I booked the guesthouse during a business trip, as I prefer to stay in a smaller establishment, as it is a business trip I needed to consider budgets, this establishment was the best priced so I booked it. Well what an amazing place, I never expected such a BEAUTIFUL room and garden for the cost that I am paying! Modern,... More

This guest house is an absolute gem. Wether you're on holiday or business it is ideally located, about 10 mins to either beach or city centre. Colleen and Suzanne were wonderful hosts and very helpful. We arrived late afternoon after travelling all day and Colleen looked at me and said "would you like a beer", What a gal! The rooms... More

Stayed here during the World Cup in 2010, was an excellent choice. Our room (studio) was huge and more than ideal. Was great to unwind in during the evening before heading back out to a restaurant or bar. Florida Road is a short walk away and we walked there every night without any problems, we also walked to the beach... More

I stayed at The Palms during a business trip to Durban. It was just absolutely lovely! The room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast in the morning was absolutely yummy! The hosts Colleen and Suzanne are also very friendly and helpful, and the staff made my stay very comfortable. The best thing about my stay was the luxurious bed!... More

The Palms is a wonderful place where you are really at home! I had the garden room, so I had my ' own' garden! The staff of the hotel was very friendly, the room looked magnificent, the bed slept perfect, the honesty bar worked perfect, the location is great (best neighbourhood of Durban), swimmingpool just too nice, great breakfast with...

Spent two very pleasant nights at The Palms. We found the guesthouse to be very attractive, spacious and clean with a tasty breakfast each morning. They also serve the best coffee in Durban - seriously! The two owners were very helpful and very pleasant. The guesthouse is situated within 5 minutes walk to Florida Road where there are numerous restaurants... More

The Palms has lovely rooms and our hostess, Colleen, at first, seemed very gracious and helpful. However, although we booked three nights, we decided to stay only one night when Colleen advised it was not safe to walk two blocks to the restaurant she recommended. She was extremely supportive about our decision to check out the next day and made... More

Spent 4 nights at the Palm's guesthouse. The property is ideally located to explore most of Durban's sights, and is near some of the better restaurants. Service was impeccable, and nothing was too much to ask. The room was clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. Excellent cooked-to-order breakfast. More

My fiance and I stayed at the Palm's Guest House for 1 night in April and really enjoyed the short time we spent there. The owner (who is also the manager) was very friendly and professional and our room was beautifully decorated, very large with gorgeous views over Durban and out to the sea. The breakfast was also very well... More
