I can't say less about our stay it was amaxing. The place is clean and neat and comfortable. Our room was very small but nice and clean and it was a double bed I think it will be more convincing if you can get a small bar fridge in your rooms. Another thing there was no water for us to make tea. The only option was to tap at the toilet so we chose not. Atleast have 1 litre of still water for your guests to make tea or coffee. Unfortunately for me I did not take pictures.

We use this hotel as a stopover when we fly in to Durban from Australia. It is cheap and the facilities are good value lfor money. Only annoyance is there was only one person checking in at close to 11pm. They also ran out of the excellent underground parking spots. We parked in the adjacent mall parking but the entrance from the rear was not monitored and we had to walk around. Service however was friendly and room was clean and tidy.

Overall experience

We had an amazing time with my family. The rooms were clean. The staff members were amazing and very welcoming. I am humbled with the kind of service I received, my grandparents were happy and relaxed. The breakfast was nice and well prepared. Thank you to the ladies at the reception, the restaurant staff as well as the cleaning staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️
