Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani ★★★★

📍 63 Snell Parade, North Beach, Durban

"Worst experience ever when it comes to their breakfast set up!! I’m always opting to stay here when I travel with family or big friend groups. I went there on the weekend of the 28th of February 2026 and with friends and family. Just 6 of us, breakfast a Guy Named Teboho told us to split because they won’t be able to accommodate six people together! Hello why would we want to eat separately on a getaway! We complained he came with the manager to apologise and we got the table. This weekend we went again this time 8 of us same Teboho says the same thing! And his colleague manages to get us a table. Mind you I had told my husband to not go there and we agreed on giving them one last chance. Suggestion - management have a word with Teboho because he is so rude and dismissive !"

Suncoast Hotel & Towers Hotels in Durban

Suncoast Hotel & Towers

"First time in South Africa, first time in Durban on business, the hotel recommended by a South African friend, 30 kilometers from the airport, about 10 minutes drive from Durban Port. The location is quite convenient, there is a supporting entertainment city, dining, movies and casinos next to the hotel, and the internal passage connects to the first floor of the hotel. It takes 3 minutes to walk to the Sunshine Coast Beach. The sea view room I booked is a little compact, enough for one person, but it may be a little small for two people. Traditional British hotel service, clean and tidy environment, civilized and polite black waiters, especially for Chinese people, the hotel service here is impressive."

The Oyster Box Hotels in Durban

The Oyster Box

"My recent stay at The Oyster Box was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the service was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Every detail of the hotel is beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere makes you feel relaxed and spoiled at the same time. The staff truly go above and beyond to make guests feel special, and the evening turndown service was such a thoughtful touch. Waking up to the stunning views of the ocean and enjoying the overall charm of the hotel made the experience even more memorable. Thank you to the entire team for such a special stay—I’m already looking forward to my next visit."

Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani ★★★★
"Dear Hotel Manager and Maintenance Manager, My recent stay at the Elangeni Hotel was unacceptable. • Room Type: Elangeni Superior Room, 1 King Bed I checked into Room 1516 on Friday. The room was noticeably hotter than the passage and foyer. By Saturday morning it felt like a sauna. I called the front desk multiple times from the room with no answer and eventually had to use my own mobile to get through. Maintenance came up, claimed to have fixed the aircon, but nothing changed – and there was no follow-up. I was then moved to Room 1116, where the aircon was just as bad. At no point did anyone treat this with urgency or take ownership of ensuring I was comfortable. For a hotel of your supposed standard, this experience is far below what is acceptable. My comfort, rest, and time were all compromised."

Road Lodge Umhlanga Ridge ★
"It was a good stay. Room was small but clean. Not much storage place for your belongings, no safe and no hair dryer. It was very convenient as it is right next to Gateway."

The Royal Hotel by Coastlands Hotels & Resorts ★★★
"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."

The Capital Pearls Hotel ★★★★
"I recently stayed at The Pearls in Umhlanga and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist. I especially enjoyed the beautiful sea views and the convenient location close to shops and restaurants. Everything about my stay was pleasant, and I left feeling refreshed. I would definitely recommend The Pearls to anyone visiting Umhlanga."
