"Convenient, Comfortable, and Perfectly Located"

2025-11-24

This hotel is conveniently located just 20 minutes from King Shaka International Airport, which made me feel completely at ease travelling in and out of Durban. Its location is one of its greatest strengths — especially for visitors who value easy access to both the city and the beach. The hotel is adjacent to a mall, which is ideal if you enjoy shopping for designer brands like Boss, Gucci, or Burberry. And if you prefer a more mixed shopping experience with both high-end and affordable options such as Woolworths, Truworths, or Mr Price, Gateway Mall is only a five-minute drive away. The staff are another standout feature. The team managing the restaurant and bar are incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly. They make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, this hotel is an excellent choice — especially with the beachfront right on your doorstep. Highly recommended.

"An excellent stay"

All was really first class!! No negative comments except noisy at night at times, in streets with cars roaring and screeching - but that is nothing to do with the excellent service rendered by the hotel. Thank you so much.

"Superb Stay"

It was amazing. Keep up the great work. Great places tend to deteriorate over time, I really hope you'll keep this level of service and customer experience or improve it to be even better.
