Although the hotel is a bit old, the facilities are good, the rooms are not small, and it is located next to the shopping mall, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. The breakfast is also very good. Parking is also very convenient, and there are staff to watch the car.

Very nice room, with a very varied buffet breakfast. We didn't get to enjoy the pool, but the outdoor area was nice. Very convenient for a late arrival in the Durban area.
