The can definitely improve the finer details. Like fixing broken glass doors and lose tiles. Keep good quality towels.
Restuarant closes at 10...that's a bit early. Ironing boards and irons are short, have wait for 45 mins to 1 hrs for the iron. This also happened to me during my previous stay.
Overall I love this place because I feel like I'm at home.

Apartment living meets hotel. Good to have self-catering options coupled with hotel amenities, especially ahead of a marathon where home comforts and routine is welcomed. Our request for a late check out after the marathon was permitted and the team was very understanding of our individual needs.

It was in overall a good Hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The location is ok. Relatively new build area with many shops around.
Nice and clean gym and the pool is in good condition. Rooms could do with some patch up.

I stayed at urban Park for 3 weeks while working in Durban. The 1st room I was in on the MZ floor, was like a dungeon with no natural light and the hotel air vent coming through my outside area. I was moved to a higher floor which was much better. The kitchens were missing most things on the list, that they claimed to provide. I had to buy a frying pan, utility knives and dishwashing sponges. The cleaners removed towels without providing fresh ones. I had to constantly ask for toilet paper. Reception dont answer the in house phone 8 out of 10 times. While everyone was friendly, I found the attention to detail and follow up lacking in every area.

This hotel makes Fawlty Towers look super efficient.
Service terrible. Staff unhelpful and clueless. "Indoor pool" is a green fish pond. Spa is closed. Eventhough no mention is made of this on the web. They accepted a booking for 1 adult and 2 children in a room with a double bed and twin beds. When they checked in they were given a room with a double bed only. No help offered. Take it or leave it. No management available to assist. So the guests left and checked into the Protea Hotel. Refused any refund. Whilst waiting in reception 3 guests complained that the rooms they booked were not what they received. Seems there is a serious problem with misrepresentation. Do not book into this hotel.

The one bedroom apartment was very clean, modern and fully fitted with all appliances. It was serviced everyday and was comfortable to stay in. This place is perfect for long stays as well. I specifically loved the location of the hotel, its very quite and there are a lot of places to go to if you enjoy exploring a city when on holiday

Would not recommend this hotel to anyone if you are looking for a relaxing stay. The reception staff are extremely rude and the noise levels in the hotel make it impossible to sleep - guests are allowed to socialise till 2am at the public facilities. The safe was broken in the room and so was the fridge

Very dissapointing stay, smoke alarm in our room went off, no one came to check, bath and toilet leaking, no towels even though the old ones were gone. Sharing a table for breakfast with a stranger. Food dinner was good for the price.
