Centrally located in the heart of Durban, near all transport routes and attractions, Parkview Hotel is the ideal base from which to explore KwaZulu Natal. At Parkview Hotel, we pride ourselves in offering guests top facilities, services and meals. For unmatched hospitality and affordable rates, come stay with us. We welcome you to be our special guest in the hotel section of the Parkview. The establishment is partly utilised for holiday accommodation. We are situated one block from Central Beach, close to all tourist facilities and public transport. Breakfast is optional and vouchers can be purchased by guests on check-in. The beach strip is frequently patrolled by policemen, there are CCTV cameras and many lights at night. As everywhere else, there are several basic safety rules to follow. Avoid dark, deserted areas, and do not go out alone in the early hours of the morning. The promenade along the beach is safe to walk, but do not venture to the side and back roads of the hotels. Avoid the Point Road (aka Mahatma Gandhi Road) area at all times. At night, it is still a good idea to stick to the main streets and not go out at night unless you are very familiar with a particular area. Avoid the usually busy central business district, which is empty after dark. The harbour area is quite safe, as are the shopping malls and higher residential areas. The Point, the area between downtown and the port, is known for prostitution and cheap hotels has higher crime rate (although parts are currently undergoing a massive redevelopment). Avoid walking here alone or at night and take cars or metered taxis if you need to go to this area. Keys should be left at Reception when you go out and collected upon your return. Rooms are provided with a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and snackwich maker.
