the hotel as 4star was good as to fittings, room and quality. Service starting with Reception absolutely horrible. Was asked in military ordering tone: Id number, Id, passport, bankcard - and then hard to believe Bankbalance !!!.Of course I did NOT no friendliness and a tone that I would not speak to my own employes (1900). I reported this to some Gentleman who said was 'Duty manager' who did little or nothing about it. Although my booking was fully paid 10 days before arrival I was 'ordered' to pay ZAR 250 parking for the 4 days. Have been customer of Sun International since the days of no! Maharani Hotel in Durban yet. Certainly NO 4star hotel Service This treadment makes visitation in your hotels very questionable, if this is the new tone and service.

Great hotel in a great location
Great hotel in a great location. The hotel is quite modern after recently being refurbished. The room was very spacious, the bed comfy and lovely shower. The hotel is a 20-minute walk to the V&A so easy to walk to. I was on the 8th floor which was nice and quiet. All the staff were very polite and helpful. Some negatives, breakfast can be quite busy and so sometimes you had to wait a while for coffee, which is taken to order. In the rooftop bar, the pool is very small, there are only a couple of sunbeds to use so unfortunately we were not able to use the pool. Service from the bar was very slow when asking for the bill and paying. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again

Modern property, convenient location, clean, just biggest let down is the majority of the staff. Shingy and Sophy and one other gentlemen at breakfast were great friendly and helpful. However the rest of the staff were not very pleasant. When we were leaving we asked for help booking a taxi - I gave specific instructions which were disregarded so the wrong taxi was ordered we then had to wait for another one which took longer and cost us more and delayed us getting to the airport. In addition everyone refused to help us with our bags so i held on to my kids while the driver and my husband had to sort the bags. Such a nice hotel but the staff really dampen the experience except for a few.
