A bit overpriced
We arrived shortly after the hotel reopened after an electrical fire. Some of the eating establishments were not yet open, so I have no advice on this. It was clean and the service was very good, but it was a bit over priced for the condition of the hotel. It was also not safe after dark and we were sent to eat somewhere and were rescued by a local woman who spotted our trouble. She walked us to safety, but gave us very good advice about what not to do in the future. The hotel should have been more prepared to give advice on what to do about eating arrangements if they knew they were going to be closed.

Middle of a Ghetto
Hotel standards are poor. all bars closed except 1. No Movie facilities. No Internet facilities. Very dissapointed to see a fine old hotel going to pieces!

Very Good Hotel
The service level at the hotel was excellent, with friendly staff. The food in the main restaurent was excellent as was the view at breakfast over the harbour from the roof top lounge. The internet access was not always available, but if you’re on holiday - that doesn’t matter. I will stay there again the next time I’m in Durban
