The service is the best,the stuff is friendly n their rooms are clean n up to standard,the stuff is welcoming and they make sure that your stay is good so m very happy with that hotel keep up the good job

The great service

They were very helpful, friendly and accommodating.  Room very basic with no floor coverings and no prints on walls - very impersonal.  No towels - I had to request towels.  Top bed linen was torn.  They do not have a smoking area  - I had to smoke standing outside the premises.  Opposite ICC where I worked but outside area is a bit dodgy due to location of downtown Durban

Visit

We pre-booked, reservation was confirmed, then cancelled by the hotel and then re-confirmed due to cancellations. We arrived early and were told there was no availability till 2 o'clock. Girl on reception was surly and unhelpful. The toilets in the public area of the hotel were dirty and dingy, with no toilet paper. 
We felt the hotel was not in the safest area - there was a strip club, massage parlour and topless bar just doors away.
From our brief experience we found nothing to recommend the hotel.

Don't bother

First time to stay here; facilitating training. Centrally located hotel. First, I would like to commend staff on all levels for their above-excellent customer service and care. Secondly, my room on the 4th floor was comfortable, very clean and spacious. I appreciated having a fridge in my room; also a kettle - hair dryer on request. Further, restaurant on site for room service in the evenings that you do not want to go out and very cold beers downstairs in the bar; I was especially impressed with the salad and Tartare sauce that accompanied the baked fish I ordered for room service - pity the fish was dry. But my sirloin steak the previous evening was great. Regarding the training rooms: there are 2 venues that I know of to choose from on first floor. The one we used does not have natural light, but is a good size with some wall space. Had a good atmosphere. Bathrooms on site VERY intimately located .... Other room is bigger with balcony, but located on the street; more noisy - remember, you are in the middle of a city.  Lunches served were good and the break teas and snacks were always on hand and excellent (served in the training venue). Reception arranges transfers and will gladly assist with anything. I will definitely be back. Best service! 

Customer service tip-top! Centrally located.

Going to Durban very often - Robbed in 2010 in another upper class grand hotel whilst sleeping, attempted hijack May 2014. Stayed in Olwandle in 2012 and decided to return 2014 because of the save, friendly environment, friendly helpfull staff, up-to date with your reservation. Stayed for a week, and the last evening at dinner the staff even came to greet me goodbye as they won't see me again before I leave. Believe me, I did not chatter about my where-abouts, they were informed and updated. Breakfast and dinner - not a wide range to choose, however prepared with love. Walking distance from the ICC, therefore could park my car on arrival and leave a week later without having to drive anywhere during the week (remember the attempted hijack in the upperclass area in May!) Could walk to the "Workshop Mall", shopping and within a few minutes back in my spacious, friendly, clean room. Battled to connect to my server, but with the free Wi-Fi, what a pleasure! In future, the only place for me to stay.
