    Dangerous to walk outside. Someone got robbed right in front and we heard gunshots and noisy cars racing in the middle of the night. Our door keys stopped working on the second day, had to wait 45 minutes to get it sorted out to get into our room. Pity no Netflix.

    Comfy bed, lovely view. Buffet was great.

    The rooms, although tidy, clean and functional, are probably due for a bit of an update.

    Rooms squeaky clean, staff super helpful and the breakfast is absolutely amazing!

    Having to wait for the iron for almost one hour is just too bad for your business. Please consider having irons in each room to avoid inconveniencing your guests, sure that's way cheaper than TV's. Other than that I was happy with the services.

    The location is perfect with sea view. Breakfast was good but it will be excellent if the menu is changed daily. Most attractions, including Moses Mabida stadium, are just around the corner. I will sure revisit.

    When booking I did not get the option for parking so I assumed parking is already included. However, when checking in they offered me parking at an additional cost. This was disappointing but I opted for parking because I wanted my car to be safe, only to find out the parking spaces are full. This was a let down.

    It had a great view of the ocean and the staff was very friendly and ready to help

    I didn't like the food from the grill restaurant. The meat was burnt and we couldn't eat it. I think they can do more. The waiter was the best, Dave. He deserves a bonus

    The reception service was fast even though it was a busy weekend.
