This is an amazing hotel, my husband and I always stay here after we’ve landed in Durban to relax. We especially love the beds and pillows, very comfortable.

It was a last minute reservation for our anniversary and was very nice and comfortable for short notice at 10:45pm arrival. We stayed here 18 months ago when we first came to South Africa. I recommend this hotel for stays. USA couple.

On a business trip to South Africa, this hotel was clean, hygienic, and offered great value for money. The service was excellent, and I really appreciated the thoughtful separation of non-smoking and smoking rooms.
