Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dated rooms and facilities — Some guests describe the rooms as vintage or old, with one noting the bathroom seemed from the 1950s. A few found the facilities 'falling apart'.
- Inconsistent quality — While many guests are satisfied, a minority report poor service, cramped rooms, and a disappointing dining room. The hotel’s rating of 7.3 reflects mixed feedback.
- Neighbourhood not for everyone — One guest described the area as 'really poor but central', and another noted the location is 'just off banks'. The immediate surroundings may feel less polished than the rest of Durban.
- No parking or pet facilities listed — The hotel does not list parking options, and pets are not allowed. Check-in is limited to between 14:00 and 23:59.
