Durban House Heritage Centre Tours and Activities

Pros: Close to the railway station, rooms seem updated, breakfast selection was lovely (although the same for all days we stayed there), and the cleaning staff did a good job of swiftly cleaning the rooms each day. Cons: When we checked in our pillows smelled like body odor, we didn't really think of speaking to staff until the next day but when they were replaced, we *knew* the pillows were old when we arrived. We asked for a cot via the chat weeks before arrival but still, when we got there, there was no cot. When the cot came, the gentlemen offered to set it up but told us that they don't provide mattresses... which it's really just a playpen. He gave us towels and some bedding, which I'm pretty sure if a child is small enough, would be even more dangerous than a mattress. The washroom is 3-in-1, with no visible separation between the shower, toilet, and sink. Definitely would have to stay here as a family, otherwise, sharing a room with a friend or colleague would be rather awkward. There is no shower curtain nor glass, making the water go all over the floor. Not sure why it is designed this way. STILL, we give this property 4 out of 5 stars as it was generally quite lovely.
