Great place for short stay - but needs work

This place has potential: - The owner and staff are friendly - It has all the facilities (pool, wifi, conference) The downside of this B&B is the following: - The rooms and decor is dated, it states 4 stars but I'm not sure that this is appropriate - The beds are not comfortable - The shower is not very strong - The breakfast is very basic and they could do better Overall, this place is fine if you don't mind the above and you don't intend on staying in the room for very long periods of time.

Very Disapopointing

We booked this B&B on Hotels.com. There was no indication that it was only a business B&B. Our room was very basic, no duvet. Only a bed spread and a sheet, with a smelly blanket in the cupboard. The breakfasts were fine, but on the 1st morning I was told we had to sit at a communal table! The only reason we stayed was because of the temporary Management who were very kind and friendly, otherwise we would have packed up and left immediately. They allowed us to sit separately for breakfast, although this was outside. There was no lounge area to relax in the B&B. Our bedroom was below the conference room. At 6am there was a serious noise coming from above us as the staff would set up the conference room for the day. This was apparently the best room in the B&B, so we were told. There were many other small issues in our short stay there which I am just not bothered to mention. I would never stay here again. I wouldn't recommend it either.

Hotel confort

Un bon établissement mais un peu cher en termes de rapport qualité prix. Très bon petit dej, les proprios irlandais sont adorables. Quartier tranquille, en dehors du centre de Durban. On conseille le resto Joop's place qui sert des viandes absolument divines : les proprios connaissent l'adresse.
