I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was awesome, but there were issues with mosquitoes. The service was welcoming and trustworthy, from reception to the cleaners. The location is near the beautiful Durban Harbour and close to amenities, offering convenience. The dining experience had limited options for non-meat eaters. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service.

The hotel room we stayed in was facing the harbour, and it was quite a surprise to find it in bad condition. The service, especially during the day, was the main problem, as it lacked welcoming vibes. The location, although close to the harbor, felt a bit dangerous, but the staff deserves a thank you for their dedication. The dining options were limited and repetitive, not changing much daily.

The hotel had some shortcomings like no fridge causing our food to get spoiled and occasional plug issues in the room, but it was clean and the breakfast was fantastic. On the bright side, our room had a fridge and a microwave, which was convenient, and there was a nice touch with tea offered for visitors in the room.

The hotel offers a mix of convenience and beautiful surroundings. The rooms are impeccably clean with fresh towels daily, but they are on the smaller side. The service has some issues regarding demands for tips and parking concerns. The location is a major plus, being close to essential amenities and the harbor. The dining experience falls short on variety and expectations. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
