Holland House B&B
The location is excellent—just a short walk from some fantastic restaurants and cozy cafés, perfect for exploring the local scene. The rooms are spacious and immaculately clean, making it a comfortable stay from start to finish. I especially want to highlight Elliot, the manager—he’s incredibly attentive, professional, and always ready to help with anything you need. His warm hospitality truly made a difference. This place offers such great value, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Durban.
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.
Coastlands Musgrave Hotel and Convention Centre
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. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and offer a peaceful retreat after a long day exploring Durban. With its prime location and top-tier service, this hotel delivers a truly memorable experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
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.
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.
Coweys Corner
Staying at Coweys Corner felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and incredibly comfortable. The service was exceptional from check-in to check-out, and every detail, from the cozy rooms to the fresh, delicious meals, exceeded expectations. Breakfast was especially impressive—local flavors, high quality, and beautifully presented. The location is perfect for exploring Durban, with easy access to public transit and nearby restaurants. It’s rare to find such a peaceful retreat with so much charm and convenience. I’ve already booked my next stay—this place truly delivers on comfort, hospitality, and value. Highly recommend it!
Soul House
We absolutely loved our stay at Soul House in Durban—100% would return next time! The location is perfect, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great local spots to eat and explore. Our host was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit—offering a ride to the beach when we needed it made all the difference. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a cozy vibe that made us feel right at home. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and welcoming. If you're visiting Durban, this is definitely a top choice for an authentic, friendly, and memorable stay.
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.
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.
Britannia Hotel
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.
Cube Hotel
Staying at Cube Hotel was an absolute delight! The location is fantastic—just a short metro ride from downtown, and there are plenty of great dining options nearby. The room was spotless, cozy, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, so I slept like a baby and woke up refreshed every morning. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. I especially appreciated the little touches like complimentary drinks and snacks upon arrival—so thoughtful! Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this place delivers excellent value and a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!
Luxe Suites Boutique Hotel
Staying at Luxe Suites Boutique Hotel was an absolute delight. The place is spotless and beautifully designed, with a modern yet cozy vibe that made me feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything from local recommendations to transportation tips. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience memorable. Located just minutes from the city center, it's super convenient for exploring Durban. This hotel offers incredible value and comfort. I’ll definitely be coming back.
