I do a fair amount of travel - I truly think this property has the warmest & most hospitable staff I've ever met... Truly, each & every person I saw, passed, talked to, made an inquiry with, each was so wonderful - it really added to my experience. Being across from the Mall was great - I was able to pop over there for a mani/pedi, as well as for items at the pharmacy & grocery. Easy to Uber from there to anywhere. Felt safe & taken care of, which is always a extra important to me since I travel solo. The bar was great - fabulous bartenders & bar managers - & there was always great music playing, whether over sound system, live performers, or DJ. I could not have made a better selection for my stay in Durban! ##### CHRISTINA Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Charis Jan 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Average stay Our stay was fine and the rooms clean, check in staff were good and so were the cleaning staff. Unfortunately the breakfast let us down, the breakfast was very average and bland. On Christmas day we arrived at breakfast at 9:30am and were turned away by the staff at the breakfast area who advised us that the breakfast time had changed but we were not given any notice when checking in or in our room. We felt very dissapoint especially on christmas day when we expected a lovely special breakfast with our family. They eventually let us in but they packed away the food as we dished our food and we felt so badly treated and rushed. Not sure i would stay here again or book my staff here again. ##### Charis Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dolapo Dec 29, 2025 Bar was just okay ##### Dolapo Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riaz Oct 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great loaction ##### Riaz Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sakhiwo Jan 5, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean ##### Sakhiwo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Boissevain](https://www.expedia.ca/Boissevain-Hotels.d6345934.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Villa Fran](https://www.expedia.ca/Kraljevica-Hotels-Villa-Fran.h109402058.Hotel-Information) > > [The Capital Zimbali](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-The-Capital-Zimbali.h68207378.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Homes Madera Canyon](https://www.expedia.ca/Madera-Canyon-Private-Vacation-Homes.d553248635975855456-aaPrivateVacationHomes.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Villa Beryl Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Abaqulusi-Hotels-Villa-Beryl-Guesthouse.h15749180.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in West Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-West-Coast-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6047985-tPetfriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Bryne](https://www.expedia.ca/Bryne-Hotels.d6056650.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Gran Hotel Havana by Escampa Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Havana-By-Escampa-Hotels.h868702.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Golden](https://www.expedia.ca/Golden-Hotels.d6058316.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hafenhotel Meereszeiten](https://www.expedia.ca/Heiligenhafen-Hotels-Hafenhotel-Meereszeiten.h9804886.Hotel-Information) > > [Sagewood, Zimbali Coastal Resort - 5 Bedroom Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Sagewood.h45717041.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ponderay](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponderay-Hotels.d6048034.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Tembe Elephant Park](https://www.expedia.ca/UMhlabuyalingana-Hotels-Tembe-Elephant-Park.h33711138.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Mombasa (MBA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mba/toronto-to-mombasa) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to Township of Woolwich (YKF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/ykf/nanaimo-to-kitchener) > > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/yvr/kamloops-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Timmins (YTS) to Kapuskasing (YYU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yts/yyu/timmins-to-kapuskasing) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Air Canada Orlando (MCO) to Mississauga (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-orlando-intl-to-pearson-intl/ac/mco/yyz) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Málaga (AGP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/agp/edmonton-to-malaga) > > [Flights from Jamaica (JFK) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jfk/bom/new-york-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Schiphol (AMS) to Niederanven (LUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ams/lux/amsterdam-to-luxembourg) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) ### Packages > [Oregon Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon.d239.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Vigie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Vigie-Beach-Castries.d6067639.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Old Town Lucerne](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucerne-Old-Town-Lucerne.dx6202997)
