It's my first time to Durban on a business trip. The hotel is by the sea and you can see the sea from the balcony. The hotel doesn't have a gym, but you can run, ride a bike, walk your dog on the seaside road at the door. There are also many policemen, so it's relatively safe.

Very average service received. Room service closes at 11pm!!! Why offer it then? At least 2am gives you a chance should you miss the normal restaurants that close at around 11pm. Sad that a simple request for X2 decent size glasses and some ice can't be followed or done at 11:30pm... Instead I received 1 glass and absolutely no mention of the ice... It's the little things that make the stay enjoyable.

Didn’t like the location as it was not in a clean area. The breakfast was ok as there was a variety of dishes to choose from. The room could have been a lot cleaner, the curtains in the room were dirty and needed cleaning. Every time we took a shower there was water all over the floor because it leaked.

My second stay at this hotel, great location close to restaurants and a walk away from the beach. Also close to South Coast ****** and Lalucia Mall (Umhlanga. I enjoy their breakfast, the hotel was nice and clean and my last stay with my family was enjoyable. We enjoyed the skypool on the rooftop.
