Suncoast Hotel & Towers
The service was excellent, and the room was spotless and well-organized—really made for a comfortable stay. That said, the bathroom and shower area are quite compact, and privacy is limited, which might be an issue for some travelers. Still, considering the great value and prime location near the beach, it’s a solid choice for a relaxing getaway. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and we’d definitely consider staying here again.
Hilton Durban
The Hilton Durban has been back in operation for a few months now after a three-year closure due to government policies during the pandemic. Despite the long break, the hotel remains in excellent condition with a soft, elegant ambiance that feels timeless. While the location isn’t ideal for walking around—Durban can be risky in certain areas and the hotel isn’t directly on the beach—the service is outstanding, truly making the stay memorable. The restaurant is on the pricier side, but the quality justifies the cost without feeling overpriced. The room itself is lovely—elegant, well-designed, and comfortable, though not overly extravagant. Overall, it’s a solid choice for travelers seeking refined comfort and reliable hospitality.
First Group The Palace All-Suite
Staying at First Group The Palace All-Suite was an absolutely outstanding experience—definitely deserving of a perfect 10/10. The location is fantastic: just a short walk to the city center and within easy reach of public transit, with plenty of dining options nearby, including lively night markets only a 10–15 minute stroll away. The suite-style rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, offering excellent privacy and comfort. I slept like a baby on the plush bed, and the air conditioning worked perfectly—ideal for South Africa’s warm climate. The bathroom is well thought out with a clean, dry-wet separation and high-quality fixtures. Staff went above and beyond—greeted me warmly, helped with luggage, offered personalized recommendations for local attractions, and even brought a welcome drink. Breakfast was a highlight: a diverse buffet with both Western and local dishes, fresh ingredients, and freshly ground coffee. Everything felt premium without feeling overpriced. Whether you're traveling for business or family vacation, this hotel delivers exceptional value and service. I’ll definitely be back.
The Edward
My stay at The Edward Hotel from February 19th to 20th, 2024 was truly pleasant. Upon arrival, a friendly porter helped carry my luggage from the car parked across the street—such a thoughtful touch. Check-in staff were welcoming and efficient, making the process smooth and stress-free. I opted for the hotel’s underground parking (at an additional fee), which came with good security advice from both the porter and front desk team—really appreciated those practical tips. While the hotel is located centrally along Durban’s beachfront, it's on the southern side, just one block away from the main city street. That corner does attract a mix of people, so if you're walking around, keep valuables like phones, wallets, or purses out of sight—tuck them under your clothes. Also, avoid wearing flashy jewelry or expensive watches. The room itself was spacious, clean, and featured a small balcony perfect for relaxing. I was initially concerned about being on the first floor and possibly disturbed by street noise, but I was pleasantly surprised—the room was well soundproofed, and there was no disruption during the night. I slept well, though this might differ on weekends. The air conditioning worked quietly and effectively. The bathroom had minimal amenities for a hotel marketed as upscale—only a tiny water bottle provided, and no chocolates upon arrival, unlike some nearby options where guests get treats and larger bottles. Since I brought my own 1.5L bottles, I couldn’t confirm if the small one gets replaced daily. Hot water from the shower was instant, which was a big plus. Wi-Fi was slightly unstable, but given South Africa’s ongoing load-shedding issues, that’s understandable. Food in the dining area was excellent—both lunch and dinner were delicious. Breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of choices, satisfying even the pickiest eaters. Overall, despite minor shortcomings in toiletries and connectivity, the hotel delivered strong value, great service, and a comfortable stay. Highly recommend for travelers seeking a quiet, convenient base near the beach.
Blue Waters Hotel
Staying at Blue Waters Hotel was an absolute delight. Just a short walk from the beach, the location couldn’t be better for those who love seaside vibes. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Every detail felt curated for comfort and convenience. This is definitely a top-tier choice if you're looking for a relaxing, hassle-free getaway in Durban.
Sica's Guest House
We recently brought a group of about 20 people to Durban, and choosing Sica’s Guest House turned out to be one of our best decisions. Carri-Ann kept in touch with us consistently before arrival, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. From the moment we stepped in, the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive—exactly what you want when traveling with a large group. We had dinner at the guest house, and the food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Breakfast was included and offered a great variety; they even happily made omelets on request. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for luggage and comfortable, firm beds that ensured a good night’s sleep. The shower heated up quickly and delivered strong water pressure—no complaints there. Overall, this was a top-tier experience from start to finish. A truly memorable stay, highly recommended for both groups and solo travelers alike.
Ridgeview Lodge
We were traveling from Kruger National Park toward Port Elizabeth and decided to stop in Durban for one night. Honestly, we were a bit overwhelmed by the size of the city at first, but Ridgeview Lodge made our stay absolutely seamless. The staff went above and beyond—anticipating our needs before we even asked—and helped us unwind completely. The cozy, well-maintained rooms offered a peaceful retreat after a long day on the road. We were able to rest comfortably and continue our journey at 2:00 AM with zero stress. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality in a small lodge setting, especially in a bustling city like Durban. The location is convenient, the atmosphere is warm, and the attention to detail truly stands out. If you're passing through Durban, this is definitely the place to stay.
Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat
Staying at Goble Palms Guest Lodge & Urban Retreat was an absolute delight. The accommodation is beautifully designed with a tasteful, modern touch, and the rooms are spotlessly clean—every detail feels thoughtfully curated. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful; they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, abundant, and delicious. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 5-minute ride from the beach and super close to Florida Road, where you’ll find a great variety of restaurants and local favorites. Whether you're here for relaxation or exploring the city, this place hits all the right notes. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Durban.

The Coastlands Musgrave Hotel and Convention Centre is an outstanding choice for both business travelers and tourists. Located just steps away from a variety of amenities, including restaurants, shops, and local attractions, it offers unbeatable convenience. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request—whether it’s recommendations for nearby spots or help with check-in logistics.

Staying at Roseland House was a delightful experience from start to finish. The room was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and felt very fresh—no unpleasant odors at all. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going the extra mile to make sure everything was comfortable, even offering help with transportation arrangements. What stood out most was the peaceful atmosphere—the hotel is tucked away in a quiet, green area, far from city noise, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. I enjoyed uninterrupted sleep every night. While there aren’t many dining options right on site, there are a few cozy local eateries within walking distance. The location is also convenient for getting around town, with easy access to public transit if needed. For travelers seeking a serene, low-key stay without compromising on comfort or cleanliness, this hotel offers excellent value. A truly peaceful retreat in Durban.
The Balmoral - Halaal
Staying at The Balmoral was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making every interaction feel personal and genuine. From check-in to checkout, their hospitality stood out—always smiling, helpful, and attentive without being overbearing. The hotel's location is ideal for exploring Durban; it’s close enough to the city center to walk or take a quick train ride, yet quiet enough to enjoy a peaceful stay. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained with modern amenities that make comfort a top priority. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches that made me feel at home. If you're looking for a reliable, welcoming place to stay in Durban, this is it—10/10 would book again!
McAllisters on 8th
My stay at McAllisters on 8th in Durban was generally positive. The hotel is conveniently located, just a short walk from the city center, and easily accessible by local transit. The room was spotless—cleanliness was definitely a highlight, with no signs of dirt or grime anywhere. However, I did notice a leaky showerhead that needed attention, and the main mattress had started to sag in the middle, suggesting it’s time for a replacement. The sleeper sofa mattress was particularly uncomfortable and felt quite grimy—definitely in need of a thorough cleaning. That said, the pool area was well-maintained and pleasant to use. Staff were friendly and professional—especially the housekeeping and security teams who made a good impression. The front desk, however, seemed understaffed at times, leading to longer wait times when checking in or requesting assistance. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, the hotel offers great value and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. I’d recommend it for travelers looking for a comfortable base in Durban.
