    When I looked at the reviews I thought I have to try and It was everything the reviews said it would be. I was contacted beforehand to make check in easier. The owners were extremely helpful to make sure that I had everything I need and the breakfast was really great. I will definitely return here on my next business trips.

    1. Variety of cereal and English breakfast 2. Served on time 3. Helpful and friendly staff

    Clothing cupboard smelled mouldy, Kitchen cupboards smelled as if they hadn't been opened in a while, crockery and cutlery smelled like they had been dried with a smelly tea towel. Feet dirty after walking on the tiled floor. Minor complaints in comparison to some experiences...

    Super secure, very helpful and friendly staff. Reasonably well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms, comfy bed, tastefully decorated. Always nice to have couches and chairs in the room as well.

    Breakfast was plentiful, but more choice could be given - suggest a form to complete the day before, according to the needs of the guest.

    Great communication from hosts before and during the stay. Clean, comfortable room and furnishings - felt like home. Modern fittings and extra touches. Bottles of water and fresh milk in a full sized fridge. Pool looked pristine.

    Nothing. There's nothing to dislike in this fantastic place.

    Everything. I was a bit skeptical when I saw The Travel Inn being so cheap and yet having its rating. I was pleasantly surprised upon getting there though. My expectations were exceeded. A rating of 100/10 is more appropriate! Tertius and Thabisile are excellent hosts. Of course, their own travel experiences adds up in helping them make The Travel Inn one of the best places you can lodge in Durban at such affordable prices. Tertius and Thabisile also transported us at their own costs without asking for any dime from us. We even got complimentary footwears. If the accomodation is available for your dates, you will never go wrong with this place. Book it immediately, thank me later. (~_*) Thank you Thabisile, thank you Tertius. You were excellent in hosting us and we equally love your dynamics as a couple.

    Toilet needs an extractor.fan for hygiene reasons. Shower drainage needs suctioning, as water is clogging up. Sensor lights need override switch. If there was one, we were not aware of it.

    Bed, cleanliness, service & value for money.
