Lovely hotel, noisy location
Hotel was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful, parking and hotel felt very secure, great breakfast.
Downside was room location, there was very loud music from cultural events playing from the exhibition centre each of the 3 nights, very disappointing as we have a child land we all had problems sleeping before the curfew

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.

It’s a beautiful hotel. I understand since Covid they had been closed till last month so a lot of work is being done to get things running. Some few things may not be working well but generally I loved the place. Their restaurant meal has so many options especially for breakfast. Chefs are all very friendly and ready to get you something of your choice which is not necessarily on the menu for dinning or lunch options. The staff are great from waiters and waitress in the restaurant to all staff in the lobby to room service. I was treated like a queen. Thank you Hilton. They are my best option for hotels in any country unless there’s none☺️

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.

Wonderful staff
I spent one night at the Hilton and chose that Hilton because it was close to the cruise port where I was joining a ship the next day.
The hotel arranged a driver to collect me from the airport who was exceptional. My luggage was lost and the flight was late and he waited for me and was absolutely charming. The staff at check in were so polite, kind and personable. There wasn’t a single member of staff who did not greet me every time I saw them.
The hotel is spotless. I was told by one member of staff it was an old hotel but my room was beautiful and big. I recently stayed in a 4 star hotel in london which was a third of the size and four times the price.
As I had no luggage I was pleased to see the Crabtree and Evelyn products.
I asked the advice of where to go shopping and the front desk sorted an uber for me. I had a lovely meal in the evening and the breakfast was good with lots of variety.
To be honest I travel all the time and it was great to feel completely safe as a solo traveller and to be in a really spotless environment. Sadly as I had no luggage I couldn’t use the gym or pool.
The other Hilton is near the amazing Mall I visited but I wanted to be near the cruise terminal and could literally see my ship from my window.
The staff make the hotel and are a credit to the Hilton brand.

A hotel like Hilton should provide fresh orange juice automatically to all it’s customers and not artificial juice. For the rest, all was great at the Hilton. Also very friendly staff, especially at the restaurant and reception desk. Thanks to all of you !
