    Astonishing and marvellous breakfast to start the day, excellent food. Tidy room with very comfy bed and down pillows. Stunning, excellent location to the inside area near pools to finish eating. And just off the Snell parade, the quiet north beach and most restaurants and bars.

    By and large, it was excellent home base for sightseeing in Durban, had much fun and met very good staff upon the manager. The hotel had an awesome location around 4-6 minutes away by foot from Durban Icc. Plus, it was very close to Moses Mabida stadium, and close to all attractions.

    The hotel was fairly clean with pleasant staff upon the manager. The location was AMAZING and beautiful, next to the water front and the uShaka sea world, and the beach and activities for the kids. Furthermore, between so many restaurants.

    As party people, we loved the awesome proximity to the promenade and beach with plenty of activities. The seaside rooms offered a great view to wake up to. The staff were friendly and warm, and the waitresses at the restaurant were amazing. The breakfast selection was great, and the cozy rooms with comfy beds made for a comfortable stay.

    We felt cared for during our stay, as the staff went out of their way to make my husband's birthday special. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
