“Royal Ushaka Durban North intends to blend food, comfort, and wellness, and its location grants quick access to Durban's cultural attractions and stadiums; however, some reported issues such as maintenance and inconsistent service should be addressed for a seamless experience. With its outdoor pool and proximity to the airport, this hotel could be a solid option with improvements. As an editor, I see potential, but management needs to fine-tune the guest experience.”
