I arrived at the hotel and my skin was itching as I entered the lobby. It is not clean. I was charged an extra 10% for parking and told to move my car from the slot I had used as it belonged to another guest. Who does that? Moreover, the lifts were not working whereas my room was on the... More

The best example of just how bad this is, was the hotel manager telling us that they were not really interested in what we thought, as their target market is school kids visiting Durban. The place is really, really dirty. The bathrooms are unclean, there were cigarette stubs everywhere, kids running up and down stars and corridors, the lifts were... More

Please don't even consider staying here! The SMELL was horrifying. Grime can hide from the eyes but not from the nose!!! The area is dodgy and rundown. Not safe to walk around at all. The pavements outside were crawling with crowds of howling people. The hotel is badly run down and needs a major overhaul. In fact to get rid... More

Nice position on the seafront, good breakfast with quite an ample choice, friendly and helpful staff, spacious rooms, very affordable. The down side is that the rooms are very basic, would need quite a lot of maintenance and most important, not very clean. The towels and sheets we were given were dirty, bed cover also had seen better days....

The hotel staff was unfriendly especially the porters. The area is very unsafe, very dodge characters around- you couldn't just walk accross the road to the beach. The bathroom was in a terrible state! White shower curtains were turning cream and had stains on it. The bedroom had a strong damp smell and bedding had a lot of fluffs which... More

We were charged more than quote, but we had to pay as we are from Cape Town and didn't have other accomodation. We had to pay extra for parking; was so bad you can hardly reverse in the parking area (in the basement). When we arrived back the evening, our paid, allocated parking bay was taken. When we queried this,... More

The hotel is very, very old and unclean. Breakfast not very good, internet ridiculously expensive. Close to the beach but the neighborhood is dangerous, ugly and there are people yelling in the streets at all hours of the night and early morning. Rooms for more than one person are very large, which is nice.
