Every year my colleagues and I attend a trade fair in Durban, and for the past nine years we have enjoyed the hospitality of City Lodge Durban. Apart from the obvious reasons like location, size of the property (I prefer smaller hotels to large ones) - what I believe needs to be mentioned and emphasised in a review like this,... More

The environment is good and very relaxing hoever the food/dinner service is very poor as one type of meal is served every day and thats unhealthy however the choice of ordering from the outside restaurent is almost disastrous as the delivery men arrive with cold food and wrong orders and thats terrible especially when you are hungry and you have...

I had just had a horrible night at another hotel so I switched to this hotel. This hotel made up for that. They booked me into a clean room and the food was great. I loved the surroundings. It is within walking distance to the ICC. I'm definitely taking my family there. I love hotels that are not in skyscrapers.... More

I was here a few months ago, but now it seems like service is a bit worse. You cant charge room service to your room, and Mr Delivery doesnt even have wireless card machines. Need to get with the times.

Stayed for two nights. The big plus for me was that they have a free, gated and guarded car park. The hotel is good, rooms are clean and comfortable and the bar/restaurant serves great food, but from a limited menu. Had breakfast and dinner there. The location is great for anything in Durban (driving - I did not walk anywhere)... More

This is a nice, modern hotel, poorly located in a part of the city where nobody walks after dark and no restaurants or otehr attractions are available. It is an economically-convenient alternative for those attending a conference at the international congress centre, located three blocks away. The ocean front is also a few blocks away, but nobody walks to get... More

Nothing spectacular the lack of any facilities like restaurant etc is a negative but because of location there are many places next door. For a short stay its a good place longer term its lack of facilities make it less enjoyable. Having to go out... More

The hotel receptions / foyer seems fine and modern. however a different scene awaits you once you enter the bedrooms, which are extremely dated. Rooms lack any modern finishings and to be honest the make-up, finishings, bedding etc seems very old, the fact is they are old. If you are into new modern rooms and designs then this is not... More

This was just a quick trip and a one night stay, but it was the first time I'd stayed in a City Lodge for some years. The standard of the hotel seems to have remained the same, memory permitting. The room was standard and up to scratch and the only gripe would be the time it took to check in.... More
