Parade Hotel  

Got into durban around 9 am and staff was courteous and told me room was not ready. Since I had a few things to tke care of... Went on to do my business and came back in evening to check in,.all was okay. View nice room location also nice..but but... Pillow and bed very comfortable..even though I would have preferred one double or queen bed since I was alone. I was in room 502. amenities were ok,

Carpet in room very dirty..appears that had not been cleaned and vacuumed in days....couch had not been moved and all corners of room on railing were full of dust... Bathroom floor tiles dirty... A big opening when looking at the wall in the bath tub ...could house many rats and other insects inside not knowing where it leads to.... This wide opening of about 1.5meters wide could be closed off. The door locks are poor flush doors locks. A simple deadbolt lock would suffice and change the visual in and out of the room. Some electrical panels were closed off with smaller than normal covers and towel hanger next to face wash basin is not properly fixed tothe wall(its coming off) floor under the sink is also dirty. You know what is disappointing - you have this wonderful property that could be so cosy and nice but the basics are not being complied with>>>cleanliness and appearance..... Sad but true... Am sure management knows about it.... Sorry...i have traveled to 68 countries to access hotels and guest houses... Very disappointed in upkeep of this facility.

Friendly staff; easy breakfast; comfortable although not luxurious.

Nervous about the street parking, but a seemingly 'faithful' car-guard was ever present.

Parade Hotel is very centrally situated on the beachfront. It is very close to all amenities. Thus you don't have to wall long distances to get to a good place to have dinner ot to go to the flee market etc

I really didn't enjoy the breakfast. It was actually quiet terrible. Mu suggestion is instead of making the sausages in a saucen why not jst fry it on its own. The breakfast surely is the only bad thing about the hotel

Sea front

I hated the hotel, even booked out after one night even though i paid for two nites, the room smell of dust, the bedd9ing is dusty and made my body itch, it looks so dreary , the tv is in front of the mirror, the towels are dusty! it should just be shut down

It's an affordable hotel with an excellent location

Its very old and unmaintained. Not as clean as one would like.

No aircons in room - it's extremely hot in the room. Tv did not work properly

Great service, extremely friendly staff who went out of their way to help me. Right on the beach.

The hotel building is old and needs renovation badly, including the rooms and the elevator. I had no sink in my bathroom, it was in the room itself.

Cheap stay, including breakfast. In the city center and close to the sea.

Very old building, Rooms look very sad. We found a dead cucaracha in the bathroom when we arrived. Isolation of the rooms is not great, we could hear our neighbor rooms at 6am on Sunday morning.

We loved the building itself. It had a lot of character. Our room was a corner room with two windows that overlooked the ocean and a nice sitting area by the big window. We also loved the breakfasts each morning. There were lots of choices for coffee, juice and food. It was delicious, and in a very elegent, unique atmosphere and area in the building, which had several table with views of the ocean. It was also nice to have the corner bar accessible from the lobby of the hotel and it had outdoor seating.

The room smelled a little musty. But it looked like they were remodelingt the rooms there with new carpet, etc.

Frienly reception. Lots of sleeping space. Walking distance to all beaches.

The room's doors closing/locking devices needs urgent attention.

Staff friendly. Cleanliness . Value for money,

Hôtel très bien situé, vue sur la plage et lever du soleil. Personnel sympa. Petit déjeuner correct. Calme, aucun soucis.

Sehr schöne Lage, direkt an der Promenade und Blick aufs Meer. Ein altes Hotel was sehr schön hergerichtet ist.
