Flamingo Rocks

The room is big and clean , but does not have any view. The hotel in a good and active area, staff are nice and welcoming. Breakfast is poor , if you choose to stay overthere you can take your breakfast at any restaurant arround. Overall is good.

The breakfast was good, lots of options, cereals, baked goods, fruit salad, yoghurts, full cooked breakfast, several options. The location is good, just a bit hard to find the first time. 2 blocks from the Umhlanga beach & promenade. 1 block from 2 big malls, restaurants etc. We travelled with 2 dogs, and that was no extra charge. The staff were kind, friendly and accommodating. Very nice modern bathroom. Everything was clean, and cleaned daily.

The TV did not work the day we arrived. A working TV was brought in the next day, however the Netflix box didn't work, and had to wait 3 days for that, mainly due to public holidays as we travelled over Christmas. Towels were old. Extractor fan in bathroom did not work. There was no hairdryer, although I never needed one, it should be taken off the list as an amenity. While I understand and have stayed in some dated accommodation, or even new accommodation where something didn't work, it seems that this accommodation is in need of some TLC and repairs. Most of their reviews with high numbers come from 2017 and 2018. After the initial hiccup, the remainder of the stay was problem free.

Felt free and at home, staff were friendly and place was clean. Great location and value for money.
