Certainly not what we had bargained on for that price. Room needs serious TLC with ceiling paint scaling... Had to try and fix door lock to be able to keep us inside end street guests outside... No aircon and small flimsy fan tried to provide air movement around 40°C. Agencies do anything to sell their add as long as collect the returns.... Advice people to check rooms/ apartments thoroughly ..... word of move best advertising medium.

Friendly staff and very neat rooms for overnight accommodation.

I was booked into Meerkat Manor on the 18th of December. I had stayed at The Herb Garden the night of the 17th, but due to illness I could not continue on my journey from Cape Town to Durban. The herb garden was full so I called around to find a safe pet friendly place with an enclosed secure garden with a fan.The web site description was very impressive, stating all room are air conditioned.They did try and get the room ready for me as soon as possible because I had to be out of the other place by 10.30.Upon meeting the manager she requested I pay for the room before seeing it. We then drove to Meerkat Manor. It was really awful. No garden. Gates were broken. Huge gaps under fencing. Certainly not safe and secure. No security gate on the front door. No safe enclosed garden. Definitely no air con and the fan did not work.I asked for another room. But the situation was the same. No access to secure garden. Just clay and palisade fencing with big gaps under on a busy road.I requested a refund and had to continue onto Bloemfontein in my condition. I was told Id receive it when she asked her boss.I have sent numerous messages and tried calling. To date 09/02/2018, I have received no refund or response from said manageress.Accommodation description:At the Meerkat Manor you will receive warm hospitality.

Bit old and dated. However not but for just a quick over night stay. Close to restaurants and shops.

Its ok

Rooms need maintenance. The window is right on the street and the burglar bars are missing. Couldnt open window. Just a fan in the room. Can install aircons for summer time. It was very hot. No chairs outside or table to put on. Bathroom has no container to put soap etc. into while you shower. Had to put soap etc. on floor. Wash basin falls off wall. Nothing in the bathroom is just a bottle of toilet spray and toilet paper. Very impersonal. Adele Rossouw - Durban
