Very old hotel, charming and quaint, its beachfront but unsafe to walķ to beach, bothered by homeless beggars and illegal sellers..parking was safe and secure at the rear. Staff was friendly, helpful and very pleasant. As my wife is disabled the first disabled room was unsuitable due to the shower . We were moved to a better equipped bathroom which improved our stay.

The personnel went out of their way to make it a good experience. The politeness of the staff was evident right from the security guard outside to the cleaners.

Old style colonial hotel like going back in time! Very helpful staff. Lovely setting right on the beach in Durban. Some of the fixtures and fittings could do with refreshing or updating - for instance stair carpets very worn. Overall a very good experience though.

Totally appalled to arrive home to the UK to be informed that my credit card had been subject to credit card fraud of a few hundred GB pounds and I know that it had to be by a member of staff at this hotel. So watch out there are criminals at this hotel.

Other guests are noisy and security is slack in controlling the noise. Street noise (prostitutes) are plentiful - keep windows closed

The hotel is a bit old, but it was fine overall and had a touch of class given its age, which i liked. Room was a little small but not too small and was fairly clean. Street was a little noisy and the guys on the street yelling and talking in front of the hotel. For the price, its reasonable, but not great. I asked for a late check out - leaving on a Monday - I came to check out 30 minutes after the time and the guy at the front wanted to charge me. With all the hotels and traveling I have done, that was the first time I have had someone say that to me, especially after I informed them of a late check out. I refused but it left a sour taste in my mouth, so to speak.
