Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was perfectly situated for easy access to/from Durban airport (max. 15 minutes drive away on nearby N2). Staff were friendly and helpful and check-in/out was easy. Nice (basic) swimming pool which was welcome on a hot & sticky day. Basic food/drinks (snacks) were available and were perfectly acceptable to us. It was very convenient as a transit stop and would be happy to stay again in the location for that reason. There were only a very few minor issues noted - although tea/coffee was available, no water was provided in the room. The air-conditioner was fully functional but deafening! We would recommend for all the positive reasons above and the stay suited our requirements well.

Good place

The place is good, our room had a few finishing/maintenance issues, with a strong smell of cleaning supplies. The hotel staff were friendly, just ensure you take your email through if you have paid. The hotel is close enough to the two malls, but out of the way so you don't have to deal with too much traffic.
