I have stayed in many City Lodges since inception in 1985 and have never been disappointed. City Lodge Durban carries on the fine tradition as far as I am concerned. I was on business in KwaZulu Natal recently and had to give presentations in Durban, Richards Bay and Pietrmaritzburg. This hotel was beautifully situated for all three areas. Security is... More

The location is really fabulous, however, for the price they charge for the establishment, I felt that it was overpriced. Service is non-existent, they do leave you alone, which can be very nice but Iack of room service, no lifts, you have to drag your suitcase up the stairs. The decor, especially the carpets are really dated, they remind you... More

I decided to stay at the City Lodge largely based on tripadvisor reviews. Even with that, I was very pleasantly surprised by the accommodations and service at City Lodge Durban. This is not a hotel for people who need their every need catered to - there are no porters, for example, and they encourage advance payment. Also, dinner service is... More

Unfamiliar with this chain of hotels, I really didn't know what to expect. The hotel is in an ok location - a few blocks away from the beach - extremely safe (security staff very visible), the hotel staff were very friendly and always looking to assist. This is certainly not a 5-star hotel, however, a very good, clean, comfortable and... More

Their moto is " a home away from home" and that is exactly what it is. Rooms are great and have allot of space. In a prime area and close to all the stadiums. Walking distance from the beach. Safe and secure parking. Airconditioned rooms. Overall excellent! More

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be an average overall experience. The check-in process was hassle free although the staff seemed more interested in chatting with each other than in assisting me with the check-in process. I was initially given a room on the lower level, but requested to have this changed to a room above... More

Stayed there on a business trip and all I needed was present. Rooms and bathroom were spacious and the hotel was fairly new. Breakfast was very nice. The hotel is located in a safe area and on walking distance from a huge shopping mall and lots of restaurants. I will stay there for sure on my next visit to Durban More
