    excellent wi-fi
    rooftop pool

    Awesome place with its excellent wi-fi, rooftop pool, and 24-hour reception. The staff once helped me with sim cards during my first stay, which I appreciated. I recommend you try the breakfast buffet! I'm coming back for Christmas.

    delicious breakfast
    broken air conditioning
    uncomfortable room

    The room was comfy but the air conditioning wasn't working properly, which was a bit of a letdown. On the bright side, breakfast was delicious with heaps of options!

    rooftop pool
    ineffective air conditioning
    disruptive noise

    The rooftop pool added a lovely touch to our relaxation time.

    Unfortunately, the air conditioning in my room wasn’t functioning effectively, which made the nights quite uncomfortable. noise from the nearby bar area was disruptive during late hours, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Lastly, while the breakfast options were extensive and delicious, I found the limited dining choices available at night rather disappointing.

    non-working phone

    Durban vibes 🌊

    Phumeza and Ayanda seriously came through, got us a cheeky upgrade to a super room, and that made my day! The place was so clean and the bed was lekker comfy. Breakfast was on point too! And big shoutout to the friendly porter, such a gem!

    Just annoyed that the phone in the room didn’t work, could’ve done with that for room service when it got late.

    rooftop pool
    limited dining options

    The hotel is conveniently located within a vibrant shopping mall, making it easy to grab necessities and enjoy some retail therapy. I loved the rooftop pool, which provided a relaxing escape after a day of exploring. The spacious superior room was beautifully decorated and clean, making my stay all the more enjoyable.

    One downside was the limited dining options available at night, which could be improved.
