First thing when we got to Durban after a long 6hour drive from Johannesburg was access to the main beach front and get to the hotel. The turnings to the beach lane where closed and had to drive about half a mile to turn then drive back to get to the hotel and find parking. Hotel staff were very friendly... more

The Balmoral is 100 years old this year and well kept. The breakfasts are great and the staff friendly.

Staff very friendly, really liked the place and would have no hesitation in recommending it. Having said that, where Balmoral is situated, it is not safe... more
