The hotel was really nice. The staff did help us in many areas but even though they lived in Durban their knowledge was fairly limited about the area. All we were told was not to go out at night as it was not safe for white people. Even during the day do not wear a watch or show your phone. When I asked about groceries or getting a sim card they didn'r really know where I should go. Eventually a porter told me the best place to go which was only a 5 minute walk. The restaurant and staff in there were superb. The meals were excellent. And the prices were so cheap compared to the UK.

Proximity to the beach, did a lot of complimentary specials for Comrades participants. Fantastic breakfast options. Staff were polite and welcoming. Would highly recommend the hotel

The customer service was very disappointing, it did not seem like people cared or were keen about meeting our needs as customers of the hotel. Maybe a refresher course would be beneficial.
I would like to commend the quality of the food as well as the service of the chefs, no issues there and great customer service from the team that were making our breakfast and how they deal with us as customers. The rest of the hotel employees can learn a thing or two from them.
The cleanliness is also on point and commendable.
If there are many people or peak periods, maybe the number of employees should be increased to accommodate the increase in demand as that directly affects the service levels.
Lastly, maybe alternative power during load shedding is an option to consider too?

Property is well located with friendly staff. Parking is an issue although theres overflow parking as a female walking in the middle of the night to where parking is back to the hotel is not really safe. The place needs to be disinfected there were quite a lot of unfriendly creatures crawling in the hallways.

The aircon works fone but its very noisy. It wouldnt be a bad idea to have a microwave and a kettle in guest room i think.

We were robbed both of us just a block from the hotel in daylight on a Sunday morning. 3 people were killed/ stabbed to death in that same area while we stayed there for 5 days. Durbin is very very dangerous.

Even though I call the manager Belinda to confirm the reservation because we where arriving at 5:30 am , when we arrived the reservation has been cancelled, I was told that it was because I didn’t pay in advance, which Belinda never told me I was supposed to do
They have their own driver and will not call a taxi for me. The driver gave us a price and then told us that it was per person.
The food was good and the room ok

They did their best to make you feel at home which was great. I didn’t get rooms that I booked and had to settle for what they had. This was a bit annoying since I booked months in advance. I didn’t like the fact that one would have to wait longer for table water during dinner. As much as the staff is friendly an approachable I was given conflicting information most of the time.

The Hotel was fully booked according to the Trade Association that hosted the symposium which I attended. I also called them and they were fully booked. I tried through Expedia and I got a booking! Great for Expedia!
Some of the delegates could only access their rooms about two hours late. The one woman had a man enter her room unexpectedly. This guy was extremely apologetic but there was an administrative blunder, the hotel gave two guests the same room, both with access via a "key card"!
I did not hang a "do not disturb" card on the outside of the hotel room, but the cleaners frequently knocked on my door from quite early to enquire if they cannot start cleaning yet.
While the symposium was in process some staff members were chatting directly outside the door. I do not know why it was necessary, because they were standing almost next to each other, but they were shouting at each other which created a irritating disturbance inside the symposium hall.
Wine and sparkling wine that should have been presented cold was room temperature.
The Hall for the Gala dinner was only ready 40 minutes late.
I had a "telephone" item on my bill of almost one hour while I did not use the telephone at all.

Location to the beach and taxi distances to my destinations made it central. Staff were pleasant but at times need to focus on sharp delivery, quick and efficient presentation.
