There are large accommodation facilities in the same price range nearby, and we recommend that. Local people often asked me, "Why did you stay at the Riviera Hotel Durban?" In fact, there is no air conditioner, no shampoo, the toilet is cold, and the whole hotel is old, so I do not recommend it. The only advantage is that there is a petrol station in the vicinity and there is something like a small convenience store nearby.
