The room was clean i can't complain you can only work on changing the carpet in the passages as you know that it smells damp.

It was good except that if you need something you can't call at the reception, you need to go physically. Shower head needs to be fixed so that the water can flow properly.

When we got there at 10 we wanted to b e in the hotel , they told us we must come in at 2 oclock, how so disappointing really

Albany should not be a hotel cos it does not have the actual stds of a hotel. The 1st room i was given room 39 was dirty nbi has to go to reception to ask foe another one. The reception is deceiving cos it looks clean but joooo. From 1st floor the smell of the carpets is unbearable considering that its the breakfast place. Then the others floors n rooms are not welcoming from walls to carpets need a redo. In fact i regretted cos i wanted my family to have a great time but we did not cos i guess its mangement do not care

It was a nightmare , very very bad standard , people shouting and yelling every night until 2am in the morning , no towels , key to be reconfirm every days . Stolen close …. The worst stay in hotel possible .

The reception area was ok, and the lady assisting with the check in was helpful. However, I was deeply disappointed with the rest. As we stepped off the lift, we were welcome a not so clean looking passage way leading to our room.
The room looked absolutely nothing like what we saw in the photos when we made our booking. It was an old and tired looking room that we were allocated. It just looked like it desperately needed some renovation. The bathroom was worse.
I will definitely be not booking here again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Only one towel for a 3 sleeper room
Good for a “just want to lay my head” travels
Room seemed too close (clustered) compared to what / how advertised.
Reception very friendly

This was unlike anything we've ever experienced The photos on web is not at all what you get. It is a filthy, smelly place. No water in rooms, no ice available..towels have holes in...just disgusting. I have complained just after our stay but nothing came of it....never ever again!!!

Came to run Comrades Marathon and needed a budget hotel as I have other away races this year.
The Albany offered everything I needed at the price point I had to work with.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the room although small, was clean and had all I needed.

The hotel needs serious renovations.
The staff also need client service workshop. Not friendly at all.

Room was dirty. Electricity was tripping if more than 7 times we had to request room change. The new room no 65 had no workable door lock. When we leave the room the see ity had to come and open the door because the card was not working.
The lock itself behind the door was dismantled indeed an eye sore.
Tha bathroom was in a horrible state.
This hotel should never be 3 star!!!!
It should not make 1 star.
I've got photos to prove.

On check in said they could not locate my payment though i had phoned ealier to confirm if all was in order

cockroaches, I couldn't sleep, u said u have 20 channels we only viewed 5, no free Wi-Fi,I also dont like the smell of your hotel, the pathway to the parking its not safe

Very central and walking distance to the cricket ground, but I didn't feel safe leaving the hotel after dark. I think the hotel has recently been renovated and the facilities are now really nice, but its reputation with locals doesn't seem to have caught up yet. There is nowhere nearby to eat in the evening, and no facilities to store your own food (e.g. fridge).

The room and service was ok but the tv was not functional, spent 1 and half day with a tv with no volume even after reporting. The tarven at the side of the hotel appears to be dodgy. It does compare well with other 3 star hotels I have been to.

It is an old establishment, with many appliances having seen better days an in need of updating. The rooms are ok, but some gadgets don't work. I had to change rooms to get to one that had almost all things working.
Access to their recommended parking is quite disconcerting at night. It's via an alleyway that is shadowy with some dodgy looking people hanging about. But during the day it's fine as the car park is used by the general public coming to work in the city.
The staff go out of their way to help and are friendly. Housekeeping staff do all they can to keep the rooms tidy and clean, always smiling and cheerful.
I had free internet access, but I only managed to use it a couple of times and then it only lasted a few minutes before things went offline.
The hotel is central as well as being close to Durban beaches making it an ideal base for leisure (holiday) or business.
Overall, let me just say, it did the job, provided me with a bed during my time in Durban.
