The front desk staff was absolutely delightful. So friendly and accommodating, it truly set the scene for the rest of my stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the facilities are all you need for a quick stay. It is also easily accessible to and from King Shaka Airport.

I enjoyed my trip to Durban South Africa and staying at the nice hotel of Holiday Inn Express. Even though it was a little chilly the staff and housekeeping was very nice and understanding maintenance staff came right away to fix the heating in my room. Since I left before 6pm breakfast time they order me grab and go to enjoy my trip. Very rewarding and would stay again when I return in December

Very accessible and close to a lot of shopping and eating areas. Parking on the premises, easy access to breakfast because they arrange eating times in advance to avoid peak-hour rush. Well organised and close to Umhlanga beach, a big plus! Definitely recommend!
