This visit was truly disappointing. I’ve been coming to this hotel for years and always enjoyed the excellent food and service, but this recent experience was a complete letdown. The bar staff were arrogant and completely dismissive, taking ages to serve even simple drinks with no courtesy. Management seemed indifferent—no apology, no effort to resolve issues. It felt like the place had gone downhill fast. I can’t imagine returning or recommending it to anyone. This is not the Britannia Hotel I once knew. A real shame.

Bayside Lodge 108
Our first night was definitely disappointing—the room was small and lacked proper airflow due to its location, making it uncomfortably hot. However, we were truly blessed with an incredible staff member named Mbali, who stepped in and kindly arranged a better room with a balcony. This made all the difference! We were able to stay for the remainder of our booking and even celebrated my husband’s birthday on Sunday—exactly why we booked this trip in the first place. Her kindness turned a stressful start into a memorable experience. The hotel’s overall charm, combined with such exceptional service, makes it worth recommending. I’m already considering returning.

Luxe on Ridge Boutique Hotel
We recently stayed at Luxe on Ridge Boutique Hotel for a friend's wedding in Durban, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—especially Shanice, who went above and beyond to help us multiple times. I accidentally left behind my AirPods after check-out, and she took the time to locate them and return them to me—truly exceptional service. The only minor suggestion would be to expand the breakfast menu with more vegetarian options, as there weren’t always enough choices available. Otherwise, the hotel’s ambiance, attention to detail, and overall comfort made it a standout stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Durban.
