268 on Ridge Guesthouse ★★★

📍 268 Mazisi Kunene Rd, Berea

"This accommodation is basic but neat and comfortable. We arrived late in the evening but there was someone waiting to receive us. The garden rooms are small but we were just looking for a decent shower, toilet and a comfortable place to sleep. There is DSTV. The parking was fine and safe. Some items like furniture may need some repair or replacement. I can overlook the minor repair issues based on the need just to have a clean and neat place to sleep over"

Royal Palm Hotel ★★★★

📍 6 Palm Blvd, Umhlanga

The Edward ★★★★

📍 149 Marine Parade, Durban

"It's a hotel in the beachfront, a bit of outdated decor but the staff was great, room service was spectacular and we had a spacious room and very comfortable bed. I don't know what's up with hotels not providing a tv with clear channels and programmes?? The quality picture is terrible, we use smart tvs now I don't know why they aren't upgrading to that."

Pavilion Hotel Durban Hotels in Durban

Pavilion Hotel Durban

"Perhaps the room service ladies could be nicer. The attitude is not welcoming at all. Breakfast is just limited to two choices which I wasn't happy about because there was so much I couldn't even eat.. the front desk is ok. Lounge and bar looks good. Will I be going back there? My answer is only if I run out of options then I could. "

Protea Hotel Durban Umhlanga

"It's very close to the beach, very safe, I like it here. There is also a very delicious steak house nearby, and some seafood restaurants. There is food everywhere, very delicious, and the price is not high."

Suncoast Hotel & Towers Hotels in Durban

Suncoast Hotel & Towers

"The hotel is clean and smells good. It is in a good location with a direct enterance into Suncoast. The room we were given was not the room that was showed in the pictures. The room should have had a bathtub as seen on the pictures for the room on trip.com, but the room does not have a bathtub. It's very disappointing considering that I booked it for the bathtub. When I went to ask reception about it, all she did was say that it is trip.com's fault for using the wrong pictures. She then offered me a room with a bathtub, but we had to pay more. I didn't take her offer, how can they ask a customer to pay more when they made the mistake and have the product shown incorrectly? The room did not have toothbruhes. I had to ask at reception for two toothbrushes,they only gave me one and said that they will send another one to the room later. The toothbrush never came. At check in I had signed for room 327, but at that time the room was not ready. Eventually while we waited we got the key cards and it had two numbers written on the envelope- 327 and 329. 327 had a single line going through it so we naturally assumed the room is 329.The door didn't open when we inserted the card into 329 but it did open on room 327. While we were sitting in the room I was contacting trip.com's customer service and someone else just managed to open the door with their card. Later, the reception called us and told us to just stay in that room because they had messed up. There is some construction happening on the one floor of the hotel and it is an eyesore to look at from the upper level, tiles are removed there id furniture still there covered in dust. Overall, this hotel is extremely overpriced and the location is not enough to justify the highprice. Other hotels charge less and actually have rooms with bathtubs as advertised. Stay here if you are looking for disappointment and a money waster."

The Oyster Box Hotels in Durban

The Oyster Box

"Am Samke Phewa, My cousin Ntokozo and I just completed an incredible stay at the Oyster Box hotel( Checked in Wednesday the 2nd and checked out Friday the 5th June 2026) . What a wow!!! I would recommend it anytime any day. From the moment we drove in, the staff at the entrance was so helpful, with feel at home greetings, warm welcoming smiles while directing me to park, offloading our luggage and escorting us to the reception area, what a top to the T attention!!! I would like to extend my thanks to the Reception staff who welcomed us with complimentary drinks, treated us with professionalism and genuine care. A special Thank You to Nonto and manager( I've forgotten her name, beautiful dimpled young lady) at High Tea, they made us feel incredibly welcome and ensured we had a wonderful experience. A special Thank You to Julian, who chauffeured us for two conservative evenings. His friendly personality, immaculate vehicle, soft background music, and engaging conversation made every journey aa pleasure. We were also delighted by the thoughtful touches in our room, including the beautifully prepared decor and complimentary gifts made our birthday very special. Every staff we met with and engaged with during our stay truly understands the meaning of exceptional hospitality and they contributed in creating a very lasting memory for me and my cousin. Even though i have forgotten some of their names, you guys on duty during our arrival, breakfast room time, high tea time, by the pool side time, room service, am thankful to all of you for contributing in making our milestone celebration incredible. We looking forward into coming back again in the near future"

"The hotel is located in the heart of Durban. Pleasant location, friendly staff. Excellent restaurant, with pleasant, relaxing music playing in the evenings. The rooms are spacious, but the furniture is dated. There is a shower and bathtub. Hot water is available 24 hours a day. Daily cleaning. Good views from the windows."

"Pleasant stay - Monday and Tuesday 19 and 20 Feb 2024. Was greeted by a porter who assisted with suitcase from where I had parked my car across the road. Check in staff were friendly and efficient. I decided to park my car in the underground parking offered by the hotel which does come at an extra cost. Both porter and reception staff were realistic around security and gave good advice. The hotel while positioned "centrally" along the Durban beachfront is more on the south side and just one block away from the main street from the city centre and this street corner does attract all sorts of individuals. If going for a walk - make sure all valuables like cell phones / wallets/ purse are not visible - tuck these under clothes. Also don't wear flash jewellery or fancy watches. Room was spacious and clean - comes with a small balcony. I was somewhat concerned in being allocated a room on the first floor where I would be disturbed by noise from the street. This did not happen - room is fairly sound proofed and there was no disturbance at night, so slept well - but noting that I stayed on a Monday and Tuesday - not sure if the same silence would be experienced over a weekend. The airconditioner was silent and worked well. Bathroom was somewhat scanty with toiletries given that this is marketed as an upmarket hotel - in fact the Blue Waters - north of the beachfront has an offer more toiletries and gives guests chocolates and large bottle of water on arrival. No chocolate and the smallest bottle of water is provided which you find in the bathroom. As I did not make use of the small water bottle offered it is not known if this small bottle gets replaced each day. I brought in my own water bottles as a I prefer 1.5 litres. Hot water from shower is almost instant so all good from that point of view. Wifi was a little unstable but that is because of load shedding that is being experienced by country. The food from the dining room / restaurant if you want to eat lunch or dinner at the hotel is good and delicious. The breakfast buffet is quite varied with lots of choices."
