Spent the weekend of the 8th at GCU. They were exceptional. They made it so special for my hubby's birthday celebration and our anniversary. The room had a beautiful view of the ridge. Being a germophobe, I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the room and bathroom. They deserve every award achieved for cleanliness. The breakfast buffet is wonderful and the waiters are very kind and accommodating with kids. We ordered hot chocolates before bedtime and these were the most delicious cups we have had in a while. Awesome hotel and great value for money. Would definitely return. My only suggestion is to offer complimentary water in the rooms, with the current state of municipal water.

“Great stay! Great breakfast!”

Part of an old favorite hotel group that kept its quality. Rooms were spacious and clean. Bathrooms better than most. Breakfast was great and service really good. Heated swimming pool a winner. Very central and close to very good restaurants and Gateway mall! Loved our stay and worth it!

“Such a great stay!”

So impressed! We booked for the Comrades Marathon package and were absolutely delighted with the experience. The UGC staff deserve all the praise for being so warm, welcoming and eager to assist - from reception and the restaurant team to the porters and housekeeping. This really made our trip ALL … lisää

So impressed! We booked for the Comrades Marathon package and were absolutely delighted with the experience. The UGC staff deserve all the praise for being so warm, welcoming and eager to assist - from reception and the restaurant team to the porters and housekeeping. This really made our trip ALL the more special. The daily breakfast buffet was top notch. The team were constantly refilling and restocking, so everything was fresh and inviting (no soggy fruit salad or sad, almost-empty platters). Great selection of continental and hot breakfast options. Our room was on the 5th floor, overlooking the pool courtyard. We stayed for 5 nights and it was perfect with sufficient cupboard space and a nice-sized bathroom. Clean, comfortable, air conditioned and with blackout curtains. The location of the hotel is ideal, just a few steps away from Gateway Mall and about a 5 minute drive to the beautiful Umhlanga promenade and restaurant district. It's really well situated for travelling to Durban and Ballito, and 15 minutes to the airport. And thank you to Southern Sun for the extra touches around the marathon itself. The update in our room prior to race day, the fantastic early breakfast service (from 2am!) with - quite literally - anything and everything hungry runners could want. The variety of "grab & go" items for the race, including carry bags, made seconding our runners so easy. And the "did you forget anything?" station with safety pins, tissues, bottled water, salt sachets... the team had thought of everything, and it was so appreciated.
