We only spent one night at the gateway hotel, due to a last minute extension of our holiday. We were quite surprised at how stunning the rooms are, breakfast was good, staff were friendly, location was good, free wifi, however it was quite noisy in the early morning on the street side and the parking was a issue. We arrived... More

Calls itself a hotel, more like a night club! One does not expect to have to endure heavy dance music beating practically in the next room. I would not recommend this hotel at all! Upon asking the front desk to have the music turned down, the music is in fact turned up and we are informed that it will be... More

My boyfriend and I love visiting all new hotels and restaurants in Durban. We love the sun and beach and all things Durban! we visited Gateway Hotel in December and we loved the place. The room was great! We stayed indoors mainly and enjoyed lying in and being in no rush. The bathroom was huge and was just such a... More

Wow, was not so sure what were going to get by booking a hotel joined to a shopping centre, but it was a very good experience. The hotel was very well decorated, exceptionally clean and the rooms were very well equipped. The staff bent over backwards to make sure we had a good stay. The big bonus is the roof... More

I had the pleasure of staying at the Gateway Hotel for 5 days last week while in Durban at the Tourism Indaba. My room was very comfortable, I particularly enjoyed the bath in the bedroom, good fun laying in the bath and watching TV after a busy day of meetings. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the breakfast buffet... More

I recently stayed at this hotel when I had to go to Durban for work. the room was comfortable and the direct link from the hotel to the Gateway Mall was great. The hotel is also well situated for a 15 to 20 minute drive to the airport. The staff at the hotel are very friendly. Just a pity I... More

My organization held a four-day meeting at the Gateway Hotel in the first week of May 2013 and we were treated to one of the best Conferencing experiences we have had country-wide. Our rooms were ready on our arrival first thing in the morning, as opposed to the general two o' clock check-in which made us feel instantly at home,... More

Checked in on Wednesday 24 for a two night stay. While the staff are very friendly, they had no record of my dinner club Corporate card even though we have a corporate agreement with Three cities Group. Paid for the stay on my private card to get things going. This was the first time I was put on the Gate... More

Stayed here for a few business days and decided to stay weekend. Nice setup. Very modern rooms. Top floor pool area was quiet and good for getaway. Close to Gateway centre for food and shopping. There was a conference on the Friday I was there but away from main areas I was in. Enjoyable.
