“Sun1 Durban is a budget-friendly option near the beaches, but some rooms lack air conditioning. While the staff receives praise for service, reports mention issues such as restricted waiting areas, reflecting a mixed experience. In my opinion, it's a basic choice best suited for short stays where budget is a primary concern.”
