Unhygienic area
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room had an unpleasant smell, showing that it wasn't cleaned up. I don't know what to say about the bedding, can you imagine sleeping in chairs and covering your body with your gown in this weather, since all the blankets were dismal dirt and stinks. As I'm talking now we are all dying of flu since we caught the cold the whole night. We even tried going to the front desk staff asking for the blankets, but no one was there, we only found the security who didn't know anything. That was the worst experience I ever thought about. I am so disappointed and I will never forget.

Wonderful stay Durban offered the best holiday and as always the weather did not dissapoint
Pros:

I enjoyed my stay at Oceanic 88, Musa Buthelezi owned the unit I stayed in, I noticed that different people own different units, the unit was clean, yes there were some cockroaches, but not a lot one could see that they were coming from other places, there was a pesticide (Doom) in the unit and that was a nice touch, the bed was nicely done clean sheets and bedding the unit had the neccesary kitchen appliances, and had a free WI FI, the decor at the unit was wonderful and homely.

Cons:

There isnt anything that I didnt like, I stayed in a fairly clean unit. The amenities in Durban are always nice
