3-Star Hotels in Durban

I recently stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Umhlanga, Durban and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is perfectly located, close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping spots making it very convenient whether you’re visiting for leisure or business. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made the stay even more relaxing. One of the highlights each morning was the amazing breakfast—fresh, delicious, and with a great variety to choose from. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional reception staff. They were incredibly warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. As a lovely surprise, they even upgraded me to a sea-view room because it was my birthday, which made my stay feel extra special and memorable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great service, a prime location, and excellent hospitality. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Umhlanga!

A lovely stay at this hotel. I had a view of the sea from my window The staff went out of their way to make me comfortable There is only breakfast served at restaurant but there are many restaurants around the hotel with a variety of cuisines that more than make up for it

The room is quite big, but the sound insulation effect is average. Maybe it's because it's close to the road, so it's a bit busy at night. There are many choices for breakfast, which is very rich. The hotel has direct access to the gateway mall, which is very convenient for shopping and eating.

I loved my room . It was quite spacious and very neat and elegant. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and they would do housekeeping everyday. I will not hesitate to stay With them again next time am in Durban.

Very nice Location in Durban CBD closed to the beach approx 1km. Long history hotel. Professional and friendly stuffs with perfect services.

The hotel is very beautiful with a spacious view. The breakfast was delicious!! Moreover, the location of the hotel is the best part because it’s a walking distance to gateway mall. I’ll definitely come back.

Had a comfortable stay, I only stayed for 1 night as I had an early flight the next morning. The place is clean and the beds comfortable. They provide a shower gel/body wash and bath towels. The only issue was the toilet which made a whistling noise.

It is a very beautiful, neat, clean more that what we expected, we enjoyed our stay there and I certainly going to the same place for our next vacation. The service was out of very good, unfortunately we ddnt get the chance to eat there.but next time we make sure we do 😊😊😊

Conveniently located near stores and service station. The room was okay, for a 3 star establishment, I must admit I expected the staff to at least speak English well and the the room to be dust free. The bathroom is tiny and rather claustrophobic. 

I like the place it has parking spaces, it’s very clean and staff members are friendly. Very convenient and not far to other amenities
