The apartment were close to Ushaka Marine World and other attractions, although not situated in the nicest part of Durban.
The facilities are outdated, the fact that you had to climb stairs with heavy luggage and no-one to help you carry. No lifts or escalators. The fan was broken in one room and there were cocroaches running around.

Disappointing
I did like the ladies who were doing the cleaning in our room they were so friendly and welcoming.
I didn't like the lady who was handling our bookings, she was not patient at all and the worst part is she was not the one I was doing the bookings with .things were mixed up,the room she gave us was not good.

Nothing. Roaches everywhere
We checked in with a 4 month old infant and were greeted by a cockroach infestation, made the manager aware and she didn’t care all she could emphasize was that there’s no refund, she expected us to stay in a unhygienic cockroach infested place with an infant. The place is unhygienic and disgustingly infested with roaches. Checked out the next day, I was told repeatedly that there’s no refund. Scam of a place, you’re lured in to roach infestation and told no refund. So I must put my family’s lives at the mercy of roaches and all the filthy bacteria they carry and risk disease only to be told “there’s no refund”. Utterly disgusting.

Subject: Concerns Regarding Recent Booking at Shaka Holiday Apartments
Good morning Booking.com,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding a recent booking I made for accommodation in Durban at the Shaka Holiday Apartments, which is rated 8.3 on your platform. Could you please clarify who provided this rating?
Upon our arrival, we were immediately confronted with several alarming safety issues that made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe during our stay. We encountered individuals loitering near the entrance attempting to sell drugs, as well as witnessing instances of prostitution in close proximity to the property. These experiences raised significant red flags about the overall security of the area.
Furthermore, upon inspecting our apartment, we found that the locks on our door were inadequate and did not provide a sense of security. The safe provided was also non-functional, adding to our concerns about safeguarding our belongings during our stay. To make matters worse, there was no air conditioning available; it was uncomfortably hot inside the apartment.
Given these serious issues affecting both safety and comfort, we felt compelled to leave immediately and sought alternative accommodations at Hilton Hotel instead. As such, I would like to formally request a refund for my booking since we paid for early check-in but ultimately did not utilize any part of the accommodation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter; I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
Neave Kannemeyer
Managing Director

Pleasant
The location
You had to fetch everything yourself at the reception. The receptionist (lady) was not patient when it was check out time - she stood there till we were done dressing oh which we found so rude. The security guard is drunk almost all the time and not immediately available at the door. Cars are parked outside - no inside parking.
Thank you for your information!
