“This Durban boutique hotel distinguishes itself with a retro-chic design and a peaceful courtyard, a quiet contrast to the buzz of Florida Road's eateries nearby. The on-site Freedom Café enhances the experience, and the thoughtful combination of heritage architecture with modern comforts makes for a memorable stay. I find it offers a unique, stylish alternative for both leisure and business travellers.”
