I booked Hilton Durban after seeing it listed among the top hotels in the city, and it definitely lives up to its reputation, especially if you’re in town for business or attending a convention. The hotel offers a long list of amenities, including an impressive unlimited breakfast and dinner for around R150, a spa, salon services for nails and hair, a pool, and room service available until 10pm. Convenience is truly at your fingertips. My room was spacious, clean, and well-designed, with a firm and comfortable bed that made winding down easy. The WiFi could be stronger, but it was stable enough for general browsing and work. One thing to note is the location. While it’s ideal for conferences and business stays, the surrounding area isn’t very walkable and there isn’t much to do nearby if you’re hoping to explore on foot. That said, the staff were exceptional—warm, welcoming, and full of suggestions for things to do and places to visit around Durban. Overall, I’d recommend Hilton Durban for business travelers or anyone attending an event in the area. For leisure travelers looking for restaurants, nightlife, or a more scenic setting right outside the door, you may need to Uber around, but the comfort and service here make the stay worthwhile.

Lovely hotel but a ways to go

Recently reopened, it’s very clean and in good shape. Great location for my needs and beautiful, quiet, comfortable room. What shows that it’s been closed for a period of time are the level and quality of service. Restaurant and housekeeping staff are very friendly and earnest although apparently inexperienced. There’s not the same welcoming vibe by the guys at the door and concierge desk that was renowned in years past. Check in was not great as my room wasn’t ready until well after 3pm and then there was some confusion. The food is not up to the standard it was at before it closed and the selection and availability of restaurant hours is reduced. They are clearly trying to get up to speed and we’ll likely give them another go next year.

A nice hotel but the service has a lot to be desir

Upon check-in we had quite a few problems One of them was down to a very rude stuff member behind the counter. They told us to sit down and wait. When we eventually got our room we found that someone had already been in the room and had left all their possessions in the room we reported this to staff and admittedly they did upgrade us to a better room and gave us executive lounge access which improved our perception of Hilton however we found that the room service was particularly slow especially when ordering food to the room so honestly I don't think we would stay Hilton again based on that experience we paid a significant amount of money for a 3 nights stay. We obviously expected better for a large chain like Hilton it was really disappointing the only positive thing I have to say is that one of the reception staff was very helpful later on in the week.
