Very bad
Pros:

It's close to Ushaka marine world.

Cons:

1.On arrival the staff wasn't welcoming at all.
2. The room I was in had close to no water at the shower, it came out very slow & took about 20 minutes for water to be hot.
3. The air-conditioning wasn't working.
4. Noise by other male guest until midnight and also in the morning from 5:30
5. Nobody explained to me anything, they didn't tell me about the shower and Aircon problem, they didn't tell me about where to go or to do if I needed to iron or anything.
6. They no longer offer breakfast but I wasn't told.
7. I barely slept because of the noise and the light from the passage & the other room.

Paradise review
Pros:

Value for money and the fact that we can cook there were a plus.

Cons:

No wifi, TV plays only 3 channels but it's a smart TV. Toilet window did not have a curtain thus no privacy as there is an abandant building facing the apartment. Not much ventilation in the room and toilet partition needs sealing at the bottom.

Great
Pros:

It was closer for me to activities that brought me to Durbs.

Cons:

They were aware TV in room I was allocated was not working and they did nothing about it. Directions on Google maps horrible and place hard to find. Staff must learn that not every black person is zulu.
Guests were also noisy and hopefully they can be strict on that for respect of others.
