          Avondale boutique hotel is awesome”

          From the minute we walked in, we were greeter with smiles. Super friendly receptionist. The room was neat and had everything needed. The location is great. The complimentary breakfast was the ultimate highlight. Definitely will be going back

          Beautiful Gem in a Prime Location!”

          A cosy and well furnished hotel in a prime hotspot in Durban. Staff are friendly, the rooms are beautiful and there is a wonderful functioning restaurant in the facility.

          Great stay at Avondale Boutique Hotel”

          We were very pleased with the hotel and amenities, parking was no issue either. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was great. As Muslims, it was a pleasant surprise to find the restaurant was strictly halaal. Cleanliness was good and staff helpful. The only negative things worth mentioning are the noise levels in the 2 King Suites we had, the racket from the upper rooms was pervasive. Also, at the time of booking, we didn't realise the King Suites were situated in the main house and opened directly onto the reception area which did not lend itself to privacy. The safe in one of the King Suites did not work either and there was a slight damp odour in the other suite. Overall, we have no hesitation recommending the hotel and would definitely stay there again but would perhaps request rooms not in the main house.

          Overbooked and very badly managed”

          Overbooked. First blamed Agoda. Then left me in filthy 3* property. Had to insist on a taxi as they expected me to ‘walk just 6 mins down the road’. Got back there next morning and finally got transferred to equal rating hotel. But no word of apologies nor bit of comoensation.

          The staff are absolutely fantastic, but the cleanness of the room was bad and food expensive.”

          The staff was absolutely amazing, safe parking and beautiful from the outside. The room inside wasn't that clean, full of dust, bathroom light not working, an empty bear can was found behind the dressing table, dressing table plugs weren't working and holes and marks on the pillow cases and sheets. I won't recommend any friends or family to visit. Once again the staff is amazing.
