We use this hotel as a stopover when we fly in to Durban from Australia. It is cheap and the facilities are good value lfor money. Only annoyance is there was only one person checking in at close to 11pm. They also ran out of the excellent underground parking spots. We parked in the adjacent mall parking but the entrance from the rear was not monitored and we had to walk around. Service however was friendly and room was clean and tidy.

We come to visit family in The Midlands twice a year from Australia. We needed a place close to Durban Airport close to the N2 to make it easy to find at night. This hotel is tidy friendly and clean and very well placed. The position next to the mall is ideal for air conditioned walking after an early rise due to jet lag. The rooms are small but for the money it great value for our purposes. We wil use this hotel again.
