Breakfast was incredible. Staff were also super friendly and well trained. Gym and pool are very nice too. Room wasn’t the best, cheap noisy fridge, light switches in strange places.

Best Staff I've ever encountered!

I do a fair amount of travel - I truly think this property has the warmest & most hospitable staff I've ever met... Truly, each & every person I saw, passed, talked to, made an inquiry with, each was so wonderful - it really added to my experience. Being across from the Mall was great - I was able to pop over there for a mani/pedi, as well as for items at the pharmacy & grocery. Easy to Uber from there to anywhere. Felt safe & taken care of, which is always a extra important to me since I travel solo. The bar was great - fabulous bartenders & bar managers - & there was always great music playing, whether over sound system, live performers, or DJ. I could not have made a better selection for my stay in Durban!
