Guests are greeted with a friendly face and a clean environment. Outstanding value for the money and the most comfortable bed imaginable.

Beautiful place, value for money”
We loved the place. It's a beautiful old house with wooden floors and high ceiling. The rooms are very stylish and royally decorated. The resident monkeys paid a shy visit early morning and entertained us with their shenanigans. I would have loved at least a proper cup of coffee in the morning, but the restaurant is still closed. The staff was super welcoming and helpfull. Definitely value for money.

Excellent Value for Money”
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were greeted by friendly staff and instantly felt at home. The rooms are cosy, with almost every amenity you could need. The location is also super convenient and a stone-throw away from many local Durban hotspots. We would definitely recommend this gem.

Home from home”
Great staff and hospitality, however, May need to be upgraded and a deep clean on the carpets and also provide sufficient towels per room. They need to bring back breakfast for an even better review.

Tired”
The first room we were allocated was next to the stairs, very noisy and too close to reception. The next room we were put in was next to the recreation/smoking area, so opening the outside door was not an option unless one enjoys second hand smoke and loud chatter. The aircon didn’t work, only blowing out warm air; the basin tap was loose; single ply toilet paper provided; and the carpets were dirty and felt sticky. This is definitely not a luxury boutique hotel as sold to us.

Great spot”
I really enjoyed my stay at St James on Venice. The only negative was that the shower door was broken, but as for the rest it was great.

Very clean,friendly and helpfull staff. ”
Enjoyed my stay and all the people I was with young and old.do not worry if you do not know Durban the manager will tell you everything you want to know all places of interests ,dining places/restaurants to suit all the taste buds.We were driving but I saw the receptionist organizing a cab for one client.It is safe area especially for those who would want to have early morning /late walk or jog.

Good, bad and sad”
Good: a very nice room, clean, a comfortable bed, decent shower/toilet, and tea/coffee-making facilities. Manager and staff were helpful and friendly. The building is a wonderful old colonial structure. The location is convenient, yet quiet. Bad: I can find no indication on Agoda that the establishment is now halaal: no bar facilities, no wine, no standard breakfast. I have no problem with this, but it should be disclosed on the booking site. Sad: A hotelier once told me that owning a hotel is a great tax dodge, but that you'll see the signs when an owner is not a true hotelier: poor maintenance, inattention to detail, etc. He said too that a hotel that is not constantly trying to improve deteriorates. I knew the St James well and the signs are there: a bare light bulb on the staircase, dead bulbs in the reception chandelier, a rusty newsstand on the patio, wires hanging out of the room safe, cheap adapters. And the breakfast was heavy and greasy despite being pork-free.

Quaint with "Old World Charm"”
The Hotel is quite central and easy to get to. lots of restaurants and coffee shops near by. You do need a car, plenty of parking with security.The staff are very friendly and helpful.The hotel has "old world charm" with a colonial feel.The room we had didn't have a separate bathroom, it was part of the bedroom although the toilet did have a door on it.Also nice touches like fresh flowers and bedtime chocolate.

Nice hotel”
My husband and I recently stayed at the St James on Venice. Our room was lovely and big and the bathroom was part of the room in the open, which is okay if your not worried about who you are sharing the room with. The bed was very comfortable and big. The staff are in need of some hospitality training particularly in the dining and kitchen areas. We stayed 3 nights which included breakfast but the breakfasts are terrible.

Lovely, Quiet, perfect place to Stay in Durban”
Lovely serene place to stay, close to beach and shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious and beautifully done. Would be nice if there was a bath in the room and not just a shower. The staff are friendly and willing to assist with booking reservations etc. Would definitely book there again.
