“Still a good buy and the host is friendly and helpful”
We needed breakfast and a shuttle that connects to the room and other building amenities like the pools; instead, there was no breakfast and no shuttle service.

The location is spot on. A privately owned apartment inside the Capital Hotel offered a cheaper rate than the hotel itself, making it great value. Host Mr Vibhav was amazing—he checked on us constantly and ensured we got everything we asked for. Cleaner Sibongile did an excellent job, thoroughly cleaning the apartment and following up after she finished. Mr Vibhav even answered phones at midnight to give us extra access codes; although I think estate access should be via an access card, he made sure we had no problems. The apartment was extremely clean, spacious, had all the utensils, a nice big KingBed, and a cute balcony. We loved our stay and would recommend it to a couple or a couple with two young kids. The only suggestion is to make it even more comfortable: the hotel rooms have been revamped to a new modern look, so a refresh for the apartment would help. The cupboards look tired, and there’s room to add a lounge with day beds and ottomans. More wall art, pictures, and plants—live or artificial—in pots would add charm. Two basins in the bathroom instead of one would be nice, and access to the Zimbali Estate should use a tag or access card so guests don’t need to ask the host for entry/exit codes.

The host was extremely helpful, the apartment is inside a 5‑star hotel and offers 24‑hour room service along with access to all the capital hotel’s facilities.

The location was good, but the booking should clearly state that this is a private host apartment, not managed by the Zimbali hotel, which means there is no housekeeping during the stay. The room did not meet hotel cleanliness standards: there was dust, hair everywhere, and we were only given one key for two adults, which was inconvenient. The room only had a cooling system and no heating, so even though it was December in KZN I felt cold most of the time; the apartment was damp and uncomfortable.
