It was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful clean and neat
Delicious breakfast. Staff are extremely friendly and really very helpful. Musa was great. Can definitely recommend staying there.
Proximity to the beach, did a lot of complimentary specials for Comrades participants. Fantastic breakfast options. Staff were polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend the hotel
Really value for money. Everything works. Staff was great. Breakfast very good. Easy to get an Uber. Beach view room was very nice...to have an smart TV in the room witn some european chanels should be great
The hotel was really nice. The staff did help us in many areas but even though they lived in Durban their knowledge was fairly limited about the area. All we were told was not to go out at night as it was not safe for white people. Even during the day do not wear a watch or show your phone. When I asked about groceries or getting a sim card they didn'r really know where I should go. Eventually a porter told me the best place to go which was only a 5 minute walk. The restaurant and staff in there were superb. The meals were excellent. And the prices were so cheap compared to the UK.
Service is excellent, hotel is aged but good value for money
Don’t look safe to walk outside at nights
Use hotel transport preferably
Would probably book hotels a bit north of this hotel next time
The customer service was very disappointing, it did not seem like people cared or were keen about meeting our needs as customers of the hotel. Maybe a refresher course would be beneficial.
I would like to commend the quality of the food as well as the service of the chefs, no issues there and great customer service from the team that were making our breakfast and how they deal with us as customers. The rest of the hotel employees can learn a thing or two from them.
The cleanliness is also on point and commendable.
If there are many people or peak periods, maybe the number of employees should be increased to accommodate the increase in demand as that directly affects the service levels.
Lastly, maybe alternative power during load shedding is an option to consider too?
Me surpreendeu o conforto decoração atendimento nota 10, principalmente do bartender Sanele que percebendo que estávamos bom tosse preparou um chá especial. O café da manhã é perfeito e completo, o restaurante fornece refeições deliciosas principalmente as pizzas. E fica a beira mar.

Property is well located with friendly staff. Parking is an issue although theres overflow parking as a female walking in the middle of the night to where parking is back to the hotel is not really safe. The place needs to be disinfected there were quite a lot of unfriendly creatures crawling in the hallways.
