Royal Ushaka Hotel Morningside ★★★

📍 298 Percy Osborn Rd, Berea

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were very welcoming, frand always willing to assist. The hotel is conveniently located close to all amenities, making it easy to get around and enjoy the surrounding area. The sea views were absolutely stunning and added to the overall experience. It was lovely spending a night at the hotel, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay 😊 "

Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani
8.2 (50 reviews)

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 !"

📍 151 Snell Parade, North Beach, Durban

"Very good, hygienic"

Blue Waters Hotel
8.6 (90 reviews)

Blue Waters Hotel ★★★★

📍 175 Snell Parade, Marine Parade, Durban

"It's my first time to Durban on a business trip. The hotel is by the sea and you can see the sea from the balcony. The hotel doesn't have a gym, but you can run, ride a bike, walk your dog on the seaside road at the door. There are also many policemen, so it's relatively safe."

The Balmoral - Halaal
7.9 (59 reviews)

The Balmoral - Halaal ★★★★

📍 125 Marine Parade, South Beach, Durban

"Pros: Nice room, beautiful ocean views from the window, good location, breakfast (they even serve ice cream), and the staff is helpful (for example, with wine purchases). Breakfast is on the terrace with a view, so you can sit there during the day. Cons: 0.3L bottles of water. The shower faces the wall, making washing a real challenge. The bathtub faucet is practically glued to the wall and very low. There's some street and hallway noise. Overall, good."

Parade Hotel
8.3 (47 reviews)

Parade Hotel ★★★

📍 191 O R Tambo Parade &, Marine Parade, North Beach, Durban

"First visit back to Durban in 10 years. While disappointed with the town I enjoyed my night in this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. Certain things need attention such as the lift and the noisy air-conditioning but breakfast was better than expected to make up for it😉"

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."

The Balmoral - Halaal ★★★★
"An absolute gem of a hotel in Durban! The hospitality was 100% top-tier from the moment we arrived, every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially with organizing a special birthday surprise for my son. I also love the location; it is so central and near to everything you could possibly need. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable. The Balmoral will definitely be my second home whenever I visit Durban!"
