The rooms are so clean and the property doesn't seem old. The rooms are stunning as advertised. Great value for money. I would book this hotel again. We tried the mutton curry bunny on their menu and it was good.
At breakfast (it's free), my partner had left so I was alone and 3 tables got served before me mind you it the same things except if you add on which I didn't and it's takes up to an hour to arrive. It tasted good though. I went both days that we had booked, first day with my partner.

The rooms were very clean. Housekeeping, Breakfast waiter & some reception staff were very friendly. I was assisted with hot water in my flask. I wish there was kettle coz I'm a coffee person (day & night) . The music they play at the dinning area and the food served is awesome, real butter & sausage.
It's not really about what I didn't like but I just a request for a kettle ONLY on my next visit. I do have my mugs & coffee, but just a kettle during my stay would be awesome. I do recommend the place for anyone. Thank you.

The breakfast was delicious but too little though for a man with a big appetite like mine, but it was taste. The properties is well organized, I liked everything about this place. The bar and the restaurant, the rooms are superb, but the actual location of the property was bit out of place, cause the it bit far from the beached, the mall and the shopping complex. More over there is no view of anything outside except the road and the cars that are passing by and the bridges, but the overall experience of this property was awesome, I love it the convenience of the bar, restaurant and the cleanliness of the whole property. I will definitely go back and visit the property especially for their delicious dishes.
The attitude of the lady at the bar, I believe she can do better, she didn't have the welcoming spirit to the guest of which ended up almost affecting our mood. She is grumpy and bit rude when you seek clarity about the flavors of drinks she available at the bar. I believe she can do better, by being a little bit patient with guest and their queries. Otherwise everybody else was nice and friendly, with that much needed welcoming spirit.

The Hotel has lots of charm. The room that I had stayed in was neat, clean and tidy. All the available items within the room were operational, including the usb charging sockets. The bathroom was cleaned daily and toiletries replaced accordingly. The towels were clean and white. Whilst the hotel has old school charm, it is a perfect destination for a business stay. It is central to durban as well as to pinetown.
Nothing was out of place or sub par. Everything just worked.

The receptionist on the date of arrival was good but overwhelmed with work. Cleaning staff takes their work very serious. God bless them.
Kitchen staff is overwhelmed and very slow. Breakfast starts too late, while we will still wait for slow service.

The rooms are nice and clean. The location is nice and peaceful and the parking is secure, there are always security guards on site.
Very slow breakfast service and the complimentary breakfast on a set menu and is very small. Standard rooms need tea and coffee making facilities
