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.
Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani
The staff throughout the hotel were incredibly friendly, especially those at the bar on the second floor—so welcoming and genuinely helpful. Every interaction felt warm and personal. The food was outstanding too—fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. From check-in to checkout, everything was top-notch. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of hospitality, comfort, and great dining. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting 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.

The room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a comfortable bed that made for a truly restful night’s sleep.

Given how much I received for the price, this stay far exceeded my expectations. It’s not just a hotel—it feels like a home away from home.

If you're visiting Durban, this is definitely a top choice for an authentic, friendly, and memorable stay.
Gooderson Tropicana Hotel
I booked a three-night stay at Gooderson Tropicana Hotel after being turned down by another five-star property, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with the decision. My entire experience was absolutely outstanding—from the moment I arrived. The hotel’s location is perfect: just a short walk from the beach, with stunning ocean views from the rooms. The staff felt genuinely welcoming, like they were all part of one big family—always smiling, helpful, and attentive without being overbearing. Breakfast was exceptional—fresh, diverse, and delicious. Every detail, from the clean, well-designed rooms to the serene atmosphere, made this a truly memorable getaway. I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, high-quality stay in Durban.
Coastlands Durban Self Catering Holiday Apartments
My stay at Coastlands Durban Self Catering Holiday Apartments was extremely disappointing. Early in the morning around 6:45 AM, I realized my phone had been stolen from the room. It turned out a stranger had entered without permission—apparently because staff had told us not to lock the door due to a faulty key card issue. This lack of security is unacceptable. Later that day at around 1 PM, I encountered the manager again and he acted completely unaware, even though he clearly saw me earlier. His response was dismissive and unhelpful. To make matters worse, I also found cockroaches inside the room—this is a serious hygiene concern. The combination of theft, poor management, and unsanitary conditions made this experience truly awful. I won’t be returning, and I strongly urge the hotel to address these critical issues immediately before more guests suffer the same frustration.
Albany Hotel
My stay at Albany Hotel was absolutely wonderful and completely worth the price. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Durban. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the city center and local attractions. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches like the complimentary refreshments and the quiet, well-maintained environment. Even though it’s on the higher end of the price spectrum, every aspect of my experience justified the cost. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a comfortable, memorable home away from home. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Durban.
