The hotel is average. Rooms are big enough and there are kitchen facility but AC very old and very noisy. You can not sleep well. On the other hand, hotel location is great. Plenty of bars, pubs, shops near by. Also you can reach the ocean beach by 10 minutes walk. Internet facility is limited, every day you have right... More

Stayed at the hotel for ten days. Enjoyed each and every day I stayed at the hotel. The hotel has partial sea views and is a block away from the beach. The customer service is excellent and breakfast is great. There is a lot of restaurants near the hotel and the Gateway Mall is just above a kilometer away. The... More

It was literally an overnight stay, but although we had booked 6 months before, we were told a doubled-bedded room was not available. We stood our ground and after about 15 minutes of... More

After staying at various guest houses during our honeymoon we found this hotel a little disappointing. The rooms were big but we were onthe 8th floor and it was hot and the sir con didn't work properly so we had to resort to opening the window for air. More

Hotel is centrally located in Umhlanga village amongst shops and reasturants and a few minutes stroll to the beach. The rooms are large and clean with a small kitchenette. The staff are friendly, polite and efficient. The only disappointment is the roof top gold fish bowl that doubles as a swimming (splash) pool. It is extremely small for a hotel... More

Apart from the know nothing service, we were put in a twin room despite saying we wanted a double. We got moved after a farce then we tried having a shower and a bath. To cut a long story short it seems each room only has 100 litre hit water tank. So max 5 mins in shower (that's two times... More
