We stayed here for a night as we went to watch a Durban sharks rugby match . Lovely staff, always helpful , especially as we are from the UK and had never visited Durban before. Organised taxis for us and told us where the best tourist sights were.

Not travelling as much for business as I once did, it has been about 4 years since I last stayed here and a lot can change in that space of time. I was pleasantly surprised to experience the same top service, friendly staff. The location is excellent with a number of good restaurants and bars located within a few minutes... More

Excellent value for money! Friendly staff, nice rooms, good breakfast and safe as they come. Serves as a peaceful retreat away from the buzzling Florida Street night life...but if you want some fun, it's right outside the door! Business or leisure, this is the one to stay at!

Stayed for a few nights at the beginning of this year. Great location with restaurants and a "night club" nearby; great place--had a room overlooking the pool; outstanding breakfasts; and extremely friendly and helpful staff across the board!

Stayed here on 31 December 2012, and was really pleasantly suprised - having spent years living in Durban literally down the road, I never knew this place existed! Great location on Florida Road if you're spending some time in Durban, room was lovely and comfortable. Staff were very friendly as well. We booked literally on the 31 December, and the... More

Our room open to he 8th street. It was quite big with two steps, leading to a bigger living room. A small bathroom with a much to loud AC and a far to short shower curtain. The floor of the room, a carpet was ugly, dirty and had a very used look, so we have a negative point here. Top... More
