"This five-star, slightly old-world institution is one of the city’s most historical and swankiest offerings."

"This 150-year-old grand hotel in Durban’s city centre is decorated with warm yellowwood and blue tones. The butler service adds a touch of luxurious sophistication."
Rough Guide
"Feels a little oldfangled. Smack in the centre of town... it’s worth considering if you can afford five-star splendour and fancy the liveried service. Discounts are often available."

"An organised and neat, yet relaxed kind of joint (for those who like relaxing joints), and one that likes to party... You’re a jump away from the cinemas and cappuccino bars of the Musgrave Centre."

Rough Guide
"A short walk from the Musgrave Centre, this chilled-out hostel is good for nonsensical conversations at the bar or around the pool. Meals available. Dorms , rooms."
