“This hotel is near Southway Mall and provides family-friendly perks, including a playground and year-round outdoor pool; I think it's a solid choice for those seeking both leisure and convenience near Durban Central. While some aspects require attention, the provision of meeting facilities and a shared lounge aims to cater to both business and leisure needs. Overall, the location is a definite plus.”
