We were traveling from Kruger National Park toward Port Elizabeth and decided to stop in Durban for one night. Honestly, we were a bit overwhelmed by the size of the city at first, but Ridgeview Lodge made our stay absolutely seamless. The staff went above and beyond—anticipating our needs before we even asked—and helped us unwind completely. The cozy, well-maintained rooms offered a peaceful retreat after a long day on the road. We were able to rest comfortably and continue our journey at 2:00 AM with zero stress. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality in a small lodge setting, especially in a bustling city like Durban. The location is convenient, the atmosphere is warm, and the attention to detail truly stands out. If you're passing through Durban, this is definitely the place to stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this place delivers excellent value and a welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

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.
