    The only issue we had was the food, we ate our first dinner and most of the meat was burnt, we hope the management fixes the issue in the kitchen.

    The room was very spacious and clean, beautifully decorated and furnished. Excellent service and staff.

    Limited parking, but there was a guard 24/7 at the outside parking in front of the hotel. You should leave instructions for guests on how to use the smart tv. Have more soap and toiletries in the bathroom.

    Excellent location! A few steps from the beach. A lovely (basic) restaurant on site. Good value for money, everything we needed for our weekend of cycling. Friendly service.

    I had to pay extra for pretty much everything else i needed, for a coffee mug, for ice etc…i just feel like if they could just add everything as a package and increase the price a bit of course, its gonna be more convenient, because these extra expenses weren’t budgeted for

    Property was very clean

    The family room only had 2 towels (I'm sure if I asked, I would have got extra towels, but expect it to be 4 in a family room). The car park is not undercover, but it is locked.

    The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious, modern, and comfortable. The staff are very helpful as well. Everything was clean.

    The outside looks run down compared to the pictures. I suppose it is the disadvantage of having a beachfront property. The food was average for the prices and I was under the impression breakfast was included when I booked.

    The rooms are neat. The staff were great and friendly.

    When I arrived, the receptionist mentioned that the aircons were not working due to renovation. For me, that's a big red flag because Durban's heat is quite severe. THANKFULLY, for some reason, the aircon in my room was working. So bear in mind for those booking here, your room aircon may not be working and will only be told this upon arrival. When entering the room, i noticed the bathroom also had a cigarette smell in it, considering im a non smoker. The room did not have hangers, I had to leave my shirts on the room chair. Upon arrival I tried to call the kitchen to place an order for somethin. Unfortunately, the room phones were not working because of renovations. I had to use my airtime to call the hotel landline and then transfered to the restaurant. When placing the order to the restaurant I was also told that they charge R15 to bring my meal to my room! 😵 This is the first place that I stayed where they will charge you to bring the meal to you. Apart from this, there are no other issues whatsoever.

    The hotel is about 20 minutes from the airport, so I did not have to travel too far. The hotel looks like it is currently under renovation, so the rooms are all new. The rooms are spacious, and the price was affordable as well.
