This property was really nice! The staff was super friendly and helpful and it has great onsite amenities such as a day spa, pool, and pretty decent dining. The area around is a little sketchy but Durban is on the more developing side of living.

Great place by the beach.
The hotel is right on the beach with excellent access to it and a great view. The beach is very busy and can be noisy, so maybe not the best place if you’re after a quiet get away. But, if you want a hopping place, it’s that. VERY helpful people who went out of their way to make sure our stay went well.

We were in Durban for a junior tennis competition. So there were a few of us staying at the hotel. I had read the reviews about staff friendliness; but I suspected that they might be slightly untrue, given that the reviews were always so good. Oh my god - the staff are amazing. I have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world - and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is just as fantastic. Yes - sure - there are more presentable parts of the beach further north up the coast - that is probably true - however, this area is just fine. Much more exciting. Much more in touch with the locals. And the hotel could not get closer to the beach. In fact - I think it is the closest hotel to the beach, in the whole of Durban. And all the rooms have sea views. And because the hotel literally looks onto the promenade - if you love watching people, you will not get bored at looking out of your window for hours on end watching the activity below. On top of it all - great restaurant and room service in house. Plus some more places to eat just minutes away. And having a full kitchen in the room is also a massive bonus. We can't wait to go back in a few months time.

Although the facilities and the room are great, it is the staff that made our stay. Nothing was ever too much and always eager to assist. Friendly and knowledgeable, have already recommended to my daughter who is visiting Durban in a month’s time.

The images online are deceiving. This property is deteriorating. Very very old and outdated. Not worth it considering that one can stay at a better hotel in a different area at about the same price!

Not too thrilled
The room and staff itself were great however, as daily cleaning service was not provided due to covid, we had to request for cleaning service at the start of our stay. In total I must have asked about 7 times for room cleaning, and when I called reception to find out why my room was not made up, they informed me that my room was not on the list despite me asking for cleaning over 5 times. Apart from that, when I called reception, 3 different people gave me 3 different times for when room cleaning commences. Wi-Fi did not work in my room for the duration of my stay. As the booking website classified The Palace as self-catering, I brought along my own food, however my room did not have a microwave and I had to go down to the hotel kitchen each time to warm my food-before 7pm as the kitchen closed at that time. I was not happy
