Negatives..
Tired hotel, typical of the Durban area unfortunately.
Main pool on the 10th floor was under maintenance so not open. The main reason we booked this hotel!
Constant noise of water flowing through pipes 24 hrs a day. Couldn’t sleep for the two days we stayed
Ground floor bar played the same music all day, very loudly! No tab for drinks meant having to walk around the other side of bar to pay by card for every drink bought.
Positives…
Staff were very good. Couldn’t do enough to help.
The breakfast was very reasonable, considering the amount of guests, although no coffee machine meant waiting ages for hot drinks after ordering.
Evening buffet meal was of a good standard.

Clean and comfortable room. Location great for the beach and nearby facilties like restaurants. Breakfast options were plenty and well catered. Disappointed by early closing of bar services on a Saturday night and insufficient staff during check out.

The Hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming but the bed was bad. It was not comfortable as well as one of the Emperors pillows. You did not give us a teaspoon or anything to assist when pouring sugar to our coffee for stirring

Not sure where to start. Let’s start at the bathroom. I don’t think the toilet has ever seen any bleach. I have used an UV light and the toilet lit up as god was visiting himself. Then the rain shower. Great to see a rain shower but all holes were mostly blocked and the head sprayed upwards to the ceiling more than on the body. Oh we can’t forget the Aircon. It was so noisy next to you, it’s like a 787 taking off. Luckily you can switch it off with a big bang. Oh now to the bed. If you are on the smaller side, you are good. If you are 5ft10 / 179cm, your heels are on the edge of the mattress. I think it’s max 190cm long. With the headboard about 5cm thick, you haven’t got much space to move.
The nice touch was the noisy fridge and the half finished bottle of water. Great.
Hotelbar was rather poor as well. Never did I have to pre-pay for a drink at a hotel bar. Maybe it’s Durban practise? Also they close at 10pm so better hurry up and get some watered down cocktails in.
The view from the room was great and the breakfast good too. Can’t fault the breakfast.
Would I stay here again? Certainly not. This place needs more than a refurbishment. But they had booze and a slushy machine upon checkin. Maybe to soften the blow when you see the room and that hygienic toilet and seat!
