand service is really good. Location is very nice just opposite to beach but you cant go out on the beach at night. The area is dangerous
“Bit tired but OK.”
This hotel is a bit tired but there really aren't too many other choices in Durban. If you have to stay in Durban then this hotel is situated on the beachfront which sounds great except it's dangerous to venture out at night time. It is close to a Moyo restaurant & the aquarium. If you want a really nice place to stay drive north 25 minutes & stay in Umhlanga.
“Not luxurious but OK overall”
The hotel is conveniently located right on the beach road, but otherwise it's in a not especially charming part of the city. At night the area is a bit dodgy and it's not the place to go if you're looking for great amenities or some place to relax after a long day of sight-seeing, etc. The hotel itself is secure and well-kept, and the complimentary breakfast is good.
“Great Breakfast!”
The hotel was mediocore in style and amenities (i.e. washcloths were not available). However, the daily breakfast buffet was excellent and included in the room rate. I would stay again.
“Not 4 star”
This hotel is very dated. Service was good. But rooms are 50 years old. Old carpets, old furniture, old TV, old bed and linen, old A/C. Not even double glazed, so all the traffic keeps you awake during the night. Certainly 4 star in 1950, but not 2006. Needs a complete refurb. Not worth the price. Many better hotels at the same price around.
“Okay for the Price -There`s worse in Durban.”
I have stayed before at the hotel ,but noticed that this time standards have been lower.The shower was a mess -it leaked over onto the floor ,everytime we used it, and after a few minutes most of the bathroom floor was flooded.We complained but because it was not a plumbing cause , they said to use extra towels ,on the floor ,to absorb the water! Staff are friendly .Breakfast and the restaurant (with friendly staff) remain the hotel`s assests.The rest need an upgrade.Parking is inadequate ,even though you pay additionally for parking.The car park is small so your vehicle is taken and parked elsewhere ,in another car park.When we returned to the hotel ,in the evenings , we still had to sort out the parking.
