The hotel pairs historic character with practical touches: free Wi-Fi, parking, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. With 24-hour reception and security, it suits both business stays and weekend breaks in the city.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Victorian style, faithfully restored — Rooms and common areas follow the original architecture of the converted houses, with period details guests call beautiful and charming.
  • Breakfast worth waking up for — Served in a gazebo or via room service, guests repeatedly mention the variety, quality, and generous portions.
  • A staff that goes the extra step — From finding forgotten earpods to discreet, attentive service, reviews consistently highlight helpfulness and warmth.
  • Right on Florida Road's dining strip — The hotel sits on one of Durban's liveliest streets, with a range of restaurants, bars, and shops within easy walking distance.
  • Free parking and 24-hour reception — Practical conveniences that take the stress out of arriving by car or late at night, plus a safe deposit box and 24-hour security.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities are limited — There's no gym, pool, or spa – and with a score of 5 for facilities, guests who want more than dining and a garden should look elsewhere.
  • Rooms come in one style — Only the Superior Room is listed (one king bed), so travellers needing twin beds or a suite may have to check availability.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel is strictly pet-free, which may rule it out for those travelling with a dog or cat.
  • Some service touches can slip — A few guests noted that check-out lacked any enquiry about how the stay went, and one mentioned minor inconveniences.

“Great for a business trip – the staff made me feel safe and looked after. The room had everything I needed: comfy bed, aircon, and TV. Breakfast in the airy gazebo was delicious with lots of choice. The location is handy, with plenty of restaurants nearby.”

8.1Verified guest

“Comfortable bed, good value, and lots of attention to detail in the refurbishment – the historic style is lovely. The bathroom is smallish but well done with marble tiles and old-fashioned fixtures. Quick room service, friendly staff, and a great breakfast. We stayed at Selborne Lodge the next night, and in comparison it felt overpriced and tired. Quarters should be the benchmark – though it’d be nice if they asked how your stay was at check-out.”

8.1Verified guest

“Loved the large, nicely furnished, and well-lit room (room 5). Breakfasts were excellent. All staff and service people were helpful and professional.”

“My go-to place in Durban. On my first visit, the staff found my forgotten earpods, which made me feel really welcome. With Wi-Fi, free parking, 24-hour reception, and a restaurant, it has everything I need. I’ll be back for Easter.”

8.1Verified guest

“The interior is beautifully done, keeping the original Victorian style of the converted houses. The restaurant – especially breakfast – was excellent, and with a small baby we appreciated the in-room dining. Staff were very friendly.”

8.1Verified guest

“Fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel. The location on a vibrant street with numerous restaurants is perfect – so convenient to have dining options within reach. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I really valued the security, with multiple locks for peace of mind. The service quality and comfort made my stay unforgettable.”
