“In my opinion, this boutique hotel strikes a pleasant balance, with well-maintained rooms and a convenient location near Florida Road's dining scene; the daily continental breakfast is a welcome touch. I think it's a solid choice for both leisure and business, given the practical amenities like air conditioning and the helpful 24-hour front desk. Overall, I see it as a comfortable Durban base.”
