Top Hotels in Durban with Spas

Upon arrival the receptionist was awesome, friendly, helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. The house keeping staff was amazing and so friendly, 2 of the days I had food poisoning from a well known restaurant in durban and house keeping where always asking how I was and did I need anything. On the whole the staff are great. The only negative and it's not the hotel is the noise at night from the car park by the beach with people drinking (with loads of police close by) and playing music. Garden Court however can be very proud of there staff.

I stayed during the Easter holidays. Unfortunately due to the flooding the hotel had lots of cancellations. However I made it down to durban without any problems. My room was on the 15th floor. Nice large room with great views over the Indian ocean. Even got a nice birthday surprise upon check in. Recommend the breakfast buffet. Big selection of nice full English breakfast and some tea's and coffee. All the staff are very welcome and friendly all over the hotel. Easy to get taxis, close to the bus stop and beach.Safe location.Will stay here again.

Booked 2 rooms for my wife and i and my dad over the christmas weekend. We stayed here 3 nights. Loved every moment of it. Breakfast was so awesome i didnt want to leave...spent an hour each day there.. my room was spotless and everything worked perfectly. The view from my room of the indian ocean is so good... i have stayed at this hotel many times over the years and i love that i am staying with someone i know, knowing what to expect , knowing, i will be greeted with a smile, knowing the awesome scent one gets when you enter the hotel lobby. Id like to thank 2 of my friends there natasha and bonga who are OUTSTANDING at what they do. I will be back end of april 2022.

Location is good enough if you are conducting business in and around the city of Durban and not expecting anything more than a very basic 3 star experience. Even so, the value for money is not great. Rooms are clean, but need a little TLC here and there. Colleagues said their beds were very uncomfortable, but I clearly got lucky, as my bed was very comfortable. If you order from the a la carte menu, be prepared to wait a long time for your food to arrive. Same applies to drinks orders. Seems as if they were still on skeleton staff post Covid, or maybe they were unprepared for the influx of people attending Indaba. IMO, City Lodge is much better value for money.

Our stay at Southern Sun Maharani overlooking Durban North Beach was a delightful escape. The room's design allowed us to enjoy breathtaking coastal views, seamlessly integrating with the stunning backdrop. The well-appointed interiors created a cozy retreat, enhancing our overall experience. The convenience of being close to Durban North Beach allowed for spontaneous beachside strolls. The hotel's commitment to exceptional service from friendly and attentive staff contributed to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The soothing sounds of the ocean and play of sunlight on the waves became captivating aspects of our stay. Southern Sun Maharani's location and service ensured a memorable coastal retreat. The overall experience left us eager to return to this exceptional beachside haven.

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Hotel overnight, during March, 2022. We used an elevator to get to our room, and noticed a large dead cockroach lying at the entrance to one of the three elevators. The entrance carpet of our room was damp, and the other carpets and easy chairs were shabby. The curtains were not ironed, and the windows were smudgy. The bathroom basin had a good share of mould around the top of the basin. The room fridge was totally empty, and after our trip to get to the hotel, we were thirsty, but there was no water bottles in the fridge. We complained at the front desk,and afterwards one of the staff brought us two small bottles of water and charged us Twenty-Five Rand per small bottle. There was a kettle in the room, with tea/coffee making facilities. The bedside lamps were strange, and were not matching at all. The shower and toilet were in good working condition. We took the elevator at about 09h30 the next morning to check out, and the cockroach of the night before, was still in front of one of the elevators. We decided to order coffee and scones at the coffee shop. The picture on their website displays a cake stand, filled with a variety of delicious cakes. The cake stand was empty. It seems that the regular business lounges were closed. The tragedy of this experience is that The Durban Royal Hotel has always been, over many years, one of the most famous and popular hotels in Durban, that was regularly used by businessmen and international travellers to Durban. It appears that there was a great lack of care or concern for guests at this hotel during our stay. This hotel is located in the central gardens square of Durban, and could be unsafe to walk around outside the hotel? Numerous tramps and beggars hang around. Sadly, we will not be staying there again.

This was my only sisters 70th birthday year and in the absence of us travelling overseas we booked a few local activities to make up for that. One of the highlights was an overnight package at SUNCOAST towers Hotel and her favourite overseas band SANAM tickets. Little did we know that this is what we would get. Currently they are advertising their sunscapes at R1045 per night so we were hopeful of a good room. She's 70 I'm 63 we had to walk a good 30 rooms down the passages right to the end as per diagram attached. The fourth floor and the view was the dumpster and back end of the hotel. The room dismally tiny with a sink and see through toilet and shower all in one square....ayyy hostel style or workers quarter style ..never again!!!!!! Sadly management didn't allow an upgrade they cited having no rooms available. I felt bad for only sister who comes a small mining town called Dannhauser in northern natal. I did not expect this kind of hotel accomodation Tsogo Sun. These rooms should be reserved for your gamblers who need a place to crash for a few hours....

Dear Sir/ Madam My family recently stayed at your ”hotel” Riviera Hotel 127 Victoria Embankment, Esplanade, Durban, 4001, on the weekend of Easter. I was horrified at the service we received. The General Manager/ or Front Office Manager, Hussain, refused to state his designation to us and lacks the number one skill needed by management, LISTEN. The service from the receptionist, lacked enthusiasm and courtesy. We were allocated a room that would be perfect for a horror movie. 1.The carpet in the room was laced with black dust, as though it hadn't been cleaned in weeks, to which Hussain's response was, ”we are situated on the coast, and dust comes in from a recent storm”. 2.The towels in the bathroom, which were once white, looked ready to be disposed off. We used our own face clothes and bought our own towels. 3.Nobody helped us to our room 105, we explored almost all the floors of the hotel, with our daughter who is mobility-impaired (disability walking). 4.We didn't get to watch the TV, as the signal was not strong enough, and hardly visible. 5.The rooms are extremely noisy, at all hours of the night. 6.There was no cutlery, microwave, fridge in the room, and only two glasses to service a family of 5. Needless to say I have advised my family and friends, never to stay at this hotel, it's a headache, zero hospitality experience, it will ruin their vacation. Dissatisfied Customer
