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!
Bayside Hotel 116 West Street
Absolutely loved my stay at Bayside Hotel 116 West Street! The location is perfect—right by the waterfront with stunning ocean views from the room. I was able to catch a quick train into downtown with no hassle, making it ideal for exploring Durban. The room was clean, well-maintained, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—woke up feeling refreshed every morning. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit, even offering local tips on where to eat nearby. There’s a great mix of dining options within walking distance, including some authentic South African spots. Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be back.
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!

I especially appreciated the quiet ambiance and the cozy bed, which helped me sleep like a baby after long days exploring Durban.

Would absolutely book again and highly recommend this gem of a hotel.
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.

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.
Acorn B&B in Durban
Staying at Acorn B&B in Durban felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and truly peaceful. Nestled high in a scenic neighborhood just steps from the beach, the property is surrounded by lush tropical gardens that create a serene oasis. The rooms are spotless, thoughtfully maintained, and feature spacious, comfortable beds that made for restful nights. What truly stood out was the incredible hospitality of Mr. Don and Ms. Barbara. They went far beyond expectations—offering personalized meals based on my preferences, giving me rides to local markets, and making sure every detail was taken care of. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience unforgettable. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a heartfelt retreat with soul.

The apartment-style layout offers plenty of space and feels really cozy, with a fully equipped kitchen that made cooking meals a breeze. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. What stood out most was the incredible value—clean, well-maintained, and perfectly located. I’ve stayed in many hotels across South Africa, but this one truly deserves a perfect 10. I’ll definitely be coming back.
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.
