Nneheng Grace
Booking was done in July 2022 but on arrival Sun1 provided me with disabled room smelling pee untidy. Was wondering what's the used of booking early instead of receiving 1st preference I had very terrible services. I was indeed disappointed will never booked at SUN1 ever.
Vuyokazi

Sbusiso
My stay was not good at all ather guests where coming to the hotel sround 2am making horrible noise even singing. There is no control at all in the parkings
Barbara
Emergency booking. Prompt assistance
Best place by Hotel.com. no hustles
Paula
Housekeeping walks into the room without knocking first. There was a party the whole afternoon into the night on the floor outside which could be heard by reception but nothing was done to make the noise levels less. The room itself was great. Staff was great.
Naomi
I was not happy abt the cleanliness of the hotel especially the carpet
Niresh

Judith

Friendly receptionists
The receptionists are nice and friendly, welcoming with warmth. The room was too small, with shower next to the headboard of the bed. No iron, No hairdryer inside the rooms, glasses are small and plastic, air conditioner was not working, the room was hot. The nice thing about the hotel is that there is minimum sounds and privacy is respected.
Verified traveler
it was good as i was nearer to the bus station as i wss using public transport
please fix the airconditioner and add at least DSTV channels

Ashley
Worst stay I have ever had at a hotel.
When booking no mention about the R40 per night parking fee, and then they wanted to charge me a levy, false advertising. The Hotel is right next to the train and bus station, room very noisy, could not sleep.
I left early, could not take the noise anymore. Shower sprays onto the floor everything wet. Very poor conditions for a sun hotel.

Our waiting Time at your Hotel
We booked the place since we were on did not get a bus to Mpumalanga and we decided to be close by the bus station and luckily when we were checked in we got space on the bus and we had to check out , but the hour we spent there was peacefull and clean.
Mabongelwa
Wonderful staff, just a few upgrades needed
The service from the staff is brilliant, however limited tv channels and faulty air-conditioning was a low
Verified traveler
Bad stay
The staff was rude and very unfriendly. The noise level was very high people were coming in drunk and making noise. The staff wakes you up early in the morning to ask you stupid questions

Good place to stay
The place is good
Verified traveler
Not what I thought it was...
I was really not impressed, when we booked it was said breakfast included only to find out its R55 per person, like really you let us watch SABC TV, what happened to DSTV? I wouldn't recommend a friend to book there as for me it was the first and the last time however staff members has a very good service though always wearing a smile.Keep it up!!
Norah
It was very nice, staff so friendly and helpfully
Thomas
Sun1, never again.
The failure to provide clean towels is just unacceptable. Noisy neighbours split the stay, the parking situation leaves much to be desired and the location is one I would not visit again.
curtis
Very neat but tiny cosy place. Could have a breakfast options besides cereal. Overall it was a good stay
Verified traveler
Overall good, close to community but hotel located
Amazing experience!!
Lindiwe
It was okay
obrian
Recommend to travelers who are serious
Friendly staff at the front desk except for an elderly Caucasian male who frowned as if to show dismay or something?
Mandisa
Nothing like the picture suggests
The place looks nothing like it does on the pictures. When you arrive you immediately notice the place is directly next to a bus/train station. It literally just looks like a hotel in the middle of a taxi rank.

This place is awesome and Soo cute!!

Overall a good experience. It was a non smoking room but I didn't smell that way. That's the only thing I'd change.

They was a funny smell in the room as if something was split on the carpet plus the air conditioner didn't seem like it was working

Good Value Accomodation
Good servie, clean and friendly. In this price range you cant expect much more and the hotel is perfect for an overnight stop.
Valerie
Nice compact place
Could be a nice place to stay during school terms. There were students staying in the hotel and made noise into the morning.
Nini
The hotel is not for tourists and should not be sold as such. It is a formula 1 facility for travelling shoppers who buy and sell. It is not agfiliated wit sun international which is the epitomy of luxury. It is located at Durban station. On arrival you are met with a disconcerting feeling that you may get mugged. The stench of urine outside the building is terrible. It was a misrepresentation. My booking could not be found and it was good i brought a copy of my booking. Security was ok but its the kind of place you sleep with your money under your matress!
Gerald Masigo
The room we stayed in as family of two was too small and cramped. We were jumping over our luggage bags as there was no proper storage for them.
Otherwise, the room was clean and bed was comfortable to rest our tired bodies. We had booked for 4 nights but stayed only for 3 nights because of unforseen circumstances. But what worries us is our reimbursement for one night because the exchange of words between the hotel and Expedia staffs.

Delyse
The staff were absolutely amazing, from front desk to security - well done! The rooms were spotless. Sadly the area has gone down since we were last there but that is out of your control. Overall we had a good stay even though the circumstances were stressful.
