The service was so friendly and accommodating, making me feel truly welcome. The location is perfect, right on the main beach in Durban.

The hotel boasts cosmopolitan and cozy rooms that are always spotless, thanks to the excellent service of our maid, 118. The staff are incredibly helpful and efficient, making sure our halal braai facilities were well taken care of. The perfect location, close to restaurants and the beach, makes it ideal for early bird runners. However, the dining options were limited, and there were some issues with black rasicim in the vicinity.
