Silver Oaks Boutique Hotel
The stay at Silver Oaks Boutique Hotel was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully designed and welcoming. The room was clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff were friendly and helpful, though there were occasional moments when the front desk wasn’t immediately available, which was the only minor downside. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall excellent experience. The location is convenient, close to local attractions and transport links, making exploration easy. With its charming atmosphere and high-quality service, this hotel offers incredible value. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Durban.
The Concierge
I wasn’t too fond of the hotel’s location, but the price-to-quality ratio was actually quite good. While it’s not in the most convenient spot, the room amenities and overall service quality made up for it. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help with local recommendations—plus they even handed us a small welcome gift, which was a nice touch. If you’re okay with a bit of walking and don’t mind being slightly off the beaten path, this place offers solid value. It’s not perfect, but definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a cozy, personalized stay in Durban.
Mesami Hotel
The Mesami Hotel is a modern property with spacious rooms and a decent English breakfast. However, the quality of service is inconsistent—sometimes friendly and professional, other times abrupt and unfriendly, which can be off-putting. The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and very secure, but it’s strongly advised not to walk around outside due to nearby sensitive areas. Getting to downtown or even dining just a few blocks away requires taking a taxi. For better convenience and access to amenities, staying along Marine Parade would be a smarter choice.
Durban Manor Hotel & Conference Centre
I booked this hotel for my siblings—a boy and a girl—and their stay was absolutely fantastic. They loved the cleanliness of the room and felt completely comfortable sharing space, especially since budget didn’t allow for two separate rooms. The private bathroom was a big plus—it offered enough privacy and security, so they never felt exposed or uneasy. The bedding was fresh and clean throughout their five-night stay, and the room was professionally cleaned every day. The housekeeping team was friendly and attentive, adding to the positive experience. Check-in was smooth and stress-free, which was great since it was their first time staying in a hotel—no confusion, no delays, just a seamless process. Overall, the service, comfort, and attention to detail made their trip memorable. I’d definitely recommend this place for families or groups looking for a reliable, welcoming, and well-maintained stay.
Carrington Guest House
Carrington Guest House is an outstanding choice for anyone visiting Durban. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm welcome and the clean, well-maintained rooms. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great restaurants and local shops. My room was quiet, spacious, and had modern amenities that made my stay incredibly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, always friendly and helpful without being intrusive. What really stood out was the value for money—this place offers a high-quality experience at a very reasonable rate. Whether you're here for business or leisure, I highly recommend Carrington Guest House. It’s a hidden gem that truly deserves its top rating.
Nunuburd Lodge
The stay at Nunuburd Lodge was pleasantly quiet and clean, perfect for escaping the bustling beachfront. The staff were responsive and helpful whenever we had a concern—great service overall. However, the most disappointing part was the musty smell in the rooms, clearly indicating mold or mildew. This could be a serious issue for guests with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. While the location and hospitality are strong points, the room condition needs urgent attention. Would recommend improvements in cleaning and ventilation before considering it again.
The Crescent Guesthouses - Bnb/Self Catering
Honestly, I was about to think I was being too harsh until I read the other reviews — turns out, this place is seriously misrepresenting itself. The rooms look nothing like the photos online; broken windows, a wobbly bed, and sharing both the shower and toilet with others. The TV is located in a common area and only plays ads — no entertainment at all. The manager’s attitude was particularly unpleasant, making the whole stay even more frustrating. While the location is decent and close to public transit, the overall experience didn’t match the price or expectations. It’s hard to recommend, especially for travelers looking for comfort and privacy. Definitely not worth it if you’re after a clean, functional, and respectful stay.
Riviera Hotel Durban
Staying at Riviera Hotel Durban was a delightful experience from start to finish. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great dining options and local shops. The room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help with recommendations or assistance. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of comfort, convenience, and value in a hotel, but this one truly delivers. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Durban.
Sun1 Durban
I stayed just one night as I needed to catch an early morning bus the next day, and the location was perfect—right across the parking lot from the Intercape bus pickup point. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I felt safe throughout my stay. I was a bit concerned about potential noise from nearby traffic, but surprisingly, it was very quiet. The room offered basic but sufficient amenities: clean bathroom, comfortable bed, and complimentary coffee available at reception. Security personnel were visible outside the property, which added to the sense of safety. Overall, this is a no-frills option that delivers exactly what you need for a short stopover. If you're traveling through Durban and need a convenient, reliable place to rest before catching a bus, this hotel is a solid choice.
Road Lodge Durban
Staying at Road Lodge Durban was an absolute delight. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and professionalism—always smiling, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Everything felt clean and modern, from the linens to the bathroom fixtures. Location-wise, it's perfectly situated—just a short walk or quick ride to the city center, and surrounded by great dining options. I especially loved grabbing dinner nearby after sunset—it was such a vibrant and authentic local experience. This place truly delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Durban.
Garland Place
Staying at Garland Place in Durban was an absolute delight! The penthouse accommodation right on Point Beach offers breathtaking ocean views and a truly luxurious feel. The staff are incredibly welcoming and genuinely go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. Located just steps away from cruise ship terminals and Ushaka Marine World, it's perfect for travelers who want convenience without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're here for relaxation or adventure, this place delivers on every level. I couldn't recommend it more highly—truly a gem in Durban!
Roseland House
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.
