"Hi, I had a fortune to visit Durban for a Business conference and I booked Hotel Pavilion through agoda. I was shocked to see the location, the clean hotel and comfortable rooms. I was now happy because what I paid was nothing against the services I got. I wish Hotel Pavilion best of luck for this future business. I would visit Durban very soon with my family and will surely prefer this hotel again "

"This was a self-catering large room IN but not OF the Capital Pearls Hotel (where I thought I was booking) . So I got fairly good value for money. Access to Hotel and swimming pool and reasonably priced restaurant . Breakfast R220 so best to use the self catering - assuming you are staying here to keep costs down The meet and greet/arrival was the exhausting disaster. It took ages, driver did not know where to take me and I got sent all over the place. Basically there is an AGENT as these are private rented rooms that are sublet to you. MAKE SURE you look out for the agent's message the day before you arrive and let him know when you will meet him - apparently many people have the trouble I did. WORST is that Agoda does not have ANY contact no for your accomm for you to phone the accommodation if you get lost like me in their weird system "

"I really loved the location, it changed my dbn visit for the first time in my life....... facilities was good.... I visited and called the hotel for an early check in which I was advised the hotel was fully booked, which is understandable. ...However the room was still not ready by 2:30..... What i did appreciate was being upgraded to executive room.... Another point to note....i also requested twin beds.....which was noted prior to my visit.....because my visit was so quick......and I had appointments ect.....i had no time to mention this....and my brother had to sleep on the couch........... Apart from that the room i was allocated was awesome in terms of comfort.....The staff was really helpful as well. time is very important if your booking for a day....and details requested(twin beds) I do come to gateway often which a group of people.....who often ask me for recommendations..... Many thanks."
