Frommer's Review
This grand venue -- the only part that remains of the original Royal Hotel -- is one of the most romantic in Durban, and the perfect place for a candle-lit dinner. Plush velvet banquette seating, high ceilings with chandeliers, antique dressers, and stained-glass skylights create a luxurious ambience, with old-style service in a class of its own. The menu is more contemporary than the setting, including the likes of a wild mushroom ravioli topped with poached egg and hollandaise sauce, or pot roast lamb shank on a Parmesan and poppy-seed risotto.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
