Good value for money.We applaud the experience.The staff are very friendly and welcoming,especially the catering department.The hotel is clean and well maintained.Yes,it may be located in an area with all sorts of activity happening,but I still believe the hotel itself provides enough safety.Durban is a city of mixed environments.There's nothing Albany can do but to be an oasis...Awesome place to...

The staff were very helpful and the room and bathroom were spotless. Yes the entrance is right near a night club and it felt very dodgy but hey you are in the middle of the city centre! The Lindt chocolate on the pillow was a lovely touch for a hotel that was very inexpensive. The flat TV with DSTV and... More

While the hotel is quite close to the ICC and definitely within walking distance, it is definitely not located somewhere safe. The alleyway in which the entrance is very dodge and seemed to contain a drug/prostitute place. I did not feel safe at all (especially being a woman) and the parking also closes just before 12am. The room smelled stuffy... More

Well appointed real estate. Very close to the harbor, beach, museum, market and Wharf restaurants. The hotel is an old property well maintained and functional with comfortable rooms. Quite ordinary but functional

While nothing special, the Albany is a convenient, clean, and safe place in downtown Durban just across from the City Center. A decent filling breakfast is included. Museums and markets are nearby and buis service gets you to many of the Durban sights along the beach front.
