We enjoyed our stay and will recommend to anyone who is looking for accommodation. Only negative thing was the neighbourhood, when arriving at night the area looked shady but the hotel made up for it.

Very modern, clean and neat with extremely friendly staff. Thank you very much for making it a memorable weekend.

Protea Hotel Umhlanga

8 Very good

Based on 38 reviews

Excellent stay will certainly return. the staff were great and helpful. On site parking was a bonus but they should not charge, but at 50 Rand a night not a great cost for secure parking.

The location was ideal being near all the bars, shops and beach.

Protea Hotel Edward

8.1 Excellent

Based on 37 reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Protea Hotel Edward. The room was comfortable, and it was great to have a balcony to enjoy the weather and vibe of the beachfront.

The location is spot on, and the meals were enjoyable. The best though was the experience with the staff. The reception were welcoming and helpful, the serving staff in the restuarant and barman were all friendly and attentive. The best however were the concierge staff who were incredibly helpful, from providing an efficient valet service with my car, helpful with suggestions and organizing activities etc. Although this is an older hotel, it has everything you need, is very well located, but the staff also made the experience for me. I will definitely stay again.

Gooderson Tropicana Hotel

7.5 Very good

Based on 77 reviews

Stay at the hotel was a two part series. Room is big enough, but the room itself needs to be modified and brought up to date with modern times.

Staff were Awesome in every way from getting a taxi, to directions and suggestions. Overall appearance was excellent! Sanitation was excellent in the main lobby and in the rooms. The rooms had an A.C unit that was mounted over the door, which was very ineffective. The windows had to remain open to keep it cool, but made the room very noisy due to the traffic and street noises that were going on down below the room window. The restrooms were very clean. T.V's need to be upgraded. They are still using televisions that need to be manually turned on then may operated b a remote. The batteries that were in the remote for my room were dead, so it was a mute point. I am actually shocked that the hotel was using a physical key to open the doors. The locks should be switched over to the plastic card key system. It might cost a little up front, but provides a better sense of security for the hotel guest and in the long run, provides better security. The Breakfast was awesome and the meals for lunch and the bar were excellent. The only suggestion that I would have is for the bar be capable of making cocktails like daquari's and other drinks as such. The hotel is located next to the beach and a lot of people would like to have a nice drink with fruit and an umbrella in it.

The Concierge Boutique Bungalows

8.9 Excellent

Based on 32 reviews

I highly recommend Boutique Bungalows. I wasn't able to stay very long, but I was able to enjoy one afternoon and evening of stay.

The staff is helpful and friendly, the food is delicious, unique, and near-gourmet, and the bedrooms are absolutely lovely and unique. Even the bathrooms are a lot of fun. The shower is sort of open in the room and the showerhead is in the ceiling (great for couples). Oh! And several of the rooms also have beautiful little back patios filled with luscious plants and comfy seating. They also host evening activities (singers, etc), which tend to be a lot of fun and a great way to meet people. And when I wanted to go to bed, I couldn't even hear the noise. Parking is gated and guarded by security. Freedom Cafe in Boutique Bungalows also seems to be a restaurant where locals go to eat and even to celebrate events. Please book here if you're staying in Durban!

Cowrie Cove Guest House

9.6 Exceptional

Based on 41 reviews

Attention to detail is key. Cowrie Cove gets this right on so many levels. From the stunning decor, delicious breakfast, vast selection of teas and home baked treats at tea time, gorgeous Charlotte Rhys toiletries and delux bath mats.

Cowrie Cove is a sensory sensation. One can only commend the lovely Caroline and the humble Qubus for ‘getting it so right’. We can’t wait to return. Ruth and David Tulip London UK

The location is in a quiet neighborhood yet close to whatever you would need in walking distance. A short taxi ride will take you almost anywhere in Durban.

The hosts are friendly and helpful. This is a place with many repeat clients of which i will become another.

Mythai Guesthouse

8.5 Excellent

Based on 20 reviews

I didn't spend much time at the hotel as I was out with friends and always came back late at night. Three things I think should be improved at the hotel: 1.

Parking space (depending on what time you come back, parking space is a bit congested) 2. Areas like the dining area and guest rooms should be off-bounds for the owner's cat (I like some pets but the cat is not one of them. When I had my breakfast the cat kept peeping at my plate from underneath table and the same night I found the cat resting in my bed as the windows were open) 3. The carpet in the room had an unpleasant smell (It smelt like it was soaked with water/cleaned just before I came in)

Riverside de Charmoy Estate Guest House

8.4 Excellent

Based on 22 reviews

This was not a satisfactory stay at all. We had experience difficulties with the parking. The rooms were not replenished with teas and coffee’s daily.

The rooms were not of the highest standard of cleanliness. In all honestly we had found insects (cockroach’s) almost every day and many of them. The breakfast was of utmost disappointment. As a result on the second day and the rest of our stay we did not even bother participating in the breakfast. The aircon in the one room was not working the whole stay(5 days) and this coursed the stay to be even more unbearable as the heat in Durban was in elevation. We could not make use of the facilities (pool and Lapa area) over the weekend as the Riverside de Charmoy Estate accommodated guest that coursed disruptions by having visitors that were rude and thoughtless and consumed alcohol from early hours of the morning. All in all, a very unacceptable and disappointing stay.

Our stay was great, a family owned guest house who were very friendly and helpful, helped us with our luggage and transported us to the hotel.

The gardens were lovely, it was enjoyable to walk around and look at all their various pets, the view of city lights at night were beautiful.

9.6 Exceptional

Based on 2 reviews

This was the perfect piece of heaven we imagined it to be. Location is perfect within the Kloof area and a short distance from Durban too.

Breakfast was delicious, loved the honesty bar policy and the overall relaxed and homely feel of the place. The story behind the property is charming but the house itself is one of the most beautifully designed and inspiring Iv ever seen. So peaceful and relaxing. Most importantly, Debbie the manager and her support staff are super friendly and helpful, and it was a pleasure to have met you all. Thank you, and I have already been spreading the word! Far beyond our expectations!

First day was a bit of a mess up, the accommodation we booked was not what received (But believe more agoda's fault than the owners, B&B showed on the booking form).

However was resolved the next day. The apartment had all the essentials we needed (self catering). Only down side was shower was small and drain was blocked and towels was discolored, but we didn't complain cause we brought our own. We didn't spend much time in the apartment, apart from bathing and sleeping. Served it's purpose.

Traveler impressions of Durban

I am a Cape Tonian & currently staying in Gauteng, i must admit for the short periods of time i have been in Durban, i considered relocating there.

For me it felt like I'm in both Johannesburg & Cape Town, basically the best of both worlds in 1 city! Durban rocks!!!!

London ,South Africa

Historical buildings are not well kept, the hotels and apartments around South beach all look dilapidated.

Besides this areas in general I was quite encouraged with the way the North Beach is being looked after and hopefully it remains the same and improves with time. More so Umhlanga is still the best area in this KZN. I really don't understand why they are limiting access to the beach during festive seasons when such funds will not be utilized to improve the status of the beach areas

Ekpenyong ,South Africa

Durban is good for all ages and cultures. There are a lot of places to go or just to relax at the beach.

Streaton ,South Africa

City with beautiful beaches, but centre of town is a mess and very dangerous with lots op young children just wlking around and doimg nothing.

de Beer ,South Africa

Easy to get around without own transport - easy walking distance to all beachfront activities, uShaka World, restaurants, Moses Mabida stadium, etc.

Travel into city easy on day bus pass. Walking beyond beachfront into city at harbour end not recommended - very rundown and urgently in need of a major upgrade.

STARCK ,South Africa

Good attractions - Ushaka Marine World, Mangrove swamps. nice malls for shoppers. City centre very busy and bustling, though museum and art gallery in city centre worth a visit

Ellary ,South Africa

OVERALL, DURBAN HAS FANTASTIC WEATHER AND A BEAUTIFUL BEACH LIFE. JUST AN ENERGY ABOUT IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE BEACH.

SECURITY IS JUST A CONCERN.

Xulu-Kasaba ,South Africa

Durban is disgusting and dirty thic city has nothing on Cape Town the Anc should take tips from the DA how to run a city

Nagia ,South Africa

this city has something for everyone no matter what age, religion, race, social standing - its probably the most underrated city in south Africa.

Hop in a mozzie cab or people mover and get discovering

Arbee ,South Africa

Visit Ushaka Marine world when in Durban. Beaches are lovely with hot Indian Ocean water and free from sharks and other dangerous marine creatures.

Makau ,South Africa

we truly loved the city, its clean at the north & south beach and most of the areas. Down town seems to be a bit unsafe, but we never had any problems.

North beach and Umchlanga are best location to stay for people traveling with family and children.

Vassanji ,Mozambique

the city is a nice travellers destination. every good beaches and nice places to see. funny city. but city needs to step up their game when it comes to house keeping.

area next to workshop mall need to be kept clean.

modupe ,South Africa

THIS IS THE CITY TO PARTY. The people are friendly, fun, crazy, inviting. All they want to do is have a good time and dance.

A under rated gem of a city for the youngsters

francis ,Australia

A place with a great deal of variety outside and inside activities sport sightseeing entertainment and relaxing great food fantastic beaches and great views.

LLOYD-JONES ,United Kingdom

Kenny ,South Africa

Lovely place to visit with great weather and lovely entertainment. Sports is available and sight seeing places are also available.

Mayeko ,South Africa

Easily accessible by car not far like Cape Town. The weather is also nice and warm. There is lot of fun for the whole family.

MOGOTSI ,South Africa

If I have to relocate and I m ask to choose the city, it will definitely be Durban. I t has the second biggest mall in SA.

Beautiful beaches that are well taken off. Lotz of culture.

Mbutuma ,South Africa

You need to have transport to move around Durban for all the site seeing. There is a lot to see and to do.

Van Reenen ,South Africa

A cosmopolitan city with a diverse ethnic and cultural background, converging into a unique lifestyle.

An emerging city, being placed as a future business, sporting and conferencing centre to rival the best in the world. It certainly seems to have the potential.

Nadasa ,South Africa

The best place in the world to go for a morning stroll, cycle or jog. A golden mile to showcase to the world.

Jugnarain ,South Africa

ITS FABULOUS! THE BEACHES ARE CLEAN WITH AMPLE PARKING SPACE, THE HARBOUR AND CRUISES, THERE IS LOTS OF SOPHISICATED NIGHTLIFE ACITIVY, LOTS OF MALLS AND SHOPS FOR SHOPPING.

THERE IS CULTURAL DIVERSITY AND THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING INTERESTING AND FUN HAPPENING IN DURBAN.

PULE ,South Africa

If you like the holiday atmosphere of lots of people around enjoying themselves, then Durban is the place.

If you like walking along the promenade or beach, people walk and ride bicycles as early as 4am . Due to the warm weather people swim even when raining.

Nunes ,South Africa

Durban city has a lot to offer. The beaches are very close to the city. The people of Durban are friendly and always willing to assist visitors of the great city.

There is a lot of attractions including but not limited to Ushaka Marine world. Here visitors can enjoy water sports and viewing all different types of fish and sharks in a tank. The beach is a long stretch and allows you the freedom to walk for kilometers before you realise how far you are from home/hotel. There is lots of fun along the beach, and a lot of restaurants too.

Mabuza ,South Africa

Best for families with small children; great marine park, good beachside promenade, great beach (good for paddling or for surfing but not good for swimming.

) Several large shopping malls for shopping for international brands; Victoria Street Market had dissappointing range of craft goods and many stalls with similar products; outlets in The Workshops charged outrageous prices for many of the same products. We found Durban to be safe and easy to get around, contrary to what we had been told.

Roche ,Ireland

Travel light and shop till you drop. Fairly good prices. Ushaka marine world and the Moses Mahbida stadium are places to visit.

The Golden mile is superb. Beautiful beach. Enjoyable waters waves,good for surfing. Nice Hotels. The North beach front a lovely place to stay.

Mburu ,Kenya

There is a wide variety of activities for families on the beach front although the rest of Durban appeared dirty and crowded.

The roads are a bit hairaising as there are many large taxis which have a will of their own. Once on the beach front it is great although security is always a concern.

Tait ,South Africa

Durban is a very attractive city with the best weather during Winter. The tourist attractions are wonderful and the harbour with the boat rides is something special.

It is also a city which can accommodate young and old for holidays.

le Roux ,South Africa

It is a great city, with lots of attractions, nice clean beaches and the Gateway is excellent for shopping.
